Suspension guys in Sydney

Tue Oct 13, 2015 2:02 pm

I am looking at sorting out my forks ( after getting a service done at a popular suspension guy )

Are there any around Sydney that you guys would recommend?

Shaun at SOS Penrith, or Terry Hay at Shock Treatment

Thanks Rob, The issue is I took the 7 to Terry for a leaking fork seal and the forks have been a problem ever since...even after going back 3 times. :x
I will give Shaun a call and have a chat.

Glen used Shaun for his Gumby I think? Whoever he used he was a massive suspension geek :lol:

GASD or Race Dynamics. Both great guys. Both great work.

Yeah Sean at SOS was really good with the Gumby. Not cheap and not quick but very thorough.

Everyone has opinions on suspension guys though. I'm looking for someone for the MT09 as well.

Yeah Joe Ive used Glenn on two bikes now. Super helpful and great price! He took over Mupo recently and has started thinking about life after racing. Hence he is chasing work and knows word of mouth is the best reference. Plus the trophies tell me he has an idea too :kuda:

Al Samuels at Race Dynamics is great too but hard to get a hold of.

Either way I dont think you could go wrong.

+1 to this. We have used both Glenn and Al extensively. Al is a bit harder to book into since he is overseas so much this year, but both know their stuff and do great work. You can't go wrong with either of them.

Mupo do MT09 kits as well 8) Think I might be calling Glenn (and not just because he has a cool first name)

But it's no Dave or Mick ;)

Glenn also used to work a lot at Shock Treatment from memory (it was so long ago) so knows his stuff

Well.... interesting story. When Chris was doing Baulkham Hills Mini Bike club at about 12 yo we did a Gallys school at Dargal and Terry did a session on suspension, offering to do work on the kids bikes. We took Chrisso's CR85 out to get it set up and there was a young Glenn Allerton working for Terry. Took Chris out on the track and run around with him while Terry watched what the suspension was doing.
