Suspension work

I'm looking at getting my suspension done (cross country riding only, no mx). Can anybody recommend a place in Calgary that they've had experience with? How about RMR?

Thanks,

Chuck

I have used Chris at Pro-Action suspension 685-9400 a number of times. I'm always happy with his work and I'm kind of particular.

thanks db. Any rough idea what it will cost me to have forks and shock done? ballpark figure

Don't quote me but I think revalving, cleaning, oil change, and new oil for forks is $250 and shock is $200 including Nitrogen recharge. You should call Chris to confirm and let him tell you about his guarantee.

His valving is from www.pro-action.com and he has some added local tricks for XC valving because the XC valving from most suspension manufacturers is based on Eastern USA and our XC terrain is a little different. (Still need soft initial damping but need more bottoming resistance)

I'm trying to decide if I want to lower my bike when I get my revalving done. I'm short for the tall WR250F and am thinking about lowering it 1.5".

Any comments or suggestions?

Is this guy hard to get a hold of at pro-action? I've left 2 messages this past week and haven't heard back from him

I used RMR for my forks and I really liked the results. Rod and the guys know their stuff too.

For my forks I just removed the mid-valve. It wasnt that hard but you need to know what to remove. It really helped the forks now they are nice and flush all the way through the stroke before there was a hit in the middle that is more suited to the motocross track not off road.

The rear shock has been pretty good. I just changed oil and recharged it and now it seems to works alot better.

MtnBlue,

I take it that Chris called you back. He does go out to race events to support the racers and sometimes races too. He also has riding schools, so he is a busy guy.

Yep, he was at the National this past weekend

You could also call Dave French at A&E in Brooks, he is the s**t for KTM's.

Hmmm. I think about doing that since lots of guys are good with the jap bikes but they can wreak havoc on a KTM. Do you have his number?

Chris at Pro Action does an excellent job on either KTM or Yam, however, Enzo is specifically designed for Yamahas, but I'm not sure about his xc experience....yeah, call Chris.
Proper springs front and back is the first step to a balanced setup.....otherwise your valves can't do there job.
