This damper tune from Fluid Focus will both increase plushness and support making your fork more comfortable, less fatiguing and most impertinently faster!  This upgraded valving will also include valving the damper to your weight to make it much easier to find a happy adjuster spot.

Services We Offer!

New steerer tube installation

Measured once, cut twice?   No problem, we can install a new steerer tube!

Creaky Crown Stanchion (CSA) Repair

Have an annoying mystery creak in the front of your bike? There’s a good chance it’s from the interface between your crown and stanchion, or crown and steerer, or a combination of all 3.  We press it apart, clean out the fretting and reassemble it with a loctite press fit retaining compound that virtually eliminates creaks now and in years to come.  

Bushing Replacement

Fork lowers feel a little loose?  We can replace fork lowers bushings on common fork models.

Superior lubricants

Alberta has a tough climate, and your suspension was not designed with our temperature extremes in mind. We have Damper oils and semi bath oils that are more consistent over a wide temperature range, and more slippery than factory oils.

CSU / Crown Alignment

Find the optimal hub width for the most friction free performance!  You would be surprised what a 0.5mm difference can make!

Custom Seal Kits

We find the weak link in your suspension with upgraded seals over factory (where applicable), to make your suspension more reliable and consistent.  We source custom seals for hard to find applications from around the world and are also able to get seals custom-made.

Vacuum Bleeding

The best damper performance comes from a Vacuum bleed, Getting out almost 100% of the air from the damper gives a better, more consistent performance.

Tips and tricks!

After service grease ring

 

Factory assembly usually uses dry seals to prevent the visible oil ring on the stanchion and possible warranty complaints. But, dry wipers are a source of friction that you can feel!

So, Evolution Suspension believes wipers should have a thin layer of grease applied during a service.

Sometimes after our service you may see a small grease ring as the seal regulates how much grease will be maintained in the sealing lip. This is 100% normal. Wipe it off and after 1 to 2 rides it will stop.

DIY Service

Best thing you can do between services is keep your fork and shock seals and stanchions clean. We recommend a soft microfiber towel.
