Since my Rockshox U turn pikes died a horrible death i’ve been looking for replacements but can’t make up my mind, so thought i’d ask the collective for advice 🙂
I think my 5 spot was designed around a 130mm travel fork but was wondering if 10mm either way would be ok? The reason being, I’m more a wheels on the ground kind of rider and the old pike was a bit over kill for the 2-3 foot drops i’d rarely encounter.
I’m currently looking at some rockshox reba rl 120mm or some revelation rl 150mm (then reducing travel) these will both drop a chunk of weight but I’m also drawn to some sektor dual position coils as well, hum.
Also been trawling through fleabay but no finding much with a long, straight steerer with 15 or 20mm axle.
If it helps, my local riding is woodsy singletrack, dark peak and welsh trail center trips.
So, older frame riders, what modern forks are you running?
Cheers.
