Suspension set up

Post by Dan Bruck »

:-bd

Had my suspensions on the Blade 14 set by Simon today.
As this was my first big bike I just got used to the way it came and thought it was amazing.
Having it set today, just the ride home was already enough to show such a difference in handling and feel. The bike just rides better, feels super balanced and is almost intuitive, knowing where I want to go and going there effortles.

I super reccommend getting this done!
Thanks Si. 🤘🤘🤘

How? Who's Si?
The test of the machine is the satisfaction it gives you. There isn't any other test. If the machine produces tranquillity it's right. If it disturbs you it's wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed.

Having taken my previous bikes to Si (aka Billinom8s) can personally vouch for the suspension set up skills as well as the expert use of all things spanner related.

I am soon to be having a track bike heading in my direction and i think the suspension will be the 1st thing that gets a look at.

Apologies for the delay in replying, but had my Suspension Set Up by Simon I got to admit I was very sceptical about the whole thing being new to riding but holy eff what a difference!! Just need to practice my right hand turns now.

If anyone’s thinking about getting their suspension looked at… Don’t think about it give Simon a shout!

Not only did he help me with my suspension I had an FI light come on on my bike a couple of days before the setup day,and he helped me investigate that… What a guy!
