About this part
The Avid Mugen MBX8 Aluminum Shock Standoff Set for Low Traction tracks are made from 7075-T6 aluminum and Hard Anodized for durability. The kit includes two standard length standoffs for the front and two +4.5mm standoffs for the rear which helps aid in rear bite on low traction tracks.
Tip:
Run your M3 nylon lock nut backwards so that the nylon is facing the shock cap and tighten all the way down. This removes all the slop but with the rounded portion of the nut touching the shock cap bushing, there is never any bind. If this for some reason drives you crazy, install the M3 nut like the manual suggests and back it off just a hair to allow the shock cap to have a very small amount of twist (Nylon flush with the end of the screw). Don't forget to also loctite your screw that goes into the shock standoff at all times. After 100's of hours of use on these in the MBX7 and now MBX8, Avid has never had a shock come loose.

If the rear grip feels like it's missing, try +4.5mm..The rear grip comes to life.
