Was a little anxious, my e-mtb fork and shock haven't been looked at in almost a year. Dropped the bike in at Sprung Suspension last Friday after a ride and collected it this morning. The technician had noted that the components showed almost no wear because the bike had been so well maintained. He could not believe it has been ridden once or twice a week through the past 12 months, especially through this wet mucky winter and spring. It makes my efforts to clean the bike after each ride feel worthwhile.
Also keeping it cleaned and maintained has kept the chain well below .5% wear in the same period.
Turns out Jake the technician at Sprung was involved in the development of the Shokwiz. His view is that it is great to get suspension 75-85% dialled in. He does do suspension consultations for pro riders etc or clients at quite a cost. But it's clear I cant ride in a repeatable fashion well enough to make that final accuracy in setup worthwhile, so I will keep using the shokwiz to give me guidance in my bike set up as it's more than good enough for my level or riding.
