    Looking at these on ebay

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110695251899

    have pointed out rockshox never made a ‘2 step coil u turn’

    which i have been told from the buyer

    “and they are 2 step coils not air “

    and

    “They are the model of forks i described lyrik 2 step u turn coil forks they did make them because this is a pair of them,”

    so maybe they have been upgraded from 2 step to coil u turn? or am i going mad and they actually made a 2 step coil (which i’m 100% they didn’t)

    they made a u turn coil, and a 2 step air.

    Never a 2 step coil.

    Havent they just release a 2-step coil version, with 2 coils. You compress and lock one out thus reducing travel? That would imply the existing, single coils cant do 2-step?

    Also, I thought you got 2-step *or* u-turn, not both? Doesnt make sense to have both.

    It’s a u-turn. Which is good, because if it were a 2-step it’d explode and then you’d end up converting it to u-turn anyway.

    If you’re buying, check it has the maxle!

    He’s already sold them once and then the buyer sent them back.

    Now he’s selling them with a no return policy.

    Perhaps it’s connected to this:

    there are some scratches below the steerer tube, i have covered these in black pen to protect them the elements

    Perhaps they are more than scratches. I’d avoid.

    Black pen. The finest weatherproofing known to man.

    2 step is an air valve that increases the size of the air chamber – so nothing to do with a spring its a U turn coil & I’m sure when they stopped using those decals.
    Also there is no sign of any previos sales of that fork in his completed listings.

    Looks like 1.5 or maybe a tapered steerer. If it’s tapered maybe that’s what he thinks is 2 step. And the pen covered scratches are shown in one of the shots. So, other than not realising about the steerer tube (prolly why previous buyer sent them back), it doesn’t seem too bad.

    Ah, I reckon Rickos has it. Maybe someone ought to ask the steerer size and then send him this link explaining 2 step. 2-step stanchions are marked differently to u-turn too.

    the seller is an idiot, face it – they are u-turns

    and £900 what a joker – two years ago, you could buy these new at around £400 if your shopped around

    the maxle is missing as well!

    Yea.. i’m staying well away

    Missing crucial info: type of steerer, steerer length, type of spring

    Where’s the pics of receipts?

    I despair at some of these ebay ads sometimes
