Mountain Bike Set-up: Suspension, Tires, Cockpit

Mountain Bike Set-up: Suspension, Tires, Cockpit

Details

You got a bike now what?

This is an opportunity to learn how to approach your bike set-up. The things they don't work closely with you at the shop. This is a two hour session limited to 6 people so we can take the time to actually get you set up and not just talk about it!

Topics covered:

Brakes, shifters and bars: This is your cockpit and you want it to work for you not against you. We'll spend the time adjusting and organizing so you get the most out of your components. This will help you ride with more confidence guaranteed! Suspension setup: It's there to help but setup wrong and it can actually work against you. We'll keep it simple and to the point and by the end the mystery will be gone. You'll know how to adjust your settings and why. Tire Choice and Pressure: Tubeless explained. Factors for choosing the right tire for you. Pressure choice to build confidence and traction. The wrong pressure choice can take away most of the fun on the bike and negate the qualities you bought the tire for. Bring a multi-tool if you have one, your helmet and riding gear to test your adjustments. We will not be doing a group ride.
