About us
Larry Westney and Markus Dellinger, the founders and owners of Eighty-Aid, are also the chief mechanics. They are enthusiastic cyclists and dedicated mechanics. They will do everything possible to provide a perfect HeadShok, so you can rock the trails just like Fontana, Fumic, and all the other Pros. Including the fun! They have worked on HeadShok since day one and gained precious knowledge during countless races and events, including Volvo-Cannondale, Saeco (Pairis-Roubaix), Siemens-Mobil (later Siemens), Heijdens-TenTusscher team and the Cannondale Factory Team forks. Their good contact to HeadShok R+D in Bethel/CT USA is worth pure gold. Several thousand serviced forks during the last 1o years add routine and expert knowledge. Since 2002 we got in several european country eighty-aid centers. Larry is also one of the main instructors of Cannondale Europes dealer trainings. Every single HeadShok sent to Eighty-Aid is maintained, repaired or tuned by eighty-aid.
