Anyone have a place to get them? I guess Fox? I need 22mm reducers for a V10 with a DHX 5.0

Call Fox directly, tell 'em what bike you have. They most likely have the info for reducers on your V10, but they don't have all builds in their data base, so it might be good to measure the length of the reducer and the 'thickness' of the bolt. ie, 25 mm reducer kit for 8 mm bolt

If you strike out with Fox. Rockshox DU-bushings and reducers for the Vivid fit the DHX fine.

If I remember correctly the nearest reducer is 22.2mm from RS, try to get a really precise measurement before ordering, a vernier caliper is your friend.

I run the Vivid (1/2") DU's and reducers on my bike (DHX 5.0) and it works perfectly.

looks like they are 22mm reducers and Fox has them as well as the other 2 pieces that go over them on each side of the shock

What you need is 8 x 21.84mm on both ends, ideally a 3-piece set comprised of 1 stainless steel sleeve and 2 spacers.

Just so everyone knows, I ordered what is stated above from Patrick at Elka and was told I would have them in a couple days. Well, we're now going on 3 weeks and still no parts. Contacted Patrick a couple times and said if they did not have them in stock to refund my money. He promised me they "went out" and I would have them by the weekend. Weekend came and no parts. I was then told another BS story and he was going to give me a t shirt too. I should have them in a day or so. Nothing yet. Customer service basically sucks. Do yourselves a favor and order what you need somewhere else. I will never buy from Elka again. BTW, still no parts

Your LBS should be able to order them for you. QBP's selection isn't that great, but BTI has pretty much every size under the sun.

Not only did Elka not ship my parts but they also quoted me $25.00 shipped and just charged my card $35.00. I just had to file a dispute with my credit card company and Patrick Tellier will not reply to any of my emails.
