For Full-Suspension Mountain Bikes (Linkage Overhaul Only)

Your full-suspension rig took a beating this season. The North Shore doesn't forgive sloppy maintenance, and neither does your linkage. This package is for riders who want a complete linkage overhaul and full bike service — but don't need suspension fork/shock servicing right now.

What's Included:

Complete Linkage Overhaul ($576 value) This is our full 4-5 hour tear-down of your frame, linkage, and all moving parts:

  • Full drivetrain removal and deep clean — chain, cassette, chainrings, derailleurs detailed until perfect
  • Linkage bearing inspection and service — every pivot gets pulled, cleaned, inspected, and re-greased or replaced
  • Brake bleeds — both calipers, fresh fluid, dialed lever feel
  • Hub service — front and rear hubs cleaned, inspected, re-greased, adjusted
  • Bottom bracket service — removed, cleaned, inspected, re-greased or replaced if worn
  • Headset service — bearings cleaned, inspected, re-greased, properly adjusted
  • All cables and housing — replaced or serviced as needed
  • Full bolt check and torque — every single bolt checked and torqued to spec
  • Wheel true and tension — both wheels trued and spoke tension equalized
  • Tubeless sealant refresh — fresh sealant in both tires for reliable spring riding

Secure Indoor Storage (Dec 01 - Mar 20) Your bike lives inside our shop for up to 3.5 months. Stays dry, stays safe, doesn't take up space in your gear room.

Post-Winter Tune Before Pickup Final safety check, tune, and test before you pick up.

10% Off All Parts & Components Pivot bearings, brake pads, cables, chains, cassettes — all parts needed during service are discounted 10%.


Who This Package Is For:

You ride a full-suspension bike. Your linkage has seen some things. Maybe your pivots creak, or your rear suspension doesn't feel as plush as it used to. You want a complete frame overhaul, but your fork and shock are still performing fine — or you're planning to service them separately, or you just serviced them recently.

This is the mid-tier package: complete bike and linkage service, but no suspension tear-down.


What About Suspension?

This package does NOT include fork or shock service. If you need that too, check out our Deluxe Squish Package which includes everything here PLUS professional suspension service by Suspension Werx or Fluid Function.

What's NOT Included:

Parts and suspension service are extra. This package covers linkage overhaul labour — all the time and expertise to completely service your frame and drivetrain. But consumable parts (pivot bearings, brake pads, cables, chain, cassette, etc.) vary by bike.

We assess during intake and keep you informed. No surprises.
