[Closed] 2018 Pike

Does make a difference on Pikes - the boost pikes are visibly wider at the crown, I slightly regret not going boost when I had the chance.

Yes but it isn't because of the wider hubs, it's just a response to the larger tyre trend.

Yup, exactly. Pike tyre clearance was always a little tight (and for Plus tyres, the sticky outy bushingy bit is in pretty much exactly the wrong place). But that's a Pike thing not a hub width thing, you can widen the stance of forks without changing the hub.

Oh yes, purely for clearance, the wider/stiffer hub thing is a con job

Well I got a response from CR - "Don't worry about the picture, they are the new 2018 forks".

Box arrived, set of 2016 pikes inside. Lying &£@s.

Back they go.
