Mountain bike suspension

MTB Fork & Shock Servicing

Suspension servicing and diagnosis for riders around the Snowy Mountains, Jindabyne, Thredbo, Cooma and Canberra. We treat harshness, poor support, packing, fade and poor small-bump response as symptoms to diagnose—not reasons to replace parts blindly.

Workshop pricing

Simple starting prices

MTB suspension varies significantly by model and damper. These are off-bike starting prices. Final price depends on the exact fork/shock, service kit, parts availability and condition. We confirm any additional cost before work begins.

Lower-leg / Air-can Service

From A$130

Routine lubrication and seal service for supported fork lower legs or rear-shock air cans.

Full Fork Service

From A$299

Strip, inspect, fresh fluids and full service of supported fork air-spring and damping systems.

Full Rear Shock Service

From A$249

Full service of supported rear shocks, including damper service and gas recharge where required.

Fork + Shock Full Service

From A$520

Fork and rear shock supplied together, off the bike. Exact total confirmed against model and service kits.

Setup & Diagnosis

Quote first

Air pressure, sag, damping baseline and symptom-led setup for rider weight, terrain and riding style.

Complete Bike

Removal/refit quoted separately

Bring the complete bike if you do not want to remove the fork or shock yourself.

Diagnose before changing parts

What we look for

Harshness can come from excessive damping, insufficient damping, friction, pressure, setup or component condition. A fork that dives, a shock that packs or a bike that feels dead over repeated hits needs the cause identified before money is spent.

Diagnose. Engineer. Tune. Teach.

Harsh / poor small-bump response

Check pressure, damping, friction, seals, bushings and service condition.

Diving / blowing through travel

Check air-spring support, volume, compression control and rider setup.

Packing / loss of grip

Check rebound recovery, heat, pressure and shock condition.

Before you book

Send the exact suspension details

MTB suspension parts are model-specific. Send the bike year/model plus the fork and shock model, serial number or tune ID where available. We will confirm that the unit is supported, the service level, parts availability and final price before you bring or send it in.
