Biketart Suspension Service Centre – Now Open

We are excited to announce a major upgrade to our workshop! Our dedicated in-house Suspension Service Centre is now open, offering factory-level maintenance and tuning for forks, shocks, and dropper posts.

As part of this expansion:

  • We’ve invested in the latest tools and genuine parts to ensure every service meets the highest standards.

  • We’re delighted to welcome Kean, formerly of DUST Bikes Innsbruck and KT’s Bike Shed, to the team full-time. His expertise covers everything from standard air-can services to complex damper rebuilds and custom shim stack tuning.


Why Suspension Servicing Matters

Mountain bike suspension is a sophisticated system designed for traction, safety, and control. UK riding conditions—especially winter grit and mud—can take a toll over time.

  • Suspension fluid degrades, and seals wear down, leading to a loss of plushness, reduced traction, and potential damage to stanchions or internal parts.

  • Regular servicing restores the factory feel, protects your investment, and extends the life of your bike.


Our Suspension Services

We service all major suspension brands using genuine parts and high-performance fluids. Services can be booked standalone or alongside a general bike service.

What we offer:

  • Full Fork & Shock Servicing – Comprehensive strip-down, cleaning, and rebuild.

  • Custom Tuning – Optimise suspension for your weight, riding style, and terrain (including shim stack adjustments).

  • Seal Replacement – Prevent leaks and reduce friction.

  • Damper Repairs – Diagnose and repair internal hydraulic issues.

  • Dropper Post Servicing – Ensure smooth actuation and reliability.

  • Spring Upgrades – Swap coil springs to match rider weight.


How It Works

We’ve designed the process to be convenient:

  • Drop-off: Bring your bike or suspension components to our workshop.

  • Post: Mail forks or shocks if you’re not local.

  • Full Service: Combine suspension servicing with a general bike service for maximum efficiency.

We aim for a quick turnaround so you spend less time waiting and more time riding.

This is a perfect opportunity to get your bike dialled in during the winter downtime. We look forward to getting your suspension running smoother than ever!
