Not getting on with the MRP fork that came with my bike so looking to change it. Pikes are always reliable. Anything else I should be looking for and anybody aware of any bargains out there?

Seems a decent deal?
⬆️ Maximum 2.4 tyre may be an issue?
Is it a different chassis to the performance elite? I only ask as I'm looking at mine with a Minion DHF 2.5 WT on a 30mm internal rim and a RRP bolt on fender.
I don’t know if you’re interested but I’ve got a set of Cane Creek Helm mk2 air I’m not using. They’re currently sat to 160mm but can easily be reduced using spacers internally. It’s a very easy 15 minute job that’s certainly no harder than a lower leg service.
Theyve had very little use with the steerer cut to about 190mm (from memory).
Theyre a superb set of forks, that are in my opinion superior to any Pike.
The only reason I’m selling is because my Madonna takes a 170mm fork & I was itching to try the z1 coil with fast damper.
Is it a different chassis to the performance elite?
Yes. Well, the same as older performance elite, not the same as recent ones.
I’ve run a 2.5” in my Rhythm, again with bolt on (Synchros) mudguard. Wouldn’t bother trying a 2.6 or a mudguard that goes under the arch.
My PE mentioned above is 2017/18. Pretty sure arch clearance hasn't gone backwards in that time.
You mean Chain Reaction aren't the go-to for Fork bargains anymore?? 😆
