Dave Garland formed Stendec because of his passion for racing...

Dave is dedicated to the sport of Downhill and 4X racing. His reputation for the ability to work with riders and give them the exact setup they need for the type of course they’re racing, is why pro’s like working with him. Check out the rider list in our Racing & Riders page and see who Dave has worked with. Many of these riders call on him for tuning advise and test days in the off-season so they have their bikes completely dialled for when its time to go racing!

Stendec’s workshop is small but very well equipped, we do not have a production line of employees - its just one person that answers your queries and the same person that does the work. That’s what sets Stendec apart from the rest... we keep it personal.

We are also in the process of building a new workshop, which will be ready by the middle of 2009, this is to house new machinery and will enable you to come and see us to discuss your requirements, hang out and see what we actually do to your suspension, we will also be offering some new services as well, details coming soon.

The workshop is closed periodically when Dave leaves for a World Cup racing - but its not for long. The website will keep you informed about these dates.

In 2008 Stendec teamed up with Team Chain Reaction Cycles / Intense and Intense Factory Racing to provide technical support at all UCI World Cup DH events using the Manitou Dorado fork and Cane Creek Double Barrel shock.  The 2009 season is will be one of the toughest seasons ever and demands on equipment tested to the limit, Stendec will be there to ensure that it’s a successful one.
