We are Mountain Bikers…We ride bikes…We break bikes…We fix bikes.

Ride and Repeat!

Since we ride and break so many bikes and suspension systems and them fix them, we thought it fitting to share what we have learned with the masses (by masses we mean the 3 of our friends and hopefully our customers while they are drinking coffee or instead of reading the newspaper).

Since we ride mountain bikes you may be thinking Coiler? They had to rip off an entry level Kona full sus name, or maybe the fact that some suspension uses coils, or maybe they are taking the name from the coiled, springy, hose thing they use to service suspension…either way nothing original. Well you are all WRONG! We like snakes! Rattlesnakes…specifically because they are sweet and they coil up all intimidating. HA!

OK the rant is over and the truth is…the name of our 200 Hour Service is ButteryCoils and many forks and shocks do use coils so its fitting…”Haters can hate.” Now lets get down to business, the business of mountain bike suspension and bicycle suspension service.

As The Coiler progresses and evolves we will be doing comparisons forks, shocks, air vs coil, do you get what you pay for?, service intervals, is service really needed? and so much more. We want to hear what you have to say and what you think (so comment on this post), we want to know what you want to hear about, learn about, and see (so email us with any ideas and recommendations).

Along with The Coiler Blog we will be starting a YouTube page as well. We will be showing you the basics of setting up suspension for your riding weight and style. We will be posting videos of in-depth services of forks, shocks and droppers. Some of these videos will be “How Too’s” and some will just be cool to watch. (Most damper service requires specialty tools, nitrogen and a vacuum, so a walkthrough isn’t really practical).

The bottom line is that we ride mountain bikes and service mountain bike suspension. We aren’t bloggers or web designers, but we are doing it anyway. We are fun loving thrill seekers who jones for the high of that epic switchback climb and crushing lift access trails at mach 1. Our site will have issues, our blog will be a work in progress, our YouTube channel dope, lol. This is because we are doing it while servicing suspension and fixing droppers.

We focus on what we love so you can keep riding the way your bike was meant to be ridden! The MTB Shock Lab staff.
