GForce shock rebound measuring tool

Coming soon from GForce is a simple on-road shock rebound measuring tool. Machined from aluminium and coming black anodised for wear and looks the stepped gauge helps to measure and adjust shock rebound from 1mm up to 11mm by simply sliding the compressed shock into the machined slot and reading the rebound value. The tool can also be used to set the rebound value by inserting the damper, keeping it at the designed value and then attaching the upper cap to bleed and set the shock. Laser-etched marking help with easy identification of the desired rebound value. The gauge is usable with most 1/8th and 1/10th on-road shock absorbers.
