Fitted a set of Pikes on Monday. What a difference.

I didn't understand why people were raving about them so much.

Now i understand.

OP, ditto!

Why did I cling onto my 2013 Float 34 CTDs for so long?! These Pikes are simply how forks should be. Awesome small bump sensitivity straight out of the box.

Very impressed with mine (only two rides in so far)
BUT... my initial findings were exactly the opposite of Veero's. I thought they were super stiff and tracked really well but took a lot to get them moving and had very little small bump sensitivity. I found that running them well below the recommended pressure helped, but might yet need to fit some tokens to counteract this if I start to bottom them out.

I think I'll drop the lowers and give them a good lube up, see if that resolves things.
