those annodised aluminimum things? I had some fitted to one set of forks I bought but slung em, never adjust the preload once ive got the bike setup as i dont track it only have it for road use.

do you do a lot of preload fiddling? If not probably best spend the money on fuel :)

if you are wanting to fiddle then not sure which ones are "best" im afraid

The idea was to use them to set the bike up not to fiddle with them everytime i go out.

a 14 (could be 17mm) spanner works fine too, theres one in the toolkit if you have it.. if not any normal spanner can be used. (cheaper too)

sometimes they can corrode to the fork top too which isnt ideal

unless your constantly adjusting them for different tracks and what not id just use a normal spanner.

saves some pikey turning them around when your not there too

I see your point i guess i should just carry my 14 mm stubby with me on next decent ride out.

yep its what i did.

theres some good guides on getting your suspension set up, have you read any? I can link you to a few if you like, once setup it hardly needs any tweaking.

(apologies if you alread yknow all this)

Links yes please ............I have made a new stubby spanner today I bought a set from poundland and ground the other end to a flat screwdriver for the rebound job done, now need a basic idea of what i should be aiming for.

Thanks very much - I will be printing this off and try and get a base line.

Its been 9 years since the bike has been used regularly its took a lot of work over the last 6 months getting it out of storage and road ready again.

cheers.
