It'll either be by rotating a serrated plastic wheel near the lever pivot, by trying to fit an allen key into a screw head that's close to, and pointing straight at your grips, or by rotating a plastic knob that's tucked away in pretty much the same awkward place.

on the CR it is the little black serrated wheel (I think it is metal on the CR though). It has a slightly indexed feel and you should be able to see it moving the lever a few mm when you rotate it

Is it different on the cr mags, as there is no wheel..

on the CR Mag (just like XO and XX) you use a long handled allen key (2mm??) on the piston barrel head, which is located facing outwards on the brake lever pivot area

I'd advise removing the master cylinder (brake lever assembly) from the bars as its quite easy to round out the piston barrel head if using a long ball end allen key, as you have to go in at an angle to avoid the bars/grips
