So on the lookout in the not too distant future for some 160mm pikes. Wheres the go to place to get them cheap these days?

Wheel size?

Ze Germans.

😉

27.5 although they will be run 26 for the forseable.

Tick.

would take 150mm if they were much cheaper

I bought mine last year from Alltricks for about £320 posted,went for 150 though as another £100 for the 160’s,eventually swapped out the air shaft and put them to 160 for 25 quid.

All of us??? But i don’t have any for sale 😛

Yep I’m lonely 😥

On another note whether you’re buying from us or elsewhere, you really want to go for the 2016 Pikes as they have had a few design changes, most notably the redesign of the damper sealhead and seals which will improve reliability.

the grey bottomless tokens are different too. They’re a little narrower to allow for air to move past the sides for some reason.

I think they’re just that size to fit the Lyriks (which have thicker stanchion walls).

Red ones are faster though 😉

Along with the seal head is a new extended rebound shaft/rebound piston mount. The Extended rod is no longer undersized from the rod so it slides in the seal head bushing, its triangulated so it stops above the bushing.

How do you tell them apart? Are the 2016 the ones with the decals applied at an angle?

You check the serial number. Ones with 2016 decals are not guaranteed to be 2016 model year forks.
