Whether you are just doing routine maintenance or dialing your suspension in for the next epic session, these top cap suspension sockets are designed to help make your job as fast and easy as possible without leaving your top cap scratched and rounded, or even worse completely stripped. This socket has only the slightest chamfer to make alignment quick and repeatable. Sockets are CNC machined and finished with a hard anodize coating that is significantly more durable than the traditional colored anodized coatings.

Works great to loosen the cap bolt on a Yamaha Super Tenere forks without removing handlebars.
The 24 mm socket works great to remove the cap bolt on the upside down forks of a Yamaha Super Tenere. If you want to loosen the cap bolt with the fork still in place and clamped with the lower triple tree bracket and not remove the handle bars, this socket works. It is short enough to clear the handlebars and the socket is deep enough to go over the preload adjusting bolt with it screwed down to about 2 lines showing. You will also need a 2" extension to put the ratchet above the handlebars and it needs to be a wobble extension so it will clear the handle bars.

like 1/8". So it's possible the concave style wouldn't ...
It fits, but I didn't try any of the cheaper ones. The key difference that I could spot in photos is that the "oil filter" wrenches seem to have a bit of a concave shape to the face of the socket, to make it easier to get onto a nut that's hard to get to. But at the top of bike forks (Fox, anyways) the nut you're trying to grab is very thin, like 1/8". So it's possible the concave style wouldn't grab the nut sufficiently, but like I said, I didn't try it.

Will scratch your fork!
Even though this socket is specifically for fork top caps, the walls are too thick, so the crown of my fork was scratched. If I could redo it, I would have sprung for the Abbey Bike Tools socket.

Lost time and money on this.
Do not buy for rockshox. The walls are to thick on this for it to seat property. Disappointed.
