This includes running my suspension workshops with Frank Pons of Biketek on average 4-5 times a year for the last 8 years.

Is there an entrance exam and are dumb folk from the city riding over powered Huserbergs allowed to attend? When is the next workshop?

I've mentioned these in the past, and a few members have been along, or got Frank to run one at their place. Frank's CV includes everything over the years, and he currently has 3 2009 Oz roadracing titles and will likely add to this in 2010. He has enduro, MX and short circuit in the bag too in years gone by, as well as winning a few titles as a rider when he was younger.

The basic concept is to strip, service, revalve, regas and reassemble your suspension and then dial it in around the tracks adjacent to my shed, which makes it work pretty much anywhere on the east Coast, ie rocky snot. The above currently costs $350 per bike, plus any parts like springs and seals. I reckon its a bargain. Plenty of riding too. The work happens and Fridays or Saturdays and we all go for a trail ride Sunday. Swag space available.

I am currently negotiating a date in Sept with Frank for the next one. If you are interested, pm my with a direct email address and I'll give you some more info.

Hey Steve,
A big thanks for all your help with my bike suspension on the weekend. :cheers:
Also thanks for the bed and the top curry mate.
I enjoyed a beer and yarn with you, Frank, Rob and Lindsey too.
I still can't believe you have such a great trail ride in your back yard :)
Many Thanks,
Dave.
 
No worries Davo, we'll catch up again for a ride,

Had my first good ride after Frank Pons and Steve changed my rear spring and messed around with all the little funny shim things in my shock and forks. The bike was amazing to ride, it just soaked up the rocks so much eaiser, I actually passed one of my mates for the first time ever in the knarly stuff. Thanks again Steve.
I do notice it starts to just get the wobbles around 110Kph on the open dirt road. I can live with that for the luxury of being able to ride better in the knarly stuff.

Riding was real goat country with lots of hills and rocks, My mate even caught one of the goats and I brought it home for a pet for my kids:

We're doing this again on 15/16/17 April 2011 if anyone is interested. You don't have to be there for all 3 days. PM me if you want to know more.

The ADSL at the local exchange broke and Telstra's call centre in Manila said it was fine.....
 
Would recommend this to anyone. Great value and turns your bike into a whole new machine.

I have acouple of spare spots for the next session, Friday 9 Dec 2012 and maybe Sat 10, but Sat is already probably booked out. And we are riding Sunday 11 Dec too.

Any takers?

Its all happening again, this time 14/15/16 December.

If you are interested in having your bike setup by one of the great suspension tuners, PM me for more info. Plenty of riding, testing, etc and bench racing too.
