Maybe I'm wrong but I was always told if it's too good to be true, it usually is...

Too good to be true prices, from a company nobody has ever heard of?

Hope I am wrong but I ain't buying.

I've used them for years. Bought thousands of euro worth of kit from them over the years including Nicolai frame and more. Delivery, support and returns have been without fault.

It's actually their 20th anniversary this year.... they're not a new outfit.

^ This

These guys have been around for quite a while. Bought a few bits off them, never a problem and a regular go-to when I'm on the hunt for something. Although the nice £ to € has suffered since :/

Can confirm they are good. I bought my Pikes from them a couple of years ago. No problems at all.

I've used them for a long time and I wouldn't put up a PSA for a place I didn't trust

I just meant 'I had not heard of them' not 'they sound dodgy because I have never heard of them.' I did google them before ordering though 😆 I am now trying to decide what decals to get as I got the cheap OEM ones that look plain black in the pic. Thanks again howsyourdad1.

Hey guys, can anyone say whether or not the foxes can be reduced in travel?

Usually new airshaft required but in general yes

I have used them before, no stress.

Currently have 2 pairs of fox 34s sitting in my room, need to decide which ones to build up and which to send back. Ordered a pair of 140 pedlec forks which i didn't research enough to realise they are designed for e-bikes. Seem quite heavy so think i am going to build up the 34 rhythms instead.

Don't come in fox boxes but that is mentioned in advert.

Anyone know how the rhythm series of fox forks are?

Cheers

I’ve had the rhythms for 6 months and think they’re ace. Super smooth, can’t really tell the difference between them and my pikes but I’m not a good enough rider to tell the difference

I’ve got a set of Rhythm 34 Boost and they are great forks. They just work with no fuss.

What clinched it for me was the green decals. I likes green. Of course, if the green clashes with my grips I'll just bin the forks.
I also hope the Rhythms work nicely, I've never had a Fox fork before (and to think I'm pairing it with GX Eagle, the horror).

What's the difference between the Rhythim forks and the grip performance ones? OEM Vs aftermarket?

Performance hasn't got the cheaper (heavier) stanchions, and has a "better" compression damping adjuster.
I've ordered the Rhythm, as I want to build something up as cheap as possible as an n+1 curiosity bike.

As Kelvin says above.

Also the rhythm can’t have the travel adjusted like performance can.

Why can’t the travel be adjusted? Just bought a new airshaft for mine ?

I was told by Mojo they couldn’t be.

Why can’t the travel be adjusted?

Unless the damper is position-dependent (which it is not, save for the last 20mm or so - purge port), I don't see how it would know it's only working from 20 to 140 (instead of from 0 to 140).
Between the article and the comments, the [url= https://www.pinkbike.com/news/fox-34-float-grip-review-2016.html ]Pinkbike review[/url] suggests they can be adjusted using a new airshaft.

In case anyone is wondering how much extra the pedelec ebike versions weight, for the 36s at least it's quite a bit, 250g extra https://www.emtb-news.de/news/en/fox-36-e-bike-optimized/ , so maybe about the same for the 29 34?

damn tempting to try those rhythms though

No mate, normal ones- or at least I can see no reason to think they are not. The description is this: “34 Float 29" 140 Rem Grip Perf Speed Ped 51 Federgabel 2017-Werkstatt“

Cheers

Actually it looks like they are 'e-bike Optimized'. From reading online that's fine for me tbh. I'm weighty and running them on an aggressive hardtail. The extra reinforcement will be a good thing as long as they aren't mental heavy.

Cool, I'd check they're not over damped for the extra weight of an eBike.

Basically just says online they have taken their ‘Enduro’ Tune and it works for Trail E-Bikes. I’m 15st and use the HT for decent size jumps and drops so it should suit me TBH.

I’ll feedback when they arrive!

Cheers

Ordered a 29er 34 Perf 130mm boost (non pedal elec), but seems to have vanished from the website now. See if it gets dispatched.

My order placed on Friday has now been cancelled. No stock apparently (and they are yet to refund the PayPal payment)

Not happy as I turned down other options at the weekend which are no longer available...

They were 32 Grip Perfomance 140s

Hmm...maybe I should hold off selling my RS forks then!

On the upside I spoke to Silverfish (Mojo) today and they confirmed the e-bike ones are fine for ‘normal’ Bikes. Tune is marginally firmer (but I’m hefty anyway so no probs) and the forks are under 200g heavier but WAY stronger.

That will be good for my hardcore HT.

Hope they arrive!
