Hydraulic brake bleeding
Hydraulic brake systems offer amazing performance benefits for all types of cycling, with increased power, modulation and longer service intervals than many rim brakes.
If your hydraulic brakes are feeling a little sponger, are squeeling during use or are lacking powerm, it could be time to have them serviced.
Our experienced mechanics are here to get your hydraulic brakes feeling factory fresh again.
We stock the speciality tools, fluids and spares for most common brands, as well as a comprehensive range of disc brake pads for new and older models of brakes.

Post Service Suspension Setup Procedure
After your service you will need to correctly inflate your suspension fork or shock and reset your rebound and compression settings.
It is common for suspension settings to change after a service to reflect the improved performance of your suspension component, so we recommend carrying out the following set up procedure after you have received your fork or shock back from servicing.
For Air Shocks:
- Refit your shock to the frame & attach your shock pump.
- Add 50 psi to the shock and then cycle the rear shock a few times by pushing down on the saddle to compress the shock.
- Repeat this process in 50 psi increments until you have reached your desired pressure. You may need to use your body weight to cycle the shock as the air pressure increases.
- Confirm correct air pressure by measuring sag.
- Adjust rebound and compression settings to your preference.
For Suspension Forks:
- Refit your fork to your bicycle and attach your shock pump.
- Add 20 psi to your fork and then cycle the shock by pushing down on the handlebars and then take your weight off the bars, letting the fork return to full travel. Repeat this 2-3 times.
- Repeat this process in 20 psi increments until you have reached the desired pressure.
- Confirm correct air pressure by measuring sag.
- Adjust rebound and compression adjusters to your preferred settings.
How To Measure SAG
Sag is the portion of your suspension travel that is used by the rider's body weight. Ensuring that you have the correct sag is the first step to ensuring your suspension shock or fork will perform correctly.
Sag is typically measured as a percentage of the overall suspension travel. For example if 40mm of suspension travel is used when the rider stands on the bike and the bike has 120mm of suspension travel, the Sag measurement is 30%.
Important Notes:
Too much Sag: Can cause the bike to use too much travel too quickly and can make the bike feel vague, bouncy and sluggish when pedalling and can cause harsh bottoming out under large compressions and even damage to the frame or suspension components.
Too little Sag: Can make the bike feel overly stiff, unforgiving and harsh over bumps and compression. Running your suspension too hard can also compromise on grip and prevent you from utilising all of your bike's suspension travel.
Recommended SAG Values:
- Suspension Forks: 15-25%
- Rear Shocks: 23-33%
Instructions:
- When off the bike, push the o-ring all the way to the seal. (If your fork or shock does not have an o-ring you can use a ziptie for set up)**.
- Gently step onto your bike and move into the standard neutral riding position, standing out of the saddle with your centre of mass over the center of the bike.
- Step off the bike gently doing your best not to compress the suspension further.
- Measure the amount of suspension used by measuring with a callipers, ruler or measuring tape from the seal to the o-ring.
- Calculate SAG by dividing the amount of travel used by the total shock or fork stroke. (Example: if you measure 20mm from the seal to the o-ring and you have a 60mm stroke shock. 20mm/60mm = 0.333 or SAG = 33%)
