Default adjusting Hagon rear shock on bike.....?

Am I missing something here - no way I can get at it with the C spanner whilst it is fitted.

know this might sound like a daft question, but the shock is fitted to the bike with the preload adjuster at the top isn't it?

I use a mini Ohlins one (c spanner) I picked up a couple of years ago. Remember it has the lil grub screw too.

have you tried attaching one of the 'handle tools' onto the c spanner in the SV cheesium toolkit? For a bit of leverage

Odd. Which side are you attacking it from? Dunno if the pointy is different to the curvy, but there should be enough room from the left hand side.

Post a pic up possibly?
