The flange must be removed in order to turn the drop = screw, which resembles marine/boat cleat. Due to the size and = configuration of the cleat there you are left with a choice of 1/2 turns = or full turns. No .001" adjustments with this design. And how about the clever thing they did with jack position screw/button. = One has to squeezes his/her fingers between the neighboring wippens to = reach down and turn the button by hand...there are no screw heads = protruding to use a conventional drop screw driver. And the list goes on and on interesting little things that they did = elongate the regulating process 10 fold.

The frontchecks = and the underdamper setup are kind of cool. I couldn't figure out how = to get the drop dialed in very precisely.
