Well, I guess my bike has been lowered. Hopfully the dealer can adjust it for me tomorrow.
How can I tell how they lowered it? Last edited by R. Lewis; Sep 9th, 2009 at 08:49 PM. Reason: tidying up the post |

Measure the exposed fork tube and compare to another bike the same as yours. Usually it's obvious by the 1" shorter tube just looking at it.

Re: Suspension Question? I think...
Dumb question here, was the bike on the stand?
 The lowering is done inside the forks and is reversible usually with the right parts.
