Bike Setup Clinics- Sprung Suspension Workshop

Suspension Setup Clinics

We’re based in the perfect place for suspension set-up and testing, so we’re offering special set-up clinics to help you really get more from your bike than you ever would by fiddling with dials in the car park, and get real life feedback combined with watching you on the bike, video analysis and telemetry if needed.

If it’s not a new bike you’re getting dialled in, we recommend having both your fork and shock serviced before a set-up clinic to make sure you can really make the most of your time working on setup.

Our options are below:

Setup Clinic – 1hr Setup

Basic bike setup

Based in the space around our workshop, we’ll run through:

Basic bike setup – saddle height, bar height, brake lever angle, bar width and roll
Basic sag setup
Basic damper setup, with damper settings based on our extensive database and your requirements
Settings cards for your suspension so you know where we’ve dialled it to

£45 – Call to book

Although we allow an hour for this, it usually takes between 30-45 minutes.

Setup Clinic – Half Day

Dial in your bike setup with one of our World Cup experienced technicians.

The 3 hour setup clinic is booked for upto 3 people and it’s (obviously) best you’re all on similar bikes, whether XC, Trail, Enduro or DH. They take place around our workshop in the Forest of Dean however we can operate at other locations should you wish, but you’ll need to get in touch to book anywhere else.

The setup clinics can be tailored to what you want to get out of them, however we usually structure them as below:

Talk about what you want to achieve, your riding, where you like to ride etc
In depth bike setup at the workshop.
Time on the trails with video analysis to ensure setup is right for you and make any changes needed.

Setup Clinic – Full Day with Data Logging, timing and Helmet Cam footage

Fully dial your bike’s setup with World Cup technician Jake Ireland. We are in arguably the best position in the UK to be running these days, with World Cup winning setup and tuning experience, along with our state of the art workshop should any internal tuning need to be made for the best performance.

The full day clinic can be based at any location of your choice and we strongly recommend you book an uplift to make the most of the time.

We’ll cover everything from brake lever position and bar width to in depth suspension setup using our state of the art data logging equipment along with slow-mo video analysis to make sure you’re super happy with your setup. We can even look into issues such as damping fading due to heat using temperature sensors.

These day long sessions are for one rider only, to make sure you get the best from them and give you our devoted attention

We can tailor these sessions to you, so please call us to discuss your requirements and to book.

Prices start at £300/day. We can offer season long packages as well as race weekend support and pit areas.

A typical Data Logging day would involve:

Arrive at venue
Fit our Motion Instruments Professional system to your bike, discuss setup, requirements and make any obvious/immediate changes
An initial run to warm up, get data from old setup (if needed)
Runs through the day to make changes and make sure you’re happy with the setup
Video analysis when needed
Printed (and/or emailed) suspension settings, data logging read-outs and setup notes to give you pointers should you want to change settings due to weather conditions etc.
