    I have an Orane P7, apparently 140mm is the perfect amount of travel for them. I have normal QR hubs and would prefer not to have the extra expense of getting a new hub. Adjustable travel is not imortant to me.

    At the moment the contenders are…

    RockShox Sektor RL Coil – 275 GBP
    Rockshox Sektor RL Air – 333 GBP
    Rockshox Revelation Air RLT (150mm, but would be ok? yes) – 360 GBP – my price limit.

    Or get second hand Pikes and get a new hub.

    Any suggestions/comments/deals welcome.

    Cheers.

    Mmm more choices, does anyone have any sort of opinion of what would be best?

    IIRC Rev's are supposedly higher up RS range & so supposedly better than the Recon's or new Sektor fork, but that may also be affected by their model within the range (race/WC/u-turn etc), no idea about the new RLT designation. As for the extra travel you should be able to fit a spacer into them to reduce it, but 10mm should make little difference.

    How about some RS 140mm Revelation RLT for £300ish with the extra 10% discount

    For peace of mind I'd go for some kind of through axle. Like Garlic Bread, it's the future…

    I've got some Recon coils on a Pipedream Sirius (red), fine for me but I'm not the gnarliest rider out there.

    I'd get some coil U-turn Sektors and a 20mm wheel (and I have)

    why..
    because I prefer coil to air
    U-turn is very handy, and I use it all the time
    20mm is much stiffer than QR, and worth spending on
    and the new Sektors are very nice IMO.

    Just got me Revelation RLT 2011, I have gone from Reba SL 2009. I can say that they are really nice and plush, hugely adjustable and the dual flow rebound is noticeable. I have them set at 120mm at the mo on my Trance X, Merlin are doing them cheap £332 -10%. Got mine from on-one for £300 😀
