How do you guys adjust Custom Axis front shocks? Mine aren't Compression or Rebound Adj. so I can't just turn the little ****. Instead you have to pull the spring down then slide the circlip down into the next groove... a royal pain in the ***... Is there any other way to do this? Like a spring compressor or something?

 

Do you not have a shock wrench? Most companies give them to you when you buy their shocks.

 

They [Custom Axis] didn't give me one. All they did give me was some stickers and a technical manual that doesnt explain how to adjust them, it just explains how they work.

 

It sounds like they are only preload adjustable. You should set the sag for your weight and leave it. If the valving or springs are wrong you need to do something about it(like have them revalved or get different springs).

Get the bike up on a stand that will allow the front tires to be suspended. That will make it alot easier on you. The difference between adjusting sag with the quad on the ground and on the stand is night and day.
