Im currently running an 2010 RS Rev Race 140mm (mc damper)on my chameleon, im finding that quite alot of the time it's getting a bit flustered and choking up a bit.....they are serviced and working ok but on really rutty or flat out rooty stuff at high speed they just dont cope with damping at this speed....should i..... 1. get them pushed. 2. sell them and get a blackbox fork....any info as to which is better...? thanks..
Option 3: buy a blackb (arrrghhh minor moment of mobile phone ****in up) -ox damper & retrofit it
The PUSH revalving is supposedly similar performance wise to the BB damping. Cost the two against each other?
I think the retro fit option is pretty costly, Loco contributed some prices to another thread a couple of weeks ago. You could get a push tune and full service and have change AFAIR.
I had a Push tune done on my pike 4 or 5 years ago. It did massively improve the fork in the chop at speed, but I drew the conclusion that its sensitivity and bump compliance suffered at slow and moderate speeds and the trade off, for me, wasn't worth it.
That was early days for Fork PUSHing though, so the latest stuff might be much improved.
I had my Rev Race modified. TFT said it could not be PUSHED but they could fit a Blackbox damper, Inc service and postage it was £196. Cheaper than a new one, but I could have sold it pre mod and bought a new set for the same outlay. Worth considering. Also had the spacer taken out, to give me 150mm, meant I could run more sag for a plusher feel.
