    Suspension seminar series this winter.

    Many people have expressed an interest in learning more about how bike suspension works and how to do some of their own suspension work. I will be running some of my suspension seminars this fall/winter to cater for those interested in suspension setup, adjustment and maintenance.

    The first seminar is scheduled for October 9th at GMD Boston shop in Bellingham Mass. This will be a basic introduction to suspension and how it works with regards to bike handling and behavior.

    The cost of this seminar is $75. The seminar will run from 09:00 until about 3PM or so and beakfast and lunch is included in the price.

    All attendees will also receive a voucher worth $50 off any suspension work or parts from GMD boston.

    Please indicate here if you are interested in attending.

    Peter

    Definitely interested.

    Pete, thanks again for tuning the suspension on my 1000RR. It rides like an entirely new bike now and is 1000% more fun to ride.

    Is this a "hands-on" seminar, should we bring a bike?

    Suspension seminar series this winter.

    I guess we are all trying to figure out what type of class is this. I am looking for personaly attention with a small group that is hands on. I can go on the internet and read a manual or watch a video but nothing is better then 1 on 1 hands on training. If it is a small class like that then I do not mind paying good money for something I will keep for the rest of my life. If it is going to be a power point or you standing in front of 100 people giving the general overview then that is not what I am looking for.

    Suspension seminar series this winter.

    http://www.computrackboston.com/seminars.htm

    This seminar will cover all the basics of chassis and suspension dynamics. Everything from chassis measurement, alignment, suspension theory, springs and damping theory, data aquisision, coatings and polishing and more. You will have a complete over view of how chassis and suspensions work together and how the component parts work. We will explain not just how to set the clickers, but how the forks and shock work and why and how changes are made. Later in the Winter we will have more advanced classes and even a hands on shop class, but you will need to have completed this basic class first. Send me an email tp peter@computrackboston.com to sign up.
