Rider-specific MTB setup · Kelvedon, Essex
A rider-specific setup session designed to improve performance, comfort and control. Choose suspension-only setup, a complete bike dial-in, or an on-trail tuning session built around how and where you actually ride.
Three levels of support
This is not a standard safety check or mechanical service. Each option is focused on rider position, component settings and how the complete bike feels and behaves.
Fork-and-shock setup as a balanced system, based on the rider, bike, terrain and current suspension specification.
A complete rider-specific setup covering suspension, cockpit, contact points and tyre pressures.
Real-world tuning with rider feedback and repeated adjustment while the bike is being ridden on suitable terrain.
All stated prices include VAT. Full-bike and on-trail work depends on the bike, rider requirements, location and session scope.
More than copying a settings chart
We work through the complete rider–bike system to create a balanced, controlled and confidence-inspiring starting point.
Sag, air pressure, rebound and compression considered across both fork and shock.
Bar position, control angles, brake-lever position and practical rider reach.
Saddle position and the key areas where the rider interacts with and controls the bike.
Tyre pressures considered alongside terrain, rider weight, casing and overall bike behaviour.
A structured tuning process
We establish the bike specification, rider goals, current problems and usual terrain.
Existing positions, pressures and adjuster settings are checked before changes are made.
Targeted changes are made in a logical order, using rider feedback rather than guesswork.
The final setup is documented to provide a reference for future tuning and servicing.
Available where the bike needs more than adjustment
Useful information
Suspension setup focuses specifically on balancing the fork and shock. A full-bike dial-in also covers cockpit position, controls, contact points, tyre pressures and the combined behaviour of the bike.
The time required depends on the suspension system, current settings, bike configuration and the issues being investigated. The £70 hourly rate covers both fork and shock.
It is quote based because location, travel, terrain, session length and the rider’s requirements all affect the scope.
Yes. New bikes, newly upgraded suspension and bikes that have never felt properly balanced are all suitable candidates.
We will identify it before tuning continues. Repair work, servicing and replacement parts are quoted separately.
Yes. The final settings are recorded so you have a useful reference for later adjustment, servicing or component changes.
