'Pro Tuned' suspension service.


Out of the box, suspension forks and shocks can range from very good performance to barely adaquate. It's not uncommon to dissassemble some makes of brand new forks and find there is little or no lubrication in some parts of it, even ones costing $2000.00, making the life of the fork very short and performance nowhere to be found. The suspension fluids and lubes used by the majority of suspension manufactures can be of questionable quality or the volume of oil in the damper units is less than needed for proper performance.
Black Peak Cycles 'Pro Tuned' suspension service is similar to the 'Pro Build' complete bike building service, where in the fork or shock gets completely disassembled, all parts inspected and replace if needed, then rebuilt piece by piece using the highest quality lubricants that I have personally tested in various parts of the world, from the bike park in Whistler to the mountain ranges around Wanaka.
You can except a dramatic increase in sensitivity to terrain changes, the ability to ride faster over rough terrain and generally more control and much more fun, which at the end of the day, is the reason for having suspension in the first place.
