Full suspension mountain bikes use bearings in the pivots of the frame, these bearings get stiff, gritty and develop play over time. Bad bearings can inhibit your rear suspension from working properly, cause rattling or unnecessary play or even damage to your frame and pivot axles. Not sure if you need them doing, swing by and we’ll take a look!

• Pivot Bearings Labour £100 + Bearings

E-bikes are a large part of the mountain bike industry now, and we’ve got a vast amount of experience on working on all the most popular motor systems. Our technicians are highly skilled in electrical diagnosis and sorting any issues, getting you back out on your E-bike as soon as possible.

Each E-Bike is different, so it’s worth getting in touch with us to discuss any issues you’re having, as we may be able to save you a journey and keep you out riding.

The Ace Team have years of experience working with suspension, from setup to servicing we can help you get the most out of your equipment. We offer lower leg and air-can cleans in house which we recommend doing every 3-6 months to keep your suspension running smooth and avoiding any premature wear. For any full strip-down servicing we use numerous third party companies that specialise in suspension servicing, offering professional workshop, parts and service warranties. Please get in touch with us to discuss our recommendations for your suspension.

We also offer a suspension setup service, where we spend half an hour or so going through your setup, giving you a really good base-tune to work from and get dialled in. Each rider is different, so a solid starting point is needed, we’ll then work with you to make any future adjustments to get your bike feeling sweet.

The Ace team believe every new bike should be fitted with a form of film protection on the frame, to protect from bumps, scrapes and the wear and tear of riding. The film protects the paint from scrapes, scratches and general abrasion from everyday riding or uplift days. Both Invisiframe and Ride Wrap scan bike frames to create custom kits that fit most combination of frames, sizes and finishes, almost covering the entire frame to offer the most complete protection. They also offer generic kits that cover just the high-traffic areas if you’re frame hasn’t been scanned.

If you’re bike has been ridden, but you’d still like it protecting, we are happy to fit the kits but do expect imperfections where dirt or frame damage has got under the tape, the newer and cleaner the bike  the better!

Fitting these kits takes a considerable amount of time and practice, each frame may take different amounts of time to have them fitted due to intricate shapes or number of pieces. Please get in touch with us to get a more accurate quote on your bike.
