Beautifully machined from billet aluminium, it has a similar density to the suspension top cap itself, so that marring is reduced, especially since it's CNC machined with zero lead in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe socket therefore achieves a greater contact area with the top cap, with the engagement being improved still further by the shallowness of the socket – just 25mm for all sizes – and the fact that there's no need to file it and ruin the intended snug fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis means there's less slip over the top cap and exacting tolerances are achieved, making the tricky task of servicing your fork a breeze, especially since each socket is made specifically for the job at hand. One size fits all does not achieve the best results when it comes to suspension servicing!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe socket's usefulness is enhanced by being made to marry with your 3\/8” torque wrench and the addition of finger splines, which make the socket easier to wield with greasy fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eCNC machined, anodized green Top Cap Sockets with exacting tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade specifically to fit the low-profile hex at the top of each fork leg, with no lead in or chamfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eAvailable singly or as a set of 6, sizes 24-32mm, to fit most modern suspension forks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eShallow depth of 25mm maximises engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eConstructed from soft billet aluminium that won't mar your suspension top cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eWith 3\/8” square drive to accommodate torque wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eFinger splines for grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in Bend, Oregon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003ePart Type: Tools\u003cbr\u003eSize: 27mm\u003cbr\u003eType: Tools\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56938021847414,"sku":"0739189837816","price":41.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0739189837816-abbey-bike-tools-top-cap-socket-green-27mm","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
