MOJO or TF tuned

lugsey2k5

hello again.
not sure if this has been asked and couldnt find it in the search.
in your opinion who is better TF tuned or MOJO.
im thinking of sending my 07 rlc floats for a service befor i go to spain and was wondering whos is the best service.
also what is the difference in the service they provide other than TF tuned being £10 cheaper as they seem to offter the same service?
thansk for any help in advance

I used TF Tuned and they were great. They can even collect your fork as well as return it. I got a call stating my options to be sure I was getting was I actually needed. Good stuff.

If you have Fox fork, I understand Mojo also touch up and make it look like new.

+1 for TF Tuned. Mates of mine also speak highly of MOJO but they don't deal with my forks (Spesh E150). TF's service was superb and they provided me with a complete report on the condition of the forks and the shock, which now feel out of this world.
I didn't pay any extra for the set up, as part of the service request form asks for your rider weight etc.

hope this helps.

I've used MOJO for a warranty repair & they were good - they updated the fork from a 2008 to 2009.

Also used TF Tuned for a service/repair - they know what they're doing & are happy to give advice. It's also good that they prefer phone calls to emails, so you get an answer quick.

TFTuned.

If they were good enough for Steve Peat then they're good enough for me.

I prefer TF, mojo serviced my forks then told me I had to have new stanchions that cost and extra £120 (or similar) due to scratches below the top seal. Lots of peeps at the time reported the same problem. Nobody could prove otherwise.

TF keep you in touch all the way. I won't use Mojo now.

being realy thick here. wat does tf tuned do. i hear ppl say about gettin gthem tuned for rider weight etc etc..............................


and wat does push tuned mean.

PUSH Industries manufacture upgraded internals for some suspension systems, so a PUSH'ed fork will have new boingy bits inside that are of a much higher standard than the factory components.

is it wrth doing mate..................... still dont understand the tuning for rider weight bit tho

Joe_Pineapples

Suspension is tuned to your weight, terrain, what type of riding you do etc etc.

A bike will come with a shock/fork that is a compromise. It has to work for a 16 stone rider and a 10 stone rider.

It's up to you if it's worth it or not, but if you are a beginner as far as suspension tweaking is concerned, then maybe you should learn a bit about how much adjustment you have with what you already own.
I've just got a new Lyrik fork and it's baffling at first trying to work out where and why to adjust the suspension, but you really do get results with some experimentation.

Watch.

BFG - I'd hang on a bit if I were you: the rate you're shrinking you'll need it done again in a fortnight!
Nice work fella.

Just for info: TF Tuned is Tim Flooks, bona-fide mountain bike legend from back in the day and one the earliest driving forces behind bouncey push-bikes.

Having your shock(s) set up by someone who knows what they're doing is well worth it if you ride hard enough to appreciate the difference, and especially if you're not of average weight. When you change the spring rate in the shock (eg. change springs, pre-load or pressure) to set the sag for your weight, then you give the damping circuits different forces to deal with and they'll benefit from being adjusted accordingly (eg. a really strong spring will need more rebound damping to stop it firing the stem back into your teeth!). What terrain and how you ride will affect what your 'ideal compromise' (surely an oxymoron?) might be.

As mentioned above, depending on your shock, there's a lot you can do yourself if you're prepared to find out a bit about the basics, but there's a lot to be said for experience and if you're getting a service anyway...

Just a last word of advice - if you are tuning things yourself, change one setting at a time and keep a note of how the ride character is affected. Probably best to stick to a regular route too, so the shock's getting the same(ish) input. Dull, I know, but it's really the only way...

I seem to have waffled on (again) - but just be glad I didn't launch into set-up advice, I was tempted... :roll: :oops:

Tf tuning every time, got a pushed rp23 from them and it's been fantastic on the anthem, i find grip in places others can't.

lugsey2k5

cool looks like TF tuned are the fav then, do they also make the fork look like new as MOJO do?

I agree with experimenting with your shocks before sending them away to be tuned - and if you do send them away, you need to know what you want doing, not what someone else things will work for you.

With some forks having dual air chambers, rebound damping, compression damping, lockouts, travel adjust, blow off adjust plus changing oil weight there is a hell of a lot you can do first.

I understanding that it is not easy to appreciate something that is better until you ahve tried it, but learn about what you have first.
