Suspension Services
For Riders Who Send It
Whether you’re riding Wascana Trails after work, bombing descents at Buffalo Pound, Blackstrap, Elkwater, or the Rockies—your suspension takes a beating. Our certified techs are here to keep your fork and shock running smoothly and dialed, giving you the confidence-inspiring performance you need.
At Western Cycle, we’re one of the only shops in Western Canada offering full in-house suspension service, including nitrogen recharge. Trusted by riders and other bike shops alike.
What We Do
Full Suspension Service
Every fork or shock we service gets the same top-tier attention, whether it’s a simple air can service or a full damper rebuild.
Complete Disassembly & Inspection
We strip it down, inspect every component, and clean it like it’s our own.
Seal & Wiper Replacement
We replace worn seals to stop leaks and keep everything smooth.
Fluid Flush & Refill
Fresh, high-performance suspension fluid for consistent damping and buttery feel.
Bleeding & Reassembly
All air is removed from the system for optimal performance on the trail.
Nitrogen Recharge
Your damper is recharged with dry nitrogen gas (not air) for consistent pressure, less fade, and no moisture buildup.
Ready to Roll Savings
Your best ride starts with smooth, reliable suspension — and now’s the perfect time to service it.
All in-house suspension work is 15% off until February 28th as part of our Ready to Roll promotion.

Why Nitrogen?
Plain air just doesn’t cut it. Nitrogen is:
Dry and Stable — Won’t introduce moisture into your system
Consistent Under Pressure — Doesn’t expand/contract as much with heat
Longer-Lasting — Less fluctuation = more ride time between services
Doesn’t Cause Oxidization — Keeps internal components cleaner and corrosion-free
We use the same pro-level fill kits and tanks as top race techs.
When Should You Service Your Suspension?
Think of it like your drivetrain—ignore it and it’ll wear out faster (and cost more). Regular maintenance = better performance, longer life, and fewer surprises.
General Guidelines:
Air Can Service – Every ~50 riding hours
Full Service (damper + air) – Every 100–125 hours or once a year
Ride hard or often? Trail dust, mud, and big hits mean you might need more frequent service.
Not sure what you need? Bring it in and we’ll inspect it free of charge.

FAQ
Do I need to remove my suspension before bringing it in?
No — bring the whole bike. We’ll remove and reinstall the components as part of the service.
What brands of suspension do you service?
RockShox, FOX, Marzocchi, Manitou, SR Suntour, and most serviceable models. If a unit requires factory-only repair, we’ll coordinate that for you.
How often should my suspension be serviced?
Most riders benefit from:
Fork lowers: Every 50 hours of riding
Air can service: Every 50–100 hours
Full damper service: Annually or every 125–200 hours
Can you rebuild dampers in-house?
Yes — we perform a wide range of in-house services, and the rest through trusted external service partners.
Is nitrogen filling better than standard air?
Yes. Nitrogen is dry, stable, doesn’t cause oxidization, and holds pressure more consistently under heat.
Are suspension services included in tune-ups?
Suspension work is separate from tune-up packages due to the specialized tools, oils, and time required.
