Suspension can seem like one of the most mysterious things to set up on a mountain bike. With words like "SAG", "compression adjustment", "rebound rate" and "leverage ratios", it can be a lot to process, whether you're just picking up your first mountain bike or you've been riding for years. Let us help break things down for you!
This is intended to be a guide for understanding how suspension works along with adjusted to suit you, and it is not uncommon for you to stray from the recommended guidelines a bit depending on your riding style, terrain, and what feel you are looking for out of the bike.
Lubing your chain is one of the most important things you can do regularly for your bike, alongside checking your tire pressure. Follow our mechanic Adam along as he describes the step to lube your chain!
