Folks, Is there an aftermarket knob that will fit onto the front preload adjuster nut? Some bikes have theses so you can adjust the preload without a wrench. | ||

Froggy, you got it all wrong buddy. It's this one for our friends up North!  | ||

That's only .08!!!! | ||

Those are rebound and compression damper adjuster wrenches, not preload adjuster wrenches. | ||

Gents, Yes Rwven is correct. The preload on my 2008 uses a wrench. I'll take those dimes though. Trivia: What famous sailing ship is that on the dime? | ||

The entire Canadian Navy  | ||

I believe it's the Bluenose. My folks are from Campobello Island, New Brunswick. My Grandparents had a painting of the Bluenose hanging on their wall. (Message edited by rwven on March 22, 2009) | ||

I found a set on the trojan-horse website! Now I just need to find them in the US. http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/160.html | ||

I wonder if those will work with the handlebars so close to the adjusters. Let us know what you find out. | ||

Froggy, you're too funny. | ||

Toronto, It's probably cheaper to ship from the UK than the States. I kid you not... | ||

I just use a 3/4" socket on a medium extension, and a ratchet. I'm pretty sure it's 3/4"...I'd have to check, but "a" socket in the right size works just fine and clears the bars. | ||

If I recall correctly it's 22mm. Showa Forks after all.... | ||

Froggy, It's not the entire navy. There is an inflatable raft too that's not shown on the dime. | ||
| Methed |
...and that fleet of canoes, too, eh? | ||

My '06 Ulysses' Adjusters are 22mm - same size as the rear axle insert (as found in the tool kit). | ||
| Ratbuell |
'06 is much larger than 07-up. When they stopped the "count the lines" method of adjustment, the hex size changed significantly. |
