Not bad then. Most people say "setup" and mean just twiddling adjusters.

Take the fork caps off, turn the bike upside down and shake.

Yeah don't do what most of the tards do and whip the bottom bolt out then wonder why you can't put everything back together.

It doesn't take much effort to get forks out when you've done em a few times!
