Hey all. Would you folks say a 140mm Rockshox Sektor is suitable for an AM hardtail?

They look very skinny IRL. I'm glad I didn't buy them. I have some Pikes for sale. [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-small-clear-out-pikes-brakes-chainrings-bolts-top-cap-and-spider ]Here[/url]

Yes, but also look at Thor's - Allterrain were selling them at £400

Some random piss taking up there! ^^^^^

Anyway (today is my helpful day!) : I've for solo air sektors and they are basically last generation Revelations without adjustable threshold.

Try and get some with 15/20mm axles if that suits your wheels.

im not taking the piss, it's a ridiculous question...im currently using 140mm revs and im just mincing about on long xc rides (obviously ive got the wrong fork)...they will either feel good or bad depending on what frame the op is using...

beanie - my post was aimed at the 1st 3. If he's got an "am" hardtail capable of 140 forks then he'll be fine.

Pikes are fine on my BFe, I thought sektors were stiffer?

Nah, Sektors are less stiff than Pikes- as mentioned above they're basically a low-spec Revelation. Still perfectly good for the job, though!

But they are a newer design so I would have thought they would be at least as stiff. Granted I have never ridden sektors and I find my pikes floppy compared to my lyriks
