OK remembering I know next to nothing this may sound kinda dumb.
Im trying to get my suspension settings back to original factory standard. I think it was set way to hard and thats why I feel every damn bump.
On the front suspension The preload is the large silver nut with the circles on it. Was set to 3. Now show 6 out of a possible 7 rings.
The brass screw. Is tight as a gnats chuff. Previous owner has knackered the heads quite a lot and the bit I can get it to turn is about 1-1.5 turns. I get no "clicks and can see no notches ect. They are amlost flush with the top of the large alloy preload nuts.
I think they may be jamed in the tightest postion, am I right? Any way apart from a stripdown to fix it?
Rear shock. I have no idea what the hell I am looking at. I see an adjustable ring with notches for a tool/screwdriver to be placed and lots of adjustment in the threads but no ideas from there.
Sorry and I have read the suspension guides but I dont know what Im looking at so you see my dilemma.
Thanks for any help
