You’ve spent a lot of money on a quality mountain bike and suspension technology is better than ever, but in order to function properly it needs to be set up correctly! Different brands use different systems and it can be a challenge to get your perfect setup.
No idea what these dials do?
Ideally your suspension settings will be able to allow your bike to track and handle predictably while absorbing jumps and other impacts in its stride by using the full range of available travel.
The hard part is that the fork and shock are just two parts of the total suspension system. If you change one, it affects the others. It is a case of keeping your bike balanced over as many obstacles as possible.
Not sure how to adjust them?
Your body can also make a huge difference to your control, speed and handling of your bike. That’s why Tyred n’ Cranky and Pedal To Progression have joined forces to offer our suspension setup sessions.
If you have a new bike and not sure how to get the most out of it or haven idea what those dials do? Then our suspension setup sessions are FOR YOU!
We offer a tailored service completely focused on getting the most out of your bike. We start by setting and measuring your base settings with a quick overview of what to expect during the session.
