TELEMETRY
DAYS
BIKE SETUP | FULL DAY | BYB TELEMETRY
Using our BYB telemetry equipment, we can help riders quickly establish a balanced baseline setting, solve problems and test settings. As much as anything, these setup days are about learning for the rider. We’ll take care of the data, so all you need to do is ride your bike and connect with the feelings.
What you get:
We focus on the real-world big picture - we consider your riding style and preferences first, before working on spring rates, spring progression and rebound speeds.
A detailed record of your settings in a setup sheet.
Gain practical knowledge on suspension theory - We’ll communicate what we are doing to your bike at every step along the way.
Data drives our decisions, but we aren’t robots. We’ll relate changes back to human feelings on the bike, so you can learn and feel more.
MORE DETAILS
-
A full-bike data acquisition system that uses sensors to collect data on how your bike is performing.
Black and white data uncovers how well your bike is setup and how it is interacting with you and the trail.
Combined with rider feedback, we can make informed, measured changes to reach your optimal bike setup.
-
Front & rear suspension position (travel usage), dynamic ride heights, compression and rebound velocities, and much more.
Front and rear brake lever usage, to understand when and how much you are braking on trail (optional)
GPS position.
Wired speed sensor (optional).
-
If you want to trust you’re getting the best performance from your equipment, this is for you.
This system can work for riders of all disciplines (Downhill, Enduro, Trail & XC).
We suggest this system is used for intermediate (comfy on grade 3/4 trails) and above riders.
-
Forget the carpark bounce test or reading countless articles online only to end up in an unknown ‘ball park’.
Gain confidence with a balanced, stable, and predictable bike
Data acquisition helps us find the ‘best compromise’ faster for suspension settings across a variety of tracks and conditions.
You'll receive a detailed setup sheet and gain knowledge on suspension behavior and adjustment response.
This is as much of an investment in your equipment as it is your own knowledge! Our coaching experience helps us understand how your style influences setup, too.
-
Your suspension and bike MUST be in good order and serviced recently.
The day/evening before your session, we’ll take your bike and install our data acquisition system.
We’ll note your current settings.
We’ll meet you at our riding destination for the day. For ease of repetition, we use Skyline bike park or Coronet peak.
-
Based on your riding ability, we’ll choose a suitable test track. It is encouraged that you are familiar with the riding location that you choose.
The test track will represent a variety of features and be approximately 2-3 minutes long.
This isn’t the time to tick off new challenging terrain or push your riding boundaries. The rider needs to be 100% comfortable on the track to do repeatable efforts.
After a few warmup laps, we’ll then get stuck into dialing in your bike set up.
After each lap, we’ll download your lap data to our laptop and analyze the results.
We’ll make changes when necessary and ensure we communicate what, why and how we’re going to change your bike.
If we need to install parts like volume spacers, these will be available to purchase after the session.
We aim to ride at least 6 laps.
The data informs our set up choices, but we can always accommodate rider preferences (to a degree).
You have the option on if you would like us riding/following along with you, so all you need to do is focus on the riding.
We can use our coaching expertise and experience to offer another perspective into your bike set up, too.
If we see riding habits and behaviors that could be affecting your setup, we’ll let you know what we can do to help address them.
-
We’ll send you a detailed report on the session.
If we think your suspension needs further tuning work (i.e internal valving), we can make some informed recommendations.
We wont stop until we’re satisfied with the setup. If we don’t get there in one day, we’ll schedule another session at a discounted rate.
-
Lift pass for the riding location.
Additional parts, like volume spacers or replacement coil springs. If required, these can be purchased from us after the session.
-
Read these terms in conjunction with our standard Terms and Conditions.
Customers can opt to take out an additional insurance cover at $20 per session. Without this, customers will be liable for paying our excess charges for replacing damaged equipment (up to $250).
Our system fits most bikes, but there are some exceptions. If we suspect fitment issues, we will be in touch prior to the session.
Sessions run subject to weather. Wet weather will most likely result in rescheduling.
It’s best if a rider comes with an open mind and is willing to make changes to their set up. As with any change, it can take some time to get used to them, so keep this in mind when you ride.
Your bike and your suspension must arrive clean and in good condition.
If it’s been more than a year since your last full service, we strongly recommend getting them serviced before investing in this system.
We cannot guarantee a successful day if your bike or your suspension is worn out, broken, damaged, or its function is otherwise impaired.
We can get very good results from most suspension brands and products. If we are unable to get an acceptable setup using the external adjusters, we can make some recommendations on re-valving or modifying your suspension.
We’re independent, so you can trust our recommendations are for your own best interests.
