...if so, how are they and how do they compare to your previous fork?
There's a couple of chaps on here that have them, I know as I sold them to them, 'tweaked' before being sent out of course, reports seem to be good so far. I'm trying to resist the temptation of putting one of the sets of Uturns I've got on my Dialled Albert 😕
LoCo,
Just a heads up. The Captcha on the contact form on your website is knackered in both Safari and Google Chrome. So people cannot send queries.
Jamie, cheers I'll get the web chaps on it straight away. 😀
LoCo, is it at all possible to get a Sektor in a 20mm Maxle, Solo Air, 140mm, black configuration? Thinking about replacing my Pike some time and Sektor seems good apart from the white! Would also consider coil if they do xx-stiff springs to fit a 17st fatty.
[s]The US ones seem to be black, so they must be out there.

Edit: No they are just the QR....I think all Air Maxle versions, 15mm and 20mm, are white.
Yep Maxles are white only at the moment.
Loco, what is this tweak you refer to and do you sell the 9mm QR version?
What are Rock Shox Sektors? Are they a Pike replacement?
Just checking oil levels and bushings so they're running sweetly when they arrive. I am able to supply qr version mail me direct for prices and details.
Sektors are kind of a Pike replacement, nice and cheap too.
Whats the travel range on them? Are they as tough as Pikes (Ive never owned a set but I think there pretty solid)
Cant access the rock shox site at work sorry
Uturn coil 110mm to 150mm with 15 or 20mm maxle lite.
Solo air 150mm with 15 or 20mm maxle lite.
Both white.
The qr ones:
100 to 140mm on uturns and 140mm on soloair
Both black.
Seem pretty tough.
Sounds good. I currently run some Z1 freerides set at 110mm, would they be as tough as these for a bit of jump and dh stuff?
Every year I have to buy a longer travel set of forks for the usual Alps trip. I was gonna get lyriks but there dead expensive (even 2nd hand) but these seem like a good option since they have a touch more travel than Pikes.
I got a set of coil U-turns off LoCo and they would be out there being used except Lynskey have been farting around sending me my new frame (I'll write a thread on it when the saga is finally sorted...).
They are certainly lighter than the coil pikes they have replaced.
they seem to fit in the range where Recons were, but longer travel.
Hmmm........ might be what i may be looking for.

that's clever marketing for you!!!!
I've got them on my 4X bike (Holeshot), but I've only used them for 1 race so far. 110-140mm coil versions with 15mm Maxle.
First impressions are good. Light enough, plush enough, stiff enough. I may need to have them tuned a little bit to make them firmer for 4X racing next season (slighter firmer spring maybe), but for a trail fork they'd be fine.
are the x-firm springs available for the coi u turn version yet?
Sorry for the slow reply, flat out over here servicing! I have just spoken to Fishers and the springs are due around the middle of November with the next shipment of forks.
Bought a set of the 20mm U-Turn Coil from Loco for my Dialled Alpine and so far they feel great. Very similar to my brothers Pike's in terms of damping and plenty of adjustment for the riding I do. Stock spring is perfect for me at 10 stone but may be a little on the soft side for someone heavier.
can't you just stick a Pike spring in if you're not bothered about losing that extra 10mm travel? or want to gain -15mm? (ie. 4X)
