The DT SWISS R 232 ONE rear shock uses DU bushings for mounting. The required hardware includes:
- DU bushing (already mounted on the shock) - DU pin - Sleeve
These parts must match the dimensions specific to the bicycle frame. You should consult the manufacturer of the 2023 Fezzari Signal Peak to determine the correct dimensions of the mounting hardware.
The cover page and the footing provide information about the type of product and manual as well as the version of the manual. The DT Swiss contact details can be found on the back. A list of all DT Swiss service centers can be found at www.dtswiss.com.
