After being messed around with an order for some Revelations that I never received I am back to square one with my BFe build.
Spent too long reading forum posts about the ideal forks for a BFe. Most people talk about the sweet spot being 120/130mm ish, others that a travel adjust 150m fork offers the best of both worlds with regards climbing and descending. Finally there are people who are happy with Lyrics/36’s etc. Obviously this is a topic that divides opinions and I originally settled on Revelation RCT3 Dual positions (150/120mm travel.
I guess the BFe can be built up into many different guises, but I want mine to be a a bit of a do-it-all. Current build spec is Zee 1×10, Flow EX’s, reverb, 50 mm stem, wide bars etc. The new Pike in the 150mm flavour keeps entering my mind as a fork option. I let my sensible side get the better of me previously by ordering the Revs, but now I’m getting tempted by the Pikes again. I can wait another couple of weeks for them to be available.
Do people think that the fixed length 150mm version would be too long? Don’t want to kill the ability to climb etc, but quite tempted by these as a fork. Any opinions welcome!
