Anyone tell me which bolt it is or got any pictures to show me of how you drop the arms down i just want to remove the seat my FK's sit on to see how much lower it goes... probably going to attempt to adjust the brake bias valve at the same time.

Pictures would be appriciated

well if you look at it logically, its gotta go lower cause there is less for it to sit on so its just gonna sit lower than the depth of the seat

i took out the bit that winds up the spring but left the threaded bit in and it sat lower, i was wondering if i can use it with just the spring it's self!

one thing that tutorial is missing is your really need to unclip the rear brake pipes as lowering the rear axel as low as it goes nearly snaps the flexible brake hose.
