Fox CTD not Working?

Fox CTD not working? It may be fine!

We get a lot of people through the door complaining that their brand new Fox shock, or more specifically the CTD function on it is not working, though in some cases it’s doing exactly what it is supposed to.Continue reading→

You have spent a small fortune on your bike, insurance, car/fuel to get to the trail so naturally you want your bike to perform at it’s very best and a big chunk of that means having your suspenders set up just right. If you aren’t confident in setting up your suspension it may be that you don’t need suspension tuning, just some help with setup.

Measuring Bicycle Chain Wear

Measuring bicycle chain wear

Some people aren’t really into DIY bike repair and that’s fine. I completely get why, my days of rolling around under vans and cars are over. But even if you’d rather hand your bike over to someone else for fettling there is one maintenance check that you cannot overlook – measuring bicycle chain wear.Continue reading→

Rockshox have produced some very good video guides so there is no point trying to produce another, however if you want to try servicing it yourself please read on before you begin. We may save you some money or at least some frustration.Continue reading→

Took my fox 40s in for a needed service, and with damage from previous owners. Got my forks back within a few days and my forks look and feel like new again!!! Great workmanship and customer service. Will be going again to get my rear sus done. �

Great service from bounce! Bike went in for forks/rear shock service, Plus some other bits and bobs. Bike is like new again and the rear shock feels better than when I bought the bike originally! Over all very pleased with the work done.

Can’t relate to you how good these guys are. They’ve done an excellent job bringing my Fox Talus and rear shock back from the brink. Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly service. Can highly recommend and will definitely use again. Cheers.

Outstanding service from Bounce Cycles - highly recommend you use them for servicing your cycles & shocks. Fast, efficient, professional service & will be using them again for sure. Always kept up to date on progress of what was needed to be done & arranged fast courier service back to us so that my husband could get back out on his bike. 5 star rating from us ��

By far the best customer service I’ve had from any bike shop, frank explained everything I need to know about my suspension and took the time to properly set it up for me and it has made a huge difference, definitely worth the travel and will be going back.

Sent in my 5 year old Fox 32 forks for a LONG overdue service... I had a go at servicing the lowers myself, but it never felt right! If I didn’t know better I’d say the forks returned from bounce we’re a brand new set! Couldn’t recommend enough!

I'm very satisfied with the bike service in Bounce Cycles. The price is affordable for me. People are friendly and kind to customers. They are willing to explain more about the problems of my bike. They also provide good bike service in order to ensure the safety of my bike. I must recommend my friends to Bounce Cycles in the future.

Great service from some very knowledgable guys. I get my (and my wife) road and MTB bikes serviced here and the results have always been brilliant. My MTB came out looking and feeling better than it has since I bought it.

The guys at Bounce came very highly recommended and I can see why! Was weary taking my bike anywhere after a previous bad experience with a different bike shop. Kept in the loop from the start about the work needed and given options of what I wanted to fix and how all at a very fair price. Even gave advise about other things when went to pick my bike up which was very much appreciated as I usually like to attempt my own work. Definately be saving myself some time though and taking all of my bikes here in the future. Sound guys too 🖒

LEGENDS ! I was doing a charity cycle ride surrey to Glasgow (443 miles ) to raise money for shelter whilst 180 miles up north my brakes had worn completely out worrying about how i was going to do another 263 miles going up and down big hills without them. i found these guys on online and im so glad i did ! Whilst in the shop i explained what i was doing and they were more than happy to help. Even gave me some gifts and a map for my journey . And were so nice to stand near me as i previously been sleeping in a tent without having a wash in days. These are the guys you want to be going to for your bike !!!!

Took my bike in for a full service, suspension tuning and service front and rear. Bounce were very helpful , knowledgeable and assiduous. A blast around Gisburn Forest after pick up confirmed the difference made. Thanks Bounce!

Had an oil leak issue with my Fox RP23 shock, after reading some reviews for Bounce & with recommendations off friends gave them a ring & spoke with Frank. Upshot was that I dropped my shock off the following day & Frank explained the costs & that he would keep me informed of the progress. This he duly did & a few days later got the call to say that it was ready. The shock must have been gradually losing oil & therefore its damping/performance over quite a few rides previously. Now repaired & refitted to the bike, it's like night & day, like having a new bike! Top service, full marks! I'll certainly spread the word & recommend you to friends in the future.

Another quality service from Bounce completing the initial requested work, as well as a free inspection of the bike to let me know of other issues which may need addressing in the near future. Quick turnaround ready for the weekend, highly recommend

This place is absolutely spot on, the lads who work there are very honest, highly skilled and incredibly knowledgable. I honestly wouldn’t bother getting your bike serviced anywhere else other than Bounce. Amazing service, thank god they’re only just up the road from me!

Dropped in to see about getting my brakes serviced. The staff member was extremely helpful, went out of his way to give me good advice and did himself out of some immediate business by being so honest about the other problems with my bike! I've ridden alot over the years but felt like an absolute newbie as he was so knowledgeable! Will very happily go back there and hand over money in the future. Thanks!

I've had the pleasure of two shock services at Bounce in Preston now, and wholeheartedly endorse the dudes there and their workmanship. Took a chance on getting in touch the first time from a local google search and the feedback and testimonials swung it for me. I wasn't disappointed on the phone, via email or finally in person either, hugely professional outfit and very likeable customer approach They truly know their business and both my front and rear suspension units genuinely came back better than new. One massively important aspect is the communication and feedback about the state of the repair or service required at all stages, honest assessments are given and you feel there's no playing on the customers ignorance to make a few extra £££. I cannot recommend their services highly enough. By way of illustrating their attention to detail, on the rear shock I had measured the spring compression to note down the pre-load feel I like prior to servicing... when i checked it before mounting back on the bike the pre-load was exactly TO THE MM where I had left it. Thought that was a great example of the accuracy they work to. So glad to have them on the door step but I wouldn't hesitate to cross the NW to get any bike trouble looked at. You'll be in safe hands.
