[Closed] Anyone else had trouble with Pike fast black coating?

Mine doesn't seem to be very robust. I almost had a coronary when I took the bike off the rack and saw I'd rubbed some off at the top of the travel a few months back. Luckily it hasn't caused any issues and I'm not leaking air. Cleaned my bike up at the weekend and noticed Ive took another whopping chunk out of them right at the start of the travel (looks like a rock strike) from when I went to Cwmcarn. I've never even so much as scratched any other previous pair of forks, they are all pristine. TF say new CSU's are about 350 quid plus the price of a service!

Not had any issues with either my pikes or Revs with the black coating, rub down with smooth wet and dry to take sharp edges off to protect seals and get some gothic nail varnish to fill holes if necessary, no point in replacing if it's only cosmetic (rrp is £326.99 on csu) we'd do you a set cheaper than that though, and with the french guys doing the rc pikes cheaper than that you may as well buy a new set and swap them over selling the extra parts off as spare 😉

Slight thread highjack here but Loco, what do you charge for reducing the travel on a dual air Pike?
