Do you think mountain bike suspension setup is a dark art that requires guesswork and luck? SussMyBike was formed to smash this problem and increase the fun and flow on your ride.
Overview
Alan mason, founder of SussMyBike discovered his idea from his own experiences as a mountain biker. With 20 years of riding and thousands of pounds spent on equipment Alan had a nagging doubt about whether he was getting the most out of his bikes and always felt that the suspension might not be working as well as it could. Recommended settings provide a starting point on a static bike but they don’t factor in riding style or the type of trail. Alan knew that if he could measure the performance on the trail he could ride in peace knowing that his performance wasn’t being held back by poor tuning.

Case Study Highlights
Alan mason, founder of SussMyBike discovered his idea from his own experiences as a mountain biker. With 20 years of riding and thousands of pounds spent on equipment Alan had a nagging doubt about whether he was getting the most out of his bikes and always felt that the suspension might not be working as well as it could. Recommended settings provide a starting point on a static bike but they don’t factor in riding style or the type of trail. Alan knew that if he could measure the performance on the trail he could ride in peace knowing that his performance wasn’t being held back by poor tuning.
The solution was to build a small data logger that measured what my suspension was doing on my ride. This allowed me to see precisely how the suspension had been performing dynamically on the trail. By analysing the data Alan was able to understand and see how his riding and trail style impacted the setup. With this knowledge Alan was able to tune the sag, compression and rebound to fit his style perfectly allowing him to finally ride in peace knowing he’s getting the most from my bike.
