Dunbar Cycles launches Suspension Center!
Since 2008 Dunbar Cycles has been expanding its involvement in the Canadian race scene, and it's now time to take all our race and suspension knowledge to the next step. 2011 marks the opening of the Dunbar Cycles' Suspension Center, and we are launching it with a one time offer, free service on all suspension work for the month of November!

With the greatest racer presence of any shop on the BC Cup circuit, Dunbar Cycles has been putting in some serious R&D time into the inner workings of suspension. Following a very successful season, in which the team has claimed both the Regional and National Downhill titles, we are proud to announce the opening of the in-house Dunbar Suspension Center!
What does this mean for you as a rider? This in-house suspension center means mountain bikers from all over the greater Vancouver area, and within the lower mainland will have the ability to not only get their suspension serviced at a convenient location, but will have the ability to request tuning advice, and even custom tuning for serious racers, all at an affordable price. At this stage our capabilities lay predominantly with Fox and RockShox products, but can provide basic services on other brands subject to the availability of parts.
What about pricing? We understand that coming into December, as well as the down season for many mountain bikers money is not as free flowing as it typically is mid summer. So, for the month of November, we are going to be offering any suspension service on Fox or RockShox suspension, whether it be a simple overhaul or full custom tuning, all labour will be on the house! This means the only charges you will see on your invoice will be for oil and parts.
So instead of letting your high end suspension sit around all winter to wallow in a full season's worth of grit and grime bring it into Dunbar Cycles and receive a once in a lifetime ridiculous deal! This offer will only be available for the month of November, so now's the time to take advantage of it! Servicing times will be subject to availability of parts and turn around time will vary on workload, but you can expect about 72 hours down time. One minor request we would like to make is - please bring your bike in clean.

After hard day in the bike park, and on local trails, getting your suspension serviced is a great idea, not only for longevity, but for performance sake too!
Outside of the area and don't want to make the drive? You're more than welcome to ship in your suspension in to get it worked on. To figure out the shipping information and suggestions give us a call at the shop - 1-877-304-1480 or 604-224-2116, or drop us an email at sales@dunbarcycles.com.

opens up new possibilities is Len wrenching ?
I'm not talking performance or anything here I'm talking how well they are constructed/quality of parts/materials used etc.
As for Dunbar picking them up, well that's their choice and I wish no ill to become of it as they are a top notch shop regardless.
Tis a shame I can completely overhaul my poor old boxxers, top and bottom, on the bike in about an hour otherwise I'd bring them down town next weekend with me. Hoping for new 888's for next season anyway... in which case you won't need to service them for me until 2043
Internally, everything in these other three top shelf forks are anodized and really don't have any 'breakable' parts.
The Boxxer WC does not have the same quality inside where it matters and that's why you can buy the Elka Stage 5 Boxxer upgrade. But to even fork out another $800 on top of your brand new boxxer . . . you might as well have purchased the 40Fit with the kashima coat.
I have had my boxxer wc's for three seasons now and they perform fine. HOWEVER;
- I still don't think they have completely resolved the seal issue
- there is still minimal stiction and the staunchins are paper thin
- anodized internals
Other than those little issues, the fork is a great light WC standard fork, it's just the little things that let it down where as the other three companies have improved past these and then some.
