RX3: Lowering Front End 1/2"

Here are a few pics I took to illustrate the process. This may help out shorter riders if they need an extra 1/2". There are marks on the top of the fork tubes that allow you to line up both tubes but be careful not to let the tube caps touch the handlebars. You may be able to squeeze an extra 1/4" or more if you have bar risers but just under the upper clamp the tubes step up in size and would eventually stop moving up through the clamps. The bottom clamp is fine with no steps to the tubes, smooth all the way down. I had already lowered my wife's RX3 and had private messages asking how to do this adjustment so I broke it down again for illustration purposes. I hope this helps, my wife is getting pretty close to flat foot, one heal up and one flat she is 5'2" with around a 29" inseam. Measuring her inseam was the best part of this whole exercise.
