Received my forks back from Traxxion with the AK20s installed by them.
They are still off the bike.
The preload adjuster and compression (top) adjuster look odd to me.
The large outer piece with lines looks as if it is not meant to move, so I don't know how the lines are useful. Otherwise it would almost look like the OEM preload adjuster.
If I am to adjust the giant allen for preload, do we know the size so I can order a proper socket?
And then there is the large allen bolt in the center. I would think that would
alter preload. But then, is the setting a matter of counting turns? If so, that would be odd. It would be better if it adjusted compression damping.
And then there is a little red cylindrical fitting in the recess of the allen bolt. But it does not seem to take an allen wrench, so it would seem it can't move and therefore I have to wonder about its purpose.
In summary, these are odd looking, I'm completely lost, and I would appreciate an explanation of what to do with them. I did not see any hints on the Traxxion website.
There is a photo here, poke the right thumbnail:
