After a recent trip to the Alps I'd quite like to get some bigger forks for my Pitch. I have also noticed some really nasty stanchion wear on my Pikes - I am thinking it's probably not worth replacing the stanchions etc as it will be too pricey, so I was thinking I will just run them until they break then buy some new forks.
However this seems like a really good deal and I doubt they are going to get any cheaper.
I am somewhat skint after my trip but do have some money I could spend on em - also tempted by the finance option, which is not like me!
I put a set of these on my Pitch before I sold the bike, they're great for the bike.
hardly any long axle to crown than the pikes and weigh the same 🙂 Makes the bike way easier to get air-borne too
if you've neglected pikes so much that the stanchions have worn, I'd avoid Fox forks.
how does an extra 20mm travel make a bike [i]easier[/i] to ger airborne? 😕
oh, and a 36 A-C is over an inch longer than a pike too.
I'd imagine you'd be using the bike in the low position seeing as the longer fork will raise the BB about 10mm, if so, you'll end up with a 65.something deg HA and a 14.something " BB height, if the BB were a little lower that'd make a nice UK/mini DH bike IMO
Yeah I did consider that about the wear on the Fox Forks - I was pretty new to biking when I got my Pitch but I'm much happier with spannering now so I think I would be ok to do the regular servicing etc.
Think the bb is fairly low to start with isn't it so raising it slightly shouldn't be too much of a problem.
An even better deal to tempt you

Oooh! I think that might have persuaded me damn you!! Hope they still have some left when I get paid in a week or so.
14"ish BB isn't really low at all for a 6" travel bike. (in lowest setting)
i thought the pitch geopetry was fixed in the slack/low settings off the enduro?
Saying that I guess a bit of paitience and a steady hand would add another hole.
