32mm stanchions, maxle, 140mm travel.

Are these now the same as a pike just a bit lighter?

At that price make sure you perform the proper lowers service rather than ignore them like some riders!

Always a risk posting on here after you've bought as somebody will always come along and tell you where you could of got them cheaper. Oh well...as long as you're happy

Nice forks and what I would buy

£699.00 for my DTs, had my current pace xcams for nearly six years so at just over £100 a year plus a service or two I figure they're not bad value.

Tracked down the best price to a place called Adventure Sports about 2 hours outside Boston in the States. Uncle, who lives in Boston, is coming over to visit end of next week, so will bring them with him. Bonus. Probably could've got them for £250ish before the £ GBP took a nose dive. Still much cheaper than here though.
