I have some old 140mm Pikes (Coil u-Turn). They’re in decent nick and serviced etc. They feel reasonably smooth and good for single hits, and yet compared to my newer RCT3 Revelations on my other bike they are pretty horrible to ride. Any sort of rocky downhills / multiple hits and it feels as though they just stop functioning.

One option is that I sell them and buy some Revelations – it’ll probably cost me £100 ish I’d imagine. Another option is that I somehow upgrade them to better internals. I know the options are dual-flow rebound +/- a different MoCo unit. Which one of these is likely to make the most difference?

I’d be tempted by the dual air myself unless loco etc come up with anything else…just don’t bin them 😉

Emposhening

😆

Had a little chuckle at that myself JoeG. Definitely going to pass that one off as my own in the near future…

Sell ( or keep for spares ?) and buy new, lots of bargains around atm.

Emposhening…… added to my dictionary 😀

Heard a good one yesterday as well

“Emposhen” or “emposhening” has only three actual uses on the whole of Google, apparently I’m a wordsmith. Now, to get it into the common vernacular. It starts here!

dont think coil can be converted to air.something to do with the coil spring scratching the internal surface of the lowers.i may be talking out of my arse though

I have heard that – I don’t want the air ones anyway. Whilst I love my air Revs, the air Pikes felt pretty awful by comparison (Although they were a lot lighter). I was imagining a damper upgrade, although it looks as though new forks is an easier / cheaper option.

Anyone selling any broken revelations with a compatible damper?!
