A client's full suspension bike felt harsh on every rock garden. We checked sag, rebound and compression settings, then set the shock up to match his weight and riding style.

PROJECT WITH DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
A road bike fit for a first time cycle tour rider.
Naledi needed a bike for the Cycle Tour. We set her up on a flat bar road bike with a shorter reach.
We adjusted her saddle height and checked her brake reach before her first long ride.
She came back once her hands stopped going numb.
What we changed
A shorter stem, padded gloves and the right saddle height.
FAQs
How this can be done for me?
Bring your bike in and tell us where you normally ride. We will set your sag, rebound and compression to suit your weight, then take it out for a test run.
How long does it take
A full suspension setup takes about half an hour. We check your sag, rebound and compression, then send you out on a short ride to confirm it feels right.
Porta nec aenean pellentesqu
We can set up suspension on any bike, even ones we did not sell. Bring it in with the shock pump if you have one, and we will do the rest.
Can I book online
Yes, book a suspension setup through our website or call the workshop. Let us know your weight and the trails you ride so we can prepare before you arrive.
TACITIRS LOBORTIS
We check sag first, set to match your riding weight exactly.
REBOUND SETTING
Rebound is tuned so the suspension recovers quickly without feeling bouncy or harsh.
COMPRESSION SETUP
Compression is set to soak up hits without wallowing on climbs.
TEST RIDE
A short ride confirms everything feels right before you leave.
