ABSTRACT:
A system and method for mounting a shock absorber to a bicycle frame. The system preferably includes at least one spacer having a first spacer member and a second spacer member. Each of the first and second spacer members include a curved contact surface configured to contact the respective surface of the other spacer member. A first one of the spacer members is located relative to the bicycle frame and the second one of the space members is located relative to the shock absorber. The shock absorber and the second one of the spacer members may be rotated relative to the first spacer member and the bicycle frame to achieve a desired alignment between the shock absorber and the bicycle frame to compensate for misalignment between the mounting structures on the bicycle frame for a respective first and second ends of the shock absorber.
