[Deleted]

Hi all Zed Lovers.
New to the Zed scene brought my Zed Thou in March and totally love it. 1 thing is bugging me ..........................
Can anyone please advise me as to what size C spanner adjusts the rear shock?
I tried the one i already own and it dont fit.
I even asked the dealer where i brought it and got the answer
"that tool is not listed, sorry and goodbye"
Fabulous customer service
Please please PLEASE HELP !

I have bought 3 different c-spanners, while one fits nicely, I am unable to turn the locking rings (sigh). The best way to do it is to raise the bike so there is no weight on the suspension, then use a flat ended drift and a hammer. You need to be careful, but it is the only way I have been able to adjust the shock with it fitted to the bike.

You can get C spanners with a pivoting end that will fit most shock rings.....it will automatically fit anything that is in the smallest to largest range of the actual tool......google it or look in MCN/bike mags and so on.

The other alternative would be to remove it if you don't want to smack it with non factory tools.....all should work though if you are careful
