SANTA CRUZ HECKLER — FULL SERVICE & BACK TO FACTORY FRESH! 🔥🔧

This Santa Cruz Heckler came into Progressive Cycles for a service, but once we stripped the bike down, we uncovered a few issues that needed sorting! 👀

The pivot bearings were full of rust, and the shock bushings were excessively worn, causing unwanted play in the rear end. Definitely time to get this bike back to how it was meant to be! 💪

🛠️ Here’s everything we carried out:

✅ Fresh pivot bearing kit fitted
✅ New shock bushings to eliminate that unwanted play
✅ Complete brake fluid flush and re-bleed
✅ Chain ultrasonically cleaned
✅ Headset stripped, cleaned and rebuilt
✅ Dropper post firmware updated
✅ Shifter firmware updated
✅ Full bike system update completed

We’ve gone through this Heckler properly, sorting the wear, refreshing the components and making sure everything is running as it should. No shortcuts, just proper bike servicing! 🔥

The result? A fresh, smooth-running Santa Cruz Heckler, ready to hit the trails again! 🚵‍♂️💨

She’s all ready for delivery this evening, heading back to her owner and ready for her next adventure! 🤘

🔥 GIANT GLORY — FULL SUSPENSION OVERHAUL! 🔧💥

This Giant Glory came into Progressive Cycles for some much-needed suspension work, and we’ve been busy getting it back to its best! 👊

🔧 Front Fork Service
We stripped the forks down, gave everything a thorough clean, replaced all the seals and refreshed the damper fluid. Fresh internals and ready to get back to business! 💪

🔩 Rear Shock Rebuild
The rear shock needed a little more attention, so we sent it away for specialist work. It required a new damper shaft, a full rebuild and new bushings.

The shock arrived back with us this morning, so we got straight to work refitting it to the bike! 🚀

🛠️ The Finishing Touches
With the suspension back together, we gave the brakes a proper bleed and fitted fresh rear brake pads to make sure everything was working as it should.

✅ Full fork service
✅ Rear shock rebuild
✅ New seals, damper shaft and bushings
✅ Fresh damper fluid
✅ Brake bleed and new rear pads

The best part? The owner collected the bike and was absolutely over the moon with the work carried out! 🙌 Nothing beats seeing a happy customer heading out with their bike running as it should.

At Progressive Cycles, we take pride in doing the job properly, from routine servicing to full suspension overhauls.

🔧 TORQUE IT RIGHT. EVERY SINGLE TIME. 🔩

Ever wondered why using a torque wrench is so important when working on your bike? 👀

Whether you’re fitting suspension, tightening pivot bolts, installing a stem or working on your frame, getting the torque right matters!

❌ Too loose? Bolts can work free.
❌ Too tight? You risk damaging threads, bearings and expensive components.

✅ Correct torque.
✅ Protected components.
✅ Safer rides.
✅ Peace of mind on the trails.

At Progressive Cycles, we believe the little details make the biggest difference. We use the correct tools and follow manufacturer torque specifications to help keep your bike running as it should.

🚲 Don’t guess. Don’t overtighten. TORQUE TO SPEC!

💚🔧 WHEN A BIKE REPAIR TURNS INTO AN ENGINEERING JOB! 🔧💚

This Haibike came to us from another shop in Manchester after being painted in this absolutely stunning green! 🔥 But during reassembly, things took a turn…

The rear triangle had been bent, and the threads at the lower pivot point had been completely torn out! 😬

Time to get to work! 💪

First, we carefully straightened the rear triangle and got everything back into alignment. Then came the tricky part… finding a solution for those damaged threads!

We visited TWO different machine shops to get a custom bolt made to our own specifications. We upgraded from M10 to M12, using a coarser thread pitch for a stronger setup. 🔩

While we were at it, we replaced all the pivot bearings and the bolt kit to make sure everything was fresh and ready for the rebuild.

✅ Rear triangle straightened
✅ Frame alignment restored
✅ Custom bolt manufactured
✅ All pivot bearings and bolt kit replaced

The frame is now back together and ready for the shop to complete the rest of the rebuild! 🚲

Was it a straightforward job? Definitely not! 😂 But at Progressive Cycles, we don’t shy away from a challenge.

Sometimes getting a bike back on the trail takes more than just replacing parts. It takes experience, problem-solving and a bit of engineering ingenuity!

Got a bike with a problem nobody else can sort? Give us a shout! 👊

This Whyte E-160 RSX came into Progressive Cycles for some serious upgrades, and what a transformation! 😮‍💨🔥

We started by swapping out the original brake hoses for black braided hoses, giving the bike a much cleaner, stealthier look. 🖤

Next up, we changed the colourway of the brake system from blue to red, tying everything in perfectly with the fork for a seriously slick finish! 🔴👌

But we didn’t stop there…

🔧 The upgrades included:
🔴 Hope Tech GR4 brakes – in our opinion, one of the best gravity brakes on the market right now! 💪
🖤 Black braided brake hoses for a clean, premium finish.
🔥 Hope Gravity 50mm stem for that direct, aggressive cockpit feel.
⚙️ Burgtec spacers and top cap to finish the front end off properly.

It’s all about the details with this build. The colour coordination, the premium components and that unmistakable Hope Tech styling make this E-160 RSX stand out from the crowd. 😍

At Progressive Cycles, we’re all about building bikes to suit the rider, whether that’s performance upgrades, bespoke builds or simply making your bike look as good as it rides.

📍 Based in Bootle, Liverpool
