Suspension Fork and Shock Maintenance and Overhaul

WHY GET YOUR SUSPENSION Maintained?

Mountain bike suspension forks and rear shocks require routine service to ensure that they continue performing at their best. They are exposed to the elements and your aggressive, competitive nature so need to be looked after! Mathitech Bikes is a professional team, you can trust us to look after your pride and joy!

As MTB suspension uses oil to control damping characteristics and to lubricate internal parts, it is imperative that it is kept fresh & clean. Seals on these components are designed to keep the oil in and the dirt and water out, but inevitably seals do wear over time and some of these contaminants will make it past the seals and into the oil.

Riding with dirty oil is a sure fire way of effecting how well your bike can perform. It can make the suspension feel harsh and limit the amount of travel and also cause internal wear as dirt & grit move around in the oil. Internal wear can lead to suspension damage and unnecessary expense. Regular servicing can effectively combat this as well as better set-up your MTB for any demands you wish to inflict upon it!

Mathitech Bikes provides the following comprehensive and detailed mountain bike suspension maintenance service. It is all performed taking into account everything including rider weight, ability, most frequent cycling terrain, your thoughts and much more!
