I've ordered the wrong air shaft for my pike. So before I send it back I thought I'd ask if anyone in or around Leeds wants it. I can also fit it if usefull?

Brand new, unopened package that I was a unable to cancel after ordering:

Pike DebonAir C1 Upgrade Kit (A1-A2/2014-2017)
130mm-29", 150mm-27.5", 160mm-26"

Daft question, what's it do that the old one doesn't?

Oh and how much?

It's a big improvement to how sensitive and plush the fork rides with more mid stroke support. I need the 2018+ model for my fork.

I wish I understood all this , I have a 35mm Debonair revelation fork on my bike and Ive never been impressed, It definitely needs something if only I knew what !

The Revelation has a different damper to the Pike, it’s definitely a better fork than it used to be, but still not as sensitive as the Pike IMO.

I’ve just done the upgrade to a pair of my Pikes, it really makes a difference.  They really are more ‘plush’ now, well worth doing

or your fork was in such dire need of a service you reduced stiction.

Ha! No I can assure they weren’t in need of a service.

I purchased a pair of NoS Pikes about 3 weeks ago, ran them for a week and upgraded the air spring.

I'm not one of those riders that notices small changes on a bike. You know,5mmm shorter stem, 20psi extra/less on a fork or whatever but I did notice the DebonAir upgrade on my Pikes.

I'd recommend for sure.
