CYCLINIC

All about the mid-stroke

Aiden Lefmann is Sydney born and bred, but almost 10 years ago he moved to Queensland, primarily to escape the traffic – something many would empathise with. The abundance of trails around Brisbane was a surprise.

“I didn’t realise the mountain biking was so good. I looked at a map and saw Mt Nebo, and thought it couldn’t be a sealed road all the way up. It was, but I found plenty of trails to make up for that,” he says.

Cyclinic was set up in 2006, primarily as a skills tuition business. As a gifted bike rider, Lefmann’s long experience riding and racing on Cannondales meant he was also one of the best in Australia for servicing their Headshok suspension systems. In July 2014 he made the leap to opening a service centre to service and tune suspension full time.

“I hadn’t really serviced anything else except Cannondale suspension until then, but since the I’d say I have serviced more Fox forks than anyone else in the country!”

Cyclinic now has a team of five in Brisbane offering suspension servicing, custom tuning and sales for all of Australia. While Lefmann says Queensland accounts for up to 40 per cent of their business, they have suspension items sent in from around Australia – and even New Zealand – for their expert servicing and custom tuning.
