What is suspension tuning and who is it for?

Seb dives deep into how, why and where suspension tuning works with Jake Ireland of Sprung Suspension. Suspension tuning can seems like a dark art. But what exactly can a tuning company do to improve your (already very sophisticated) mountain bike suspension? And if what they do is so good, why don't the shocks and forks they work on come with these modifications from the factory? Do Fox and RockShox not know what they're doing? Of course, there's a lot more to it than that. We sit down with Jake from Sprung suspension, a local tuning workshop, who candidly dives into what they do and why. Apologies for the background noise - we recorded this podcast in a busy workshop.
