\nShocks: You can give\/ send the mounting material with your shock, so we can see if there\u2018s play in the bushings or bolts.
\nForks: First you have to dismount the brake and then the fork. Remote and brake adaptor you may leave on the fork.
\nDropper post: When the cables are lead within the frame (e.g. RockShox Reverb Stealth) you only send the post. The hose remote has to be bled when mountin the post back into the bike.

\nride is quite normal. After your ride just wipe it off. Your service partner will put all the adjustments back in the same positions as
\nwas. The damping performance will be improved, so it may be that you have to adapt your adjustments. Hint: Never attempt to
\nmove the shock if there's no pressure in the piggyback.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What can I do to look after my suspension?” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” open=”on”]You can help your suspension having a long life by cleaning it after each ride. Use a cloth, and if you like a little cleaning product.
\nNever use a pressure washer or a strong garden hose directly on the shocks. It’s not possible to lube the fork from the outside
\nwithout trapping dirt inside the casting. It\u2019s best not to do it.

But the only way to find this out is by testing your suspension after a service. A general tuning is not possible. If you’re unhappy with the bump performance of your fork, a full service and slight modifications (e.g. changing the oil viscosity) should help. There is a definite limit to the improvements that can be made when single part\/stock seals are used. Sentinel Fork Seals will help. Regarding shocks frame kinetics, setup and riding style all play an important role. When you\u2019re unhappy, our recommendation is to first undergo a full service, as it could be the nitrogen in the oil which kills the damping performance of your shock. It is only after a full service that you can be sure of the problem and we can recommend you other modifications to be made.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How do I find the right setup for my fork and shock?” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” open=”off”]It’s not easy to find the right setup but the time you invest will be well worth it. Suspension performance depends on frame geometry, riding style and other factors. Take a paper, pen and shock pump on your next ride and try out different setups. Setups are all about preference, so do your own.
