Bleeders are small valves located on the suspension forks that allow excess air to escape. This is crucial for maintaining the correct pressure within the fork, which directly affects the bike's performance and handling. Regularly checking and using the bleeders helps ensure your suspension system operates smoothly and efficiently.

Fox forks are renowned for their advanced technology, durability, and performance. They are designed to absorb shocks and provide better control on rough terrains, making them a popular choice among competitive cyclists and enthusiasts. Investing in Fox forks can significantly enhance your riding experience.

Chamferless sockets lack a beveled edge, allowing for a more precise fit on fasteners with minimal height. This design is particularly useful for accessing tight spaces, such as the bleeders on Fox forks. If you're working on specialized bike components, chamferless sockets can make your maintenance tasks easier and more efficient.

A 3/8" square drive is a standard size for ratchets and extensions, allowing you to connect various sockets, including the 13mm socket. This compatibility is essential for applying torque to fasteners on your bike, ensuring that parts are securely tightened or loosened during maintenance.

Yes, as long as the ratchet or wrench has a compatible drive size. For a 13mm socket with a 3/8" square drive, you will need a ratchet or wrench that also has a 3/8" square drive. This ensures that you can effectively use the socket for your bike maintenance tasks.
