Re: Do you really need to do annual suspension maintenance on every suspension brand
What if you just only did the maintenance once every 3 years? Would coil (or even the super cheapo elastomer suspension found in the $700 bikes) suspension still work and won't get destroyed? IMO, when most people buy a new bike, they just want something that is reliable and low maintenance. Taking it to the LBS and paying $250 every year doesn't sound low maintenance for me I've a rockshox Judy TK on my bike. Use it in the Caribbean and in the Netherlands quite often. Hadn't serviced it for 5 years. Decided to do a full service myself. All the seals were still in good condition. Couldn't see the difference with the new ones. I think the lowers were just low in oil; the oil spills ever so slowly through the wiper seals during usage. The uppers were impeccable. In my case refreshing the oil of the lowers and a change of the wiper seals (half an our job, no special tools, less then 20 euros) would have been enough. April 19, 2024, 01:43:10 AM |
