I can't see the wife being too pleased when she gets in from work. Getting this bike in is one of the most challenging things I have ever done. Even damaged my tank a tad. Thankfully one of my winter tasks is a full respray.

Sorry to be a pain.

Had a good read through topics regarding forks and could not find the answer.

Could someone confirm the socket size for the nut around preload adjuster at top of fork legs?

I was thinking 24mm but would like to be sure before buying it.

Thanks
Rob
