WHEN TO COME IN SOONER?

There are other reasons for servicing your suspension before the required hours are up. These include your bike not riding right, and you should be on the lookout for the following symptoms.

• Dryness, the stanchion on your fork or rear air shock should always have a thin film of oil.
• You are experiencing greater friction during your ride – it’s less comfortable, and your fork feels sticky.
• The fork is losing air or oil, and both are a sign of a damaged seal.
• Bubble noises in your rear air shock.
• Creaking or clicking noises as the suspension compresses could mean the pivot bearings need to be replaced.

*RECOMMENDED EVERY 100 HOURS

WE CAN HELP YOU SET YOUR SAG. 

In addition to keeping your shock clean and maintaining it, there are other really important aspects to dialing in your ride.

Taking the time to properly set sag can be the difference between an amazing ride and a rough one.

A good starting point for shock sag is to go with the bike manufacturers recommended value; they’ll know the amount the suspension design works best with.

If you don’t have that information, our mechanics recommend starting at around 25% of the total shock travel, and you can fine tune from there. Sag is easily adjusted with a quality shock pump and increasing or decreasing the air pressure to suit. 

WE CAN HELP YOU ADJUST YOUR REBOUND.

From there you’ll want to get the rebound right. Rebound damping is what controls how quickly your suspension returns to its original state after compressing to absorb a bump.

If set too fast, traction will suffer and your bike won’t hold a line. If set too slow your suspension will pack up and not be ready to absorb the terrain ahead.
