Suspension setup
Whether you're at a complete loss when it comes to suspension settings or want to refine the settings you already have, these dedicated sessions will give you settings tailored to YOU and give you more balance and confidence on the bike. I'll also explain what the settings do, and give you settings for different terrain & conditions.
Setup options :
Data acquisition setup (full day)
Data acquisition setup (half day)
£150
Ideal for racers, downhill or enduro, wanting a bit more out of their suspension. We use Motion Instruments data acquisition equipment to analyse fork and shock travel, compression shaft speeds, rebound speeds and front/rear balance to give optimal settings for speed and comfort at speed. This 7 hour session, on a trail of your choice*, or my test track, includes:
Workshop/carpark setup
£60
Ideal for people with new bikes and little experience of setting suspension, but want to fiddle themselves once the basics are set. This 1 hour session, in my workshop, includes:
​
-
Air pressure set to give the correct sag front and rear
-
Rebound set in relation to air pressures
-
Advice on volume spacer requirements
-
Advice on compression damping settings
-
Print out of settings and recommendations
£300
-
Attachment of Motion Instruments sensors to your bike and accurate measurement of sag front and rear. Alternatively, your bike can be delivered to me 24 hours before session for fitting of sensors. This will maximise riding time during the session
-
6 hours riding to get good sample data for analysis. The trail needs to be a minimum of 1 minute long and not too smooth or slow. Typical venues: FoD, Hindhead, Cwmcarn
-
Data is analysed by me, or can be done in conjunction with your mechanic if you have one
-
Settings changed, based on data and rider feedback after each run to improve setup
-
Best front and rear balance and rider-preferred settings obtained
-
Print out of settings and recommendations for different trail conditions (steep tracks, wet, cold, jumpy, etc)
Ideal for trail bike and enduro bike setup. We use Motion Instruments data acquisition equipment to analyse fork and shock travel, compression shaft speeds, rebound speeds and front/rear balance to give optimal settings for speed and comfort. This 4 hour session, on my local trails (near Newbury in Berkshire), includes:
-
Attachment of Motion Instruments sensors to your bike and accurate measurement of sag front and rear. Alternatively, your bike can be delivered to me 24 hours before session for fitting of sensors. This will maximise riding time during the session
-
3 hours on my local trails (near Newbury in Berkshire). 6 or 7 runs will be needed and it requires pushing or riding back up (approx 150ft), so expect it to be fairly intense/tiring
