My Loco Moto has started to develop a little slop at the reducers and I was wondering if any of you knew where I might purchase some new ones. I'm running a Fox shock. Should I contact Fox or Titus?

well unless they are REALLY worn out, you probably dont need new ones. I has told to make some shims from a beer or coke can when they got sloppy. ( was told this by the frame maker so.....)
if you really want new ones, you would need to talk to Fox

sounds like the eyelet bushing is worn out. If you can get some from fox, you can press them out and install new ones. otherwise you can send it back for them to do it. the mount hardware usually doesn't wear out as fast.

Definatley the static bearing in the shock eye. A good shop should have tons of them. It takes 5 minutes to replace.
