Stoke Suspension

Recommended Posts

Just had my fork and shock serviced by Andrew at Stoke Suspension in Saltriver. The yearly full rebuilt. 

 

It has to be said: Great client service. It took as long as he said it would, it cost as much as he said it would, and the fork and shock are now working better and smoother than ever before.

Highly recommended.

Dampers are the unique selling point of the off road bicycle. Best to make sure they are running at their optimum. Hence: go to a specialist, like Stoke.

 

I get what you are saying, but that reads like a quote from a 1993 bike mag on the "Rise of Suspension Forks - Is Rigid Dead?".

Some say that he has the worlds largest collection of kudu eggsand that in his final thesis at Wits University...he proved that Homo Naledi...rode a 29er. All I know is he fixes my bikes

What kind of 29er did Naledi ride?

Pity he is so far....

 

Lowers....ag I sommer do in the halftime break of the springbok game, captain and coke in the one hand, camel light in the other(true story)....moering tool, 5W oil and hex key is all that is needed.

 

Dampers...aikona pappie, I will run out of talent very quickly here...will only trust selected people to touch the stock damper.

It's worth shipping them to Droo.... he redid my forks mid Epic.... after a bunch of mud... and did my partners rear shock 3 days before J2C - Ex Jhb... (ok - this was his own fault... )

I agree. Send it. I have never been happy with the feel of the RP23 on my one bike. Had it "serviced" last year at a lbs in the Woes Rand and it still felt the same afterwards. Andrew opened it up and discovered that the Boost Valve was no longer working. A total rebuild and Bobs your strange uncle in a frilly pink dress...

Andrew serviced/rebuild my "proprietary" rear shock (which Omnico tried to service and stuffed up) in,  it was 3-hours I think, while I was drinking beers at the Waterfront. 

That afternoon I was back at Jonkershoek.

Yip, have to agree. Good, honest service. He once saved my Thomson stem after I buggered up the bolts. Was a walk in job which took longer than anticipated but he did while I waited.

Post it pel... Andrew helped me out a while back with my pogo Fox RP. My bike rides better now than when I bought it new! A true gentleman.
