Koni shock adjustment on LXi's

[David Brady]

Wow, Brad, you really went to town on your leather. I'll
definitely try your technique. You're right, what I like about
CPR is that it's completely non-greasy.

Thanks for the info on the ISRI seat. I had no idea that
they're adjustable. I wouldn't mind firming mine up a bit too.
Do you know the exact procedure; it may be obvious once
I crawl down there to take a look?

Congrats on the bus ride. Like I said, changing the front shock
settings is very easy. If you find she falls into the road, then
loosen 'em up a bit. As far as expanding the shocks, they can
be a bear. I do it by hand by sticking a 1 ft long wood stick
through the lower eye, and one thru the upper eye. I stand on
the lower stick and pull on the upper one - lots of grunting helps!
