Classification: CPC B  F | IPC B  F

Claim 1:
2. The adjustable shock absorber system of claim 1, wherein the lockable adjustment ring further comprises:
a) a locking screw; and
b) an adjustment ring body, further comprising:
a ring gap, which is configured to allow flexing of the adjustment ring body;
a first lateral aperture, which is configured to protrude laterally through an outer corner of a first end of the adjustment ring body, on a first side of the ring gap; and
a second lateral aperture, which is configured to protrude laterally through an outer corner of a second end of the adjustment ring body, on a second side of the ring gap;
wherein the adjustment ring body is flexible;

such that the first lateral aperture and the second lateral aperture are aligned, such that the locking screw screws into the first lateral aperture and the second lateral aperture, such that tightening the locking screw decreases a width of the ring gap;
such that tightening the locking screw locks the lockable adjustment ring in position, thereby locking the preload of the coil-over shock absorber.
