We tune because we ride.
We're riders just like you. We come in on a Monday already thinking about next weekend's singletrack. That's the difference. There's no sales pitch here, and we won't make a problem sound bigger than it is just to sell you an expensive fix.
Every recommendation we make comes from 10 years of hands-on suspension work and time on the bike, not guesswork.
About 266 Suspension
266 Suspension is a suspension workshop and online parts shop in Kempton Park, run by riders for riders. We build, service, re-valve and set up suspension so your bike works for your weight, your skill and the terrain you actually ride.
The man behind it is George Wright. George has 10 years of experience in suspension fine-tuning and has been involved in motorsport racing for over thirty years. When you bring your bike to 266, you deal with George.
What we do
- Suspension servicing. Fork and shock fluid services that keep your suspension working like new. We recommend one every 20 to 30 hours of riding.
- Re-valving. After a chat about how and where you ride, we change the internal valving to give you the right balance between plushness and bottoming resistance.
- Setup and spring rates. We match your springs to your height, weight, skill and riding style, because the wrong springs cause headshake, harshness and poor cornering.
- Lowering. Proper internal lowering that brings the ground within reach without hurting handling or safety.
- Vapour blasting. A gentle wet blast that brings aluminium and magnesium parts back to a clean satin finish. The cabinet is large enough for frames, swingarms, wheels and engine cases, not only small parts.
- Fork and shock removal and refitting. Bring the whole bike in. We'll strip the suspension, do the work and put it all back, so you can just drop off and pick up.
- General bike repairs. We also handle general repairs, so your bike goes home sorted, not just the suspension.
- Parts and accessories. Our online shop stocks parts from brands like Clake, D.I.D, Galfer, Motul, Mitas, Kenda, Nitro Mousse, Tubliss, UFO, Enduro Engineering and more. Checkout is secure with Payfast or EFT.
- Authorised KYB and Showa dealer, WP and Öhlins reseller, and we service Fox, RockShox and Sachs suspension.
- Dirt bike tours. We also run guided dirt bike tours. See our Tours page.
