Hi everyone, anyone added the grey tokens that come with the zeb fork? If yes is there a tool that's needed? It looks like I need something but didnt receive anything in the pack apart from 2 grey tokens.

Perfect thank you sir - I'm just logging onto the trailhead.rockshox.com as we speak - Thanks for the help.Oh and be careful with the O ring, easy to snag and damage (from experience ?)
Hang on, have the Zeb manual here....Top caps...24 mm socket or RockShox Top Cap/Cassette Tool (or standard cassette tool)...28 N•m (250 in-lb).
Wasnt sure myself if the extra for the RS and Fox was going to be worth it - TBH I'm glad I stuck with the S as I'm more than please with the Rockshox - faster colour as well always helpsYeah loving my 160S so far. Always liked RS. So were there 2 installed in the fork from the factory (in addition to the 2 in the box?) I might go the other way and take one out if so.
Good to hear - I'm similar re the drops and also want a bit more support for the faster rocky downhill sections - pity I have to work this week as I might not get a chance to test until next weekend now!! - Need to invest in some decent lights nowI’ve gone with 3, seems a good balance of plush and supportive on the drops.
I've not worried about not having any compression adjustment yet - still dialling in the pressure+rebound+volume. Lots of my rides is repeated ruts, bit like tractor-tyre treads and it seems to pack down a bit on those, which I assume is rebound.I’m really liking the Zeb fork but part of me also wants to upgrade to the charger 2.1 damper.
So, just a standard 24 mm socket will do it?Oh and be careful with the O ring, easy to snag and damage (from experience ?)

So, wiser to go for the RS tool itself? I'm fairly clumsy.Those using a standard socket to loosen the top cap on the fork, be cautious! The flats on the top cap are not very big at all, whereas the inside chamfer on the socket is quite large. That chamfer is to clear the radius on steel bolts. What you have left for engagement is really small and the top cap is soft aluminium! The last thing you want to do is to rpounjd off the top cap!
Take great care, press down on the socket to ensure max engagement. But best of all, grind the socket flat and remove the internal chamfer. I borrowed a mate's hand-held grinder and I thought it would take ages. It took less than a minute and I was being really careful. It took longer to rub the socket across a honing stone to smooth out the grinding marks.
Ordered earlier. Just $10 USD online for RS tool!This is the tool I use, you just remove the axle follower on the cassette tool for the rockshox air spring cap.
