FLETCHER, N.C. (BRAIN) —Cane Creek Cycling Components has released a new tool for owners of its Double Barrel rear shocks. The DIALED app, now available for iOS and Android users, is a free mobile application that the company says "turns a smart phone into a suspension guru by teaching riders the art of suspension tuning in a quick and simple format."
"Well-tuned suspension gives a rider more confidence which can lead to the truly perfect day on a bike," says vice president of sales and marketing, Holly Colson. "Double Barrel shocks offer an almost limitless tuning range, therefore we consider it our obligation to back up this powerful capability with the right tools and support for our riders."
Designed for entry-level riders up to advanced suspension wizards, the app gives the option of walking through the steps of a full tuning session or entering an established personal tune and tweaking it to perfection. Riders can explore the effects of each adjustment to get the most out of their bike based on their individual preferences.
To set up a bike, DIALED connects to the Cane Creek suspension database of over 6,000 full-suspension mountain bikes and accesses shock configuration and custom base tune settings. For those who are new to the suspension tuning process, DIALED will teach them the steps and provide adjustment recommendations for specific bike models while on the trail and based upon the rider's feedback.
For added flair, Cane Creek has also worked with partners and special guests on educational video pieces so a rider can learn how to set sag or adjust air volume from the pros. If a rider already has a tune, they can enter it in, tweak as needed and store all of their set up details and trail notes in one place for an unlimited number of bikes set ups.
DIALED is free and available now for iPhone and Android user in iTunes, the App store and on Google Play.
