Start with an experienced inspection.
A leaking fork, noisy shock, worn bushing or damaged wheel does not automatically reveal how extensive the repair will be. John can inspect the bicycle, explain the likely next step and determine whether the job belongs with a specialist.

Specialist services coordinated for you
Major fork and shock services are completed by trusted suspension professionals. Custom wheel building is handled by an experienced professional wheel builder. This gives customers access to specialized work without having to diagnose the problem or arrange every step alone.
John will provide the expected process and timing after inspecting the bicycle or component.
Deciding between local service and specialist work
Share the fork or shock make and model, the symptoms and any known service history. Inspection helps determine whether external cleaning, setup or installation work is appropriate, or whether the component needs specialist internal service.
For a wheel, John can check whether truing or spoke replacement is sufficient before considering a custom build. Major fork and shock services and custom wheel builds are outsourced to industry professionals; John handles coordination and the applicable removal and installation work.
