….OK, so maybe not that vintage, but after my 44s ate themselves, I’m back on my old Pikes for the foreseeable future (no point upgrading due to steerer/wheel restrictions).
Trouble is, they’re old, they piss oil (I know, the fix is easy, I’ve done it 4-5 times before), they pack down etc. I’m after a more permanent solution and I’ve heard that you can fit the newer black box Moco and rebound dampers to help improve general performance and, probably, help retain a bit of oil.
My question is this: which dampers are compatible with the old Pikes (454 Air U-Turn) and where can I get hold of such a thing?
Also, is it worth swapping to the, questionably, more reliable solo air spring, as I never us the U-Turn feature (not even sure where the nob has gone, actually)?
Thanks
