How Do I Know If My Canfield Suspension Needs Service?
Over time, the linkage bearings in your Canfield full-suspension bike experience wear from riding, exposure to the elements, and regular use. Signs that your suspension may need service include creaking, knocking, or excessive play in the linkage, a stiff or rough feel when cycling the suspension, or corrosion on the bearings. However, it’s important to note that Canfield’s suspension design is so efficient that your bike may still feel great even if the bearings are worn. This makes it essential to check each bearing individually rather than relying solely on ride feel.
Ways to Check if Your Suspension Bearings Need Service:
- Remove the Wheel and Shock – With the rear wheel and shock removed, cycle the suspension by hand. If it feels gritty, rough, or notchy, your bearings are due for replacement.
- Inspect Each Bearing Individually – For the most thorough check, remove your linkage from the bike. Rotate each bearing with your finger—if you feel grittiness, resistance, or rough spots, it’s time for new bearings. If even one bearing feels bad, it’s best to replace them all to maintain even wear and peak performance.
Because Canfield suspension is so smooth and efficient, worn bearings might not be noticeable until they are significantly degraded. That’s why checking each bearing directly is the best way to determine if replacement is needed.
Regular bearing maintenance ensures smooth suspension performance, a quiet ride, and extends the longevity of your bike. If you're unsure, feel free to contact us for guidance or check out our step-by-step inspection video to assess your bearings at home.
