Which fork brands and damper systems are compatible with the Universal 8mm + 10mm Fork Shaft Clamp?

The Universal 8mm + 10mm Fork Shaft Clamp is compatible with nearly all modern mountain bike forks that use 8mm or 10mm small shafts, including Fox (FIT, GRIP, Charger, Dorado), RockShox, Marzocchi (Bomber, Mezzer), Manitou, and Cane Creek. The 8mm clamp handles most damper shafts and compression needles; the 10mm clamp fits most air spring shafts and many damper shafts. Note that a separate damper body clamp is still required for a full teardown of GRIP and Charger dampers.

How does the Universal 8mm + 10mm Fork Shaft Clamp differ from single-size shaft clamps?

Single-size shaft clamps cover only one shaft diameter, so a technician servicing a range of forks needs multiple individual clamps. The Universal combo includes both an 8mm and a 10mm clamp in one purchase, covering damper shafts, compression needles, and air spring shafts across virtually all major fork brands. For Fox-specific builds that also require a damper body clamp, Shockwave offers dedicated Fox FIT or GRIP combo sets that bundle all three clamps.

What is the correct way to prepare a shaft before using the Universal 8mm + 10mm Fork Shaft Clamp?

Always clean the shaft with isopropyl alcohol first, then wrap it once in a paper towel before clamping. Select the correct clamp size — 8mm or 10mm — that matches the shaft being worked on. Skipping cleaning or using the wrong clamp size risks shaft damage and is covered in the product's usage guide.

How much does the Universal 8mm + 10mm Fork Shaft Clamp cost, and does Shockwave Parts ship it to Canada?

The Universal 8mm + 10mm Fork Shaft Clamp is priced at $33.49 CAD and is currently in stock. Shockwave Parts ships from Canada; tracked shipping within Canada starts at $8.49 with a maximum of $14.99, and orders over $89 CAD qualify for free Canadian shipping. Orders are processed and dispatched within 1 business day.

What additional tools does Shockwave recommend pairing with the Universal 8mm + 10mm Fork Shaft Clamp for a complete fork service?

For a full lower-leg service, Shockwave recommends pairing this clamp combo with either the Basic Damper Shaft Driver or the Deluxe Damper Shaft Driver, plus a Rebound Driver and Spare Tips (3-Pack). Fox damper top caps require a 6-in-1 top cap wrench, while RockShox damper top caps typically open with a cassette tool. Most forks use 20wt oil in the lowers and 4wt or 5wt oil in the damper; Slickoleum or SRAM Butter is recommended for greasing — not Vaseline.
