Measure
Rider sag, static sag, fork height, tyre pressures and current clicker settings.
The flagship service
Suspension Diagnosis & Setup Saturdays
A low-cost, professional first step for riders who know the bike is wrong but do not yet know why.
Diagnose
Harshness, kicking, diving, deflection, poor grip, bottoming, headshake and balance problems.
Report
Leave with a written Suspension Health Report and prioritised recommendations—Immediate, Next Service, Optional or Monitor.
What riders actually ask us
Tell us what the bike is doing
Riders do not wake up wanting a fork service. They want the front to stop deflecting, the rear to stop kicking and the bike to hold a line.
Harsh or deflecting?
We separate spring, damping, friction, geometry, tyre and maintenance causes before spending your money.
Kicking or packing?
We look at rebound balance, spring suitability, shock condition, ride height and traction—not just one clicker.
Diving or bottoming?
We diagnose support through the full system: spring rate, preload, damping, oil height, chassis attitude and rider use.
Why Mountain Race Shop
Expertise instead of volume
