Bootlegger Bikes Jeffersonville

Mountain bike suspension has gotten really, really good — and also pretty dang expensive — but its full value can only be realized with proper setup and calibration. And we’ll be honest: we see a lot more bad suspension setups than we would like! With a few adjustments and better understanding of your suspension, your bike could have better traction, be more comfortable, feel more composed, and go faster. We’ll walk you through what all those knobs do, when you should turn ‘em, when you shouldn’t, and how to keep your suspension doing its job.

This workshop is free to attend and suitable for all but will best suit mountain bikers.
