Steep gravel tracks uphill, blocked trails and rough slopes downhill. The suspension does the hardest work on a mountain bike. Don't make any compromises and get the most out of your suspension. To ensure the long-lasting function of these sensitive components, they need to be serviced regularly. We will show you the most important steps.
In this chassis special for download you will find the following topics:
Adjusting the suspension fork
The soul of the suspension is the fork: a perfectly adjusted suspension fork promises more comfort and higher speed on the trail.
Maintain suspension fork
You should treat your suspension fork to a "little service" at least once a year. It will definitely thank you for it.
Adjusting the damper
The most modern rear shock is only of any use to you if it is set up correctly. Only then can it realise its full potential.
Maintain dampers
The centrepiece of the suspension: The shock should be taken to the dealer for a major inspection, but you can carry out a minor service on the suspension strut yourself.
Screwdriver special: the other parts of the workshop series
The suspension adjustment is part of a three-part workshop special from BIKE. You can find the other two specials in our workshop series here.
