Marzocchi 55's have seized up again so looking at some Lyriks.
Which ones are the best? Coil?
coil, or solo air
coil
Freeborn were selling coil lyriks for £500. I got a pair - absolute bargain.
Devs and I have both got 2-step air Lyrics - both with minor issues. Excellent when they work, can't say they are 100% reliable. Both still useable though - one sits too high, the other too low.
Both thinking about a £60 u-turn coil conversion - recommended by TFTuned.
the 2-step or solo air can be switched to coils with u-turn fairly easily. mate at bike shop bought 2-step as only they come with 1.5 head tube but wanted coil sprung. took him about half hour to do. work fine.
2-step are often cheaper too. think the parts cost ~€50.
Coil. Your only reason for choosing air would be weight saving....in which case you probably dont need lyrics.
Have had both in air, 2-step and 55ATA on an AM bike, both went seriously wrong, go coil of buy Fox Floats/Talas, currently running VAN's on my FR bike
Thanks for all the info, it's much appreciated. Probably coil or not at all for me
