Has anyone gone from 32 floats with fit damping to a pike? Is there a huge difference in performance in the damping and more importantly is there a huge difference in the stiffness from a 32mm to 35mm?
I know there should be but just would like some real world reviews too, I'm guessing the 35mm chassis would feel a lot better ploughing through the rocks in the peak
Yes.
Night & day.
The damping is superb, but the cornering is the major improvement.
Not floats but talas 110/140. Will be going to pikes when they arrive next week. The 32 were fine on Soul and Trek for the brief time i used them but Soul was better at a static 120 and the bb on the trek dropped too low at 110. Getting pikes as the bandit could do with burlier forks.
A complete different fork built for different things...
Went from fox float 32 150 RLC kashima 2012 to 2014 pikes both great forks but pikes are just amazing but as above said, I was trying to use 32 150mm floats for stiniog and on heavy braking and fast double blacks it flexed badly!!!
With no proof other than feeling but I genuinely feel I have never descended as fast with my new pikes and no flex and use the travel so well!!!
