I have an Orane P7, apparently 140mm is the perfect amount of travel for them. I have normal QR hubs and would prefer not to have the extra expense of getting a new hub. Adjustable travel is not imortant to me.
At the moment the contenders are...
RockShox Sektor RL Coil - 275 GBP
Rockshox Sektor RL Air - 333 GBP
Rockshox Revelation Air RLT (150mm, but would be ok? yes) - 360 GBP - my price limit.
Or get second hand Pikes and get a new hub.
Any suggestions/comments/deals welcome.
Cheers.

Mmm more choices, does anyone have any sort of opinion of what would be best?
IIRC Rev's are supposedly higher up RS range & so supposedly better than the Recon's or new Sektor fork, but that may also be affected by their model within the range (race/WC/u-turn etc), no idea about the new RLT designation. As for the extra travel you should be able to fit a spacer into them to reduce it, but 10mm should make little difference.
How about some [url= http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/Bike+Shop/Frame++Forks/Forks++Shocks/Rockshox+Suspension+Forks/Rockshox+Revelation+RLT+Forks_RS-REVELATION-RLT.htm ]RS 140mm Revelation RLT[/url] for £300ish with the extra 10% discount
what are your hubs?
For peace of mind I'd go for some kind of through axle. Like Garlic Bread, it's the future...
Red ones, coz red is faster!

I've got some Recon coils on a Pipedream Sirius (red), fine for me but I'm not the gnarliest rider out there.
garlic bread? Garlic? and bread?
I'd get some coil U-turn Sektors and a 20mm wheel (and I have)
why..
because I prefer coil to air
U-turn is very handy, and I use it all the time
20mm is much stiffer than QR, and worth spending on
and the new Sektors are very nice IMO.
I'm telling ya!
Just got me Revelation RLT 2011, I have gone from Reba SL 2009. I can say that they are really nice and plush, hugely adjustable and the dual flow rebound is noticeable. I have them set at 120mm at the mo on my Trance X, Merlin are doing them cheap £332 -10%. Got mine from on-one for £300 😀
