In this class, you’ll learn all about how the magical suspension actually works.  We’ll take a look inside a fork, learn the anatomy of all the parts, and explain how each of the moving pieces work together.  Our mechanics will help you set up your own suspension, both to your weight and riding style, and teach you how and when to make adjustments to all those dials. We’ll ride a few obstacles to test out different settings and explain the practice of “bracketing”, which will enable you to make micro-adjustments to your own bike on the trail.  Bring your bike and your fully-loaded pack that you usually ride with.
