just to drift from the chainsuck discussions,
I have had my Soul for nearly 3 years 2.5 of which it had a u-turn air 'pushed' Pike on.
Last August in a bid to save weight and because I bought a DB Alpine I thought I would ditch the Pike and try a 120mm Reba (20mm team model). The damping is just as good as good as the Pike was, but I always seem to find myself hanging off the back more when descending, especially rocky steep stuff.
With the Pike set at 140mm the bike was a very, very good descender.
Anyway I have just laid my hands on some more pushed Pikes and i am going to spend the next couple of months trying both out to finally decide which will suit me best.
anybody else prefer them with 140mm for pointing down?
Just to finish, I bought the Rebas assuming they were 3.55lbs as advertised, but after weighing them last week I find they are 4.2lbs with the remote lock-out. that's only 1/2lbs les than the Pikes.
Do all fork manufacturers make up Fictitious weights or is just RS?
and before you point out it's not warrantied for 140mm I know, but if it breaks i'll just buy one of Cy's new ones.
