Author Message   Towjam Posted on Friday, May 30, 2008 - 10:05 am:        What size socket wrench does the front preload adjustment nut require?   Ratbuell Posted on Friday, May 30, 2008 - 12:54 pm:        I want to say 3/4...   Strada Posted on Friday, May 30, 2008 - 01:30 pm:        I use a 22mm long-reach socket.   Muppet Posted on Friday, May 30, 2008 - 01:49 pm:        The one that came in the toolkit? I know, it's a spanner, but it fits, so why not use that?   Towjam Posted on Friday, May 30, 2008 - 02:22 pm:        The one that came in the toolkit? I know, it's a spanner, but it fits, so why not use that? It may fit the nut but the handlebars are too close to allow you to do much with it. You really need a socket and extension.   Hughlysses Posted on Friday, May 30, 2008 - 02:29 pm:        The socket makes adjustments quicker and easier, especially if you're doing a fairly extreme adjustment, like going from one-up to passenger loading. Wrench in the toolkit is fine for minor tweaks.   Maximum Posted on Friday, May 30, 2008 - 10:13 pm:        I use a regular 22mm with an extension, which is the same socket that I use with the axle nut to take my wheels off.   Towjam Posted on Sunday, June 08, 2008 - 07:29 pm:        Due to a combination of laziness and no riding time over the past couple of weeks, I only today got the suspension fully dialed in. For the '08 models, it is the 3/4" socket you need. The 22mm is WAY too big.
