A friends numpty son came back to find his bike without wheels and 20mm thru axle off first gen Pikes, I can help out with some old 26"wheels and tyres but the axle is a different matter, shops are asking silly money for obsolete old stock. What are his options and will a maxle lite actually fit, the original axle had a qr nut at the end for adjustment.
Is it not the same axle as a current boxxer?
You could certainly interswap qr and non qr 29mm axles on old roxshox forks. Dunno if they stopped it
Don't think a Maxle will fit as you would need an appropriately threaded end nut.
Thought QR was a Marzocchi thing? Hangover of the QR20 era.
Can actually measure and compare a 2006 and 2017 Boxxer and both flavours of Marzocchi 32mm axle if it helps. But not till morning.
Is this the point where my 2 sets of Pike 26" Air U turn forks have some value 😀
Mr Overshoot - if they work I'd gladly pay you some money for a pair for my DJ bike! The cheap forks currently on it have had it!
Second interest Mr Overshoot on some Pikes for my old 26” beastie please
Squirrelking thanks but dont go to any trouble, I think someone is bailing me out, they apparently have one but aren't back home til later this week so fingers crossed it's the right one.
i've a couple of pairs of sektors in the garage. one u-turn and one 2 step.
It won't be any trouble, just need to jump up the loft with the verynears.
