Hello - it's me again - the WD40 guy.
Another question -
I just recently purchased a 2002 Specialized Expedition Sport with Insync Exceed 266 front shocks. (My first new bike since my Huffy Santa Fe 10 Speed :) )
If you're sitting on the bike, there is an adjustable knob on the top of the left fork. This adjusts the stiffness of the ride.
I would like to stiffen up the ride a bit because so far I have only done street riding and I find that on my downpedal, I'm loosing alittle by the fact that my shocks are compressing.
How many times should I have to turn this knob? I tried turning it about 10 times clockwise but it did not seem to do anything to the stiffness of the shocks. I tested by pushing down on the shocks from the handlebars.
Any ideas?
