My mountain bike has a set of RST Omni preload shocks with caps on the top. Are these to adjust the shocks?



How do you adjust these, and how do they work? By the way my bike is a Haro, if that helps.

No.

If you take off the caps you'll notice allen screws inside. Removing them will allow the shock to be disassembled and serviced. Source(s): 27 years in the industry
it depends... some just have caps to prevent dust from getting in and to keep the pressure inside the same but if it says on the cap that you can twist one way or another to raise or lower it then yah u can. if you are rideing on a flat surface then keep the suspention's travel short because the movements of the suspention will absourb some of the power that u use to peddal the bike so only raise the suspention when you on rough roads for a green trail you won't need the travel to be more than 100mm but if you are on a blue trail then you have to raise it to a minimum of 100mm and on black dimond... wellraise it above 150mm and depends on how bad the trail is you should probly raise it a bit more... and p.s (no offence) RST suspention sucks!! get a decent pair of rockshock or bomber a nice set should be about the thickness of two of your fingers and the travel should be above 100mm the price for these are usually 500$ for all pourpouse suspention. cheaper ones are crap and more expensive ones are for pros.
