Fox Suspension Topcap Socket

A chamferless design means the socket has sharp, square edges rather than the beveled edges found on standard hardware store sockets. This allows the tool to sit flush against the entire depth of the top cap, significantly reducing the chance of the tool slipping and scarring your fork's finish.

No, this specific socket is sized at 28mm and is designed exclusively for Fox 34 forks. Always verify your fork's specific top cap size before purchasing, as using the wrong size can damage the aluminum components.

While the external knurling allows for a good grip for manual adjustments, we highly recommend using a 3/8-inch drive torque wrench with this socket. Suspension top caps have specific torque requirements, and using a torque wrench is the only way to ensure they are tightened correctly without over-tightening.

The 7000 series aluminum construction is chosen to be softer than the fork's top cap material. This intentional design choice ensures that if any force is misapplied, the tool is more likely to deform than the expensive suspension component itself.

This tool is designed with a 3/8-inch square drive, which is intended for use with a ratchet or torque wrench. Using an adjustable wrench on the exterior is not recommended, as it won't provide the even, centered pressure needed to safely remove or install the top cap.
