O.K. Monkeys (Gawd I love saying that) I need some feedback please.
I just installed a Manitou SX-R shock. The compression spring tuning knob (left knob) is extremely tight and requires a LOT of force to rotate. I can still rotate the knob about 4 full turns, with intermediate clicks about every 60 degrees of rotation. I am rotating the knob, not the underlying nut. The compression dampening knob feels fine but the compression spring knob is way tight (I'm talking bruised thumbs, no way my wife could turn it... etc)
Suggestions? This is a new fork, never been ridden on. I am eager to ride on this but don't want to foul it.
Let me throw down the gauntlent of challenge. I also fired this off to Answer's tech service this morning. Can the monkeys or paid guys give me a (good) answer first).
And they're off .
