Episode #015 - Suspension and how to make it work w/ Chris Hockey

I'm a self-confessed suspension obsessive. I recognised my issue
a few years back and have since learnt to ride around the problem
but I'm a fettler at heart. I like understanding it and I like
making my bike handle as best as it can.


However, when it comes diving inside suspension, I'm no more
clued up that the next person. Like most complex skills with
layers to understand, suspension takes years of dedication and
skill to develop an understanding of. The dozens of variables are
overwhelming.


Chris Hockey is one of those expert level suspension tuners. He's
rare. With skill on the tools and skill on the bike, Chris has
created a unique position where he can feel what the bike is
doing and understand how that translates into the suspension.
Over the years I've ridden dozens of his bikes and it has
consistently impressed me that he he take something so mediocre
and make it work so damn well.
