Guys this might be a silly question but I would like to lower my shock by about 1CH and was wondering what size spanner wrench I should order? Are they universal, I have heard nightmares of people damaging their shock with long screwdrivers and hammers trying to make adjustments. I am super OCD and overthink things I have not done before, I just want to make sure I have the right tool for the job.
I have the Brozz I was looking at this spanner wrench because it's price is reasonable to me. Could anyone tell me if it would work? Thanks gang. Feel free to post any shock questions here too!

I am just hoping to lower by half an inch, was hoping an adjustment would do it, and not mean buying another shock. or thinner seat etc

If you arent actually getting that far down, then good news for you. If you are already there or past that point then I wouldn't recommend it personally.

Gasp! DONT TOUCH IT
Lol. Dude. Dont be afraid to play with the adjustment. The sky will not fall if you test different settings on your suspension. |

While I do agree that people shouldn't be afraid to make adjustments. Knowing how and why those adjustments are made is more important than simply willy nilly turning a spanner.

I just adjusted my tubes to 5psi each, that lowered me
![]() For real though, thank you guys. Now I know what the shock adjustment is actually meant for. I am a medium guy, so the shock is not too stiff or too soft rider sag about 2.5 I will give it some time to wear and tear but for now I am happy with that aspect of it. As far as lowering the height 1ch, I just decided to try some hiking boots on it and the extra tread made up the difference. It is actually a perfect snug fit. on another note if I had to rejoin this forum my name would be rider_sag it sounds awesome

Mine "settled" and lowered a little after I rode it awhile.
After that I say, go ahead and adjust away. Write down how many threads are showing before you start. If it starts handling bad or something, you'll know where to return it back to stock.
