Is there a certain way that you need to turn the little adjuster or will it work fine going either way. I was able to adjust the front ones but those back ones dont move for nothing.

Status: offline 		Not being much of a performance minded rider can someone explain to me what the benefits are of turning them all the way up or down? Most of the stuff I ride in is rough trail, lots of bumps and ruts and not at too fast a speed.

      Though it is a Motha' to get them adjusted afterwards, especially if tyopu ride mud/water!  I never could readjust my old 700, & that was before I was any kind of mud/deep water rider! Later                     Brandon

Status: offline 		Jack it up and just use a big pair of channel locks as stated about easy and fast. But if your looking for a smooth ride try taking off the sway bar and see how you like that.
