just sold a tourer, got £500 for it...
need some 140mm air forks with a 230ish steerer and 20mm bolt thru
crc have some nice revelations at £517 that would be ace.
should i bite the bullet and buy em, or be a tight wad and wait till i get something suitable off here.
but no one has steerer as long as that do they?????
[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=21355 ]Nixons?[/url] Are they for the Stiffee - reckon they'd rock. Axle to crown is the same as the 130mm Bombers I had on mine - perfect.
mama, they are.
got the frame today, baby blue and one of the 'my favourite number' ones
...............69............
I AM VERY EXCITED 😉
You really don't see many forks for sale on here with that length of steerer!
If it was my money I wouldn't buy the 2009 Revs as have heard of loads of seal issues, also they have the same internals as Pike's i.e. can get a bit overwhelmed when you really hammer them.
I'd buy a pair of Fox Vanillas with 15mm lowers from CRC for £350 instead, or wait and buy the new 2010 Revs with the updated damping gubins, power bulges etc. Just my opinion, oh and I own Pike's and Vannillas so have some experience of them.
Floats are nice forks as well...
Ooooh, the special edition 😀 . What about the 140mm version of [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=21345 ]these?[/url] I've just fitted 120mm Absolutes - lovely forks (as were the 100mm coil sprung Comps I bought the week before - don't ask 😉 - now on a well-known auction site as I'm too damn lightweight for them 😕 )
always been a bit wary of manitous.
dont want owt fancy, just a nice solid 140mm air fork.
are the last one solid enough???
I'd get Nixons, have had a few pairs over the years and never had any problems. Light, reliable and cheap. What more can you ask for?
you never know tony i picked up a set of float rlc fork from here with a 230 steerer but i chopped it down to 175 last week lol
Hmmm, plenty solid enough for my 8 1/2 stone 😉 . That said they are pretty light weight and the 120s do seem very slightly more flexy than the 100s they replaced . . . go for the Nixons (or Vanillas if you don't mind coil sprung).
Zocchis can have new steerers put in them by windwave for £40
I have had it done on a set of Zis ( needed a reinforced steel steerer for tandem use)
