    What tool are people using to adjust the preload on the rear springs?

    I regularly carry the OH on the back and need to crank them up to max, but when riding alone this gives a hard ride so i adjust them back to 3.

    Have been using an allen key but that seems to be chewing up the hole.

    Is there a proper tool???

    I have always used my hand. The occasional squirt of WD40 on the collar ensures nothing seizes up.

    Just an allen key, to use as a lever, in the hole on the adjuster ring.
