Full Fork and Shock Service:

every 100-200 hours of riding, depending on conditions/ use

The dampers and air springs in mountain bike suspension are constantly working to mitigate the forces from demanding terrain. Friction and heat cycles in the shock and fork break down seals and oils. Heat capacity, lubricity, and other properties of the oil degrade from normal use. In dampers, oil, air, or gas moves across a failing seal, leading to cavitation (air bubbles) in your damper. Damping decreases from this air/ oil mixture. In air springs, we see air chamber leaks or damage, or dust wipers popping out from air migrating into the lower legs. Eventually the advancing wear of  O-rings, seals, and oil leads to damaging parts in the suspension. This requires repair beyond normal service.

Full service of your shock or fork disassembles the chassis, springs, and valving assemblies. It replaces dynamic seals, static seals, glide-rings, dust wipers, oils and grease. If you're at 200 hours of riding or experiencing issues with your suspension then this service is necessary. Your suspension will feel brand new again after this service.

• Complete rebuild of component

• Replaces air can seals, dust wipers, crush washers

• Replaces damper seals, air spring seals, control knob seals

• New grease and damper oil

• Nitrogen gas charge for all shocks

• Restores factory and brand new ride quality

You need this service if:

• 100-200 hours of riding without full service, depending on use and conditions. (ie regular dh/ bike park riding requires more frequent service)

• Something feels wrong

• Soft or no lockout/ compression, rebound

• Squishing or knocking noises
