Basic Mountain Bike Air Shock Service

We rely upon our mountain bike suspension and shocks every ride to smooth out the trails and absorb the impact of jumps and drops. Basically we take it for granted, so here is how to do a basic service of your MTB air shock, and not only make them last longer, work better, but also understand how to tune them to your particular requirements.

It doesn't matter which brand of air shock you've got, the principles are the same. Performing this straightforward and easy piece of maintenance regularly will increase the longevity of your shocks and improve your mountain biking enjoyment.
There are many telltale signs that a shock requires as service. Scratches, discolouration, gunk around the seals and odd noises all indicate that you should carry out this easy service, and will allow you to inspect the shock for any further problems.
