Best suspension servicing in Joburg


Recommended Posts

You can try Cogent Industries if Faerie Glen is not too far for you.    I have met the guys there and they are awesome and know their stuff.

Cogent for sure. But if you just need a lower or air can service, hit up YouTube and DIY it

I ride a Scott spark 700 ultimate I weigh 100kg what should the PSI be for the front and rear shocks ?

 

The rule of thumb :

 

REAR : 2x your weight, thus 200psi

 

Front : 1x your weight, thus 100psi

 

 

this is a good starting point.

 

 

Now check the "sag" when you are on the bike ...

 

 

Next, check how much of the shock travel you use on the trails ...  I aim for 80 to 90% travel on a hard/bumpy ride.

 

 

On my current bike I am now at 2x at the rear, and slightly less than 1x on the front .... 

 

On my Scott I was a bit more than 2x at the rear and also a bit more than 1x on the front.
