    I had Ty do the suspension on both my txc510 baja race bike and my tc450 Glen Helen mx bike.
    The 510 tracks straight at scary speeds. No bad habits. WAY faster than I am. Very Good
    The 450 bike at Glen Helen is very good also. It kicked hard on the square edge bumps. lots of little jolts.
    Ty made the bike very plush. No unusual or bad habits anywhere.
    Both bikes handle very well in each of their environments.
    I know speed is relevant. But Ty took the time to talk to me, as equals, to find out what I wanted, what I was experiencing, and corrected.
    I have always been impressed that Ty will drop what he is doing & take the time and talk with some old fat guy when I show up.
    I am nothing special, but the Zip Ty boys make me feel special.
    Ty has my business

    Ty tweaked my 310 and got it spot on. Les at LTR did the Full Monte on my 630 and it is all I hoped for. Can't go wrong with either but if Ty is close it is a no brainier.

    The clickers do not work when trying to adjust oem 4CS forks. We have redesigned the internal components in order to allow them to work as they were originally intended to. We also have designed and manufactured the adapters in order to install aftermarket cartridges into your 4CS fork tubes.

    Didn't want to start a new thread for one question so thought this might be an appropriate place to pose it.

    Does anyone have experience shipping suspension from Canada to the U.S.
    I have an appropriate hard case but any other details or comments on your experiences would be appreciated.
    I have emailed a few carriers but no responses yet.

    It true, trust me. Michael could pick up Ty, throw him over his shoulder, and go ride.

    All kidding aside I can tell you I've never experienced a shop like ZipTy. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent there with the guys. Watching Ty work on suspension is like watching a professor in his lab. I'm sure there's other places to get suspension tuned, but there's only one place I'll ever take mine. Luckily I can drive there, but if I ever move I would ship to them without a second thought.

    We were a little behind on suspension due to employee change overs, but we are back on schedule again.
