We are pleased to announce a significant upgrade to the workshop capabilities here at Bike Tart. We have officially opened our dedicated in-house Suspension Service Centre, allowing us to offer factory-level maintenance and tuning for your forks, shocks, and dropper posts.

As part of this expansion, we have invested in the latest tooling and parts to ensure every service meets the highest standards. We are also delighted to welcome Kean formerly of DUST bikes Innsbruck and KT’s Bike Shed to the Biketart team full-time. His expertise allows us to handle everything from standard air-can services to complex damper rebuilds and custom shim stack tuning.

 

Why Suspension Servicing Matters

Mountain bike suspension is a sophisticated system designed to provide traction, safety, and control. However, the UK riding conditions - particularly the grit and mud of winter -can take a significant toll on these components.

Over time, suspension fluid degrades, and seals wear down. This leads to a loss of "plushness," reduced traction, and eventually, damage to the stanchions or internal parts. Regular servicing doesn't just restore that "factory-fresh" feel; it protects your investment and extends the lifespan of your bike.

 

Our Services

We service all major suspension brands using genuine replacement parts and high-performance fluids. You can book a suspension service as a standalone job, or have it completed alongside your regular bike maintenance.

What we offer:

• Full Fork & Shock Servicing: Comprehensive strip-downs, cleaning, and rebuilds.

• Custom Tuning: We can optimize your suspension to suit your weight, riding style, and local terrain (including shim stack adjustments).

• Seal Replacement: Essential maintenance to prevent leaks and reduce friction.

• Damper Repairs: Diagnosis and repair of internal hydraulic issues.

• Dropper Post Servicing: Rebuilds to ensure smooth actuation and reliability.

• Spring Upgrades: Swapping coil springs to match your rider weight.

 

How It Works

We have designed the process to be as convenient as possible.

1. Drop-off: Bring your bike or loose suspension components directly to our workshop.

2. Post: If you aren't local, you can mail your forks or shocks to us.

3. Full Service: Have your suspension sorted while your bike is in for a general service.

We aim for a quick turnaround to ensure you spend less time waiting and more time riding.
