Title: Adjusting rear shock without tool
Post by: snOhio on April 01, 2013, 04:30:20 PM
Hi all,

My bike did not come with the factory tool kit.  Is there any recommended alternative for adjusting the preload on the rear spring?

Save that, does anyone have a spare tool kit they'd like to part with?

A hammer and a long flat blade screwdriver works :thumb:
