Hey everybody, welcome to the single tracks podcast. My name is Jeff and today Aaron and Greg and I are

going to be talking about mountain bike suspension. Specifically, we're going to be talking about

the important stuff that you need to know about mountain bike suspension to get the best performance

out of your mountain bike on the trail.

So I'm going to start off the discussion talking about the history of mountain bike suspension

because I really don't know a whole lot about how suspension works.

So I'm going to be just like a lot of our listeners and I'm going to be learning.

But I do know how to use the internet and how to research things. So mountain bike suspension dates back to 1987, which depending how old you are,

that sounds like a long time ago or maybe not so long ago. But in 87, a man named Keith

Bon Trager and another guy named Paul Turner showed a full suspension mountain bike at Interbike. Believe it or not, Interbike was around back then.

And according to Wikipedia, the industry was not impressed with the full suspension mountain bike.

So it seemed to be an idea that was sort of before its time, but Paul

Turner was a big motorcycle guy and he knew how important suspension was for motorcycles. So he kept

tinkering and eventually in 1981 he created the RS 1 fork, which stood for the Rock Shocks 1.

Paul Turner started rock shocks and basically started with that fork in 89, and then rear

suspension followed fairly quickly.

Early forks used air with oil return, and then within a few years later, they were experimenting

with elastomers,

but those eventually fell out of favor. And today you see forks with air and coil shocks.
