Check should be tomorrow stanstorey when I'm in the bike store.
@stanstorey I do have the right hand one spare, it was my left brake side one I replaced. PM me and I'll send it to you 👍
Since there are no mud guard holes which out of the RRP or mudhugger guards fits the pikes best?

I’ve just fitted a RRP Proguard Standard and it fits well. Not tried the Mudhugger.
Mine will be getting the RRP Proguard from my 34, so it's good to hear it fits well.
🙂
Amazing mudguard BTW.
Yeah I have one of those on the other bike but had heard about some catching the crown at full travel. I am tempted to try filling the crown webbing with sugru to hole a bolt on guard in place. Also have a mudhugger frx (not the latest one) which came off the old forks.
I know the answer to this is probably no - but does anyone know any deals on lyriks or similar at the moment?
I got the last Lyrik Ultimate 29 from CRC I think but that was a complete fluke and I’d given up on it. I was considering getting the Yari Boost 2020 and going Charger 2.1 upgrade as would still have worked out cheaper than a brand new Lyrik (if you can find one).
CRC are selling the 29 x 160 Yari’s for £417 at the moment.
Yeah that's probably the cheapest way to go about it, could build one up for £600 I reckon
There are likely to be discounted RS forks in the coming weeks, after a new product reveal later today.

Mysterious/Cryptic postings on the Rockshox social media this morning = new product announcement due?
"Ready to fly" being the tag line... Which is the oldest fork in their line up? Photos shows some guy climbing so trail bikey I think...
STW staffers probably already seen it and have the artical written, just waiting for the clock to tick down to publish time!
Wouldn't want to put a damper on their big announcement, but expect some interesting updates.
Electronic damper stuff, lockout, linking to the AXS eco system etc...
Start Fitness have some discounts on RS forks incl ‘Select’ models. Not near CRC OEM pricing but starting about £700. Not huge bargain but maybe cheaper than elsewhere?
That's not the thing I was thinking of.
Was expecting an update on the normal forks as well.
But perhaps that's not happening today.
What a load of twaddle !!

First reviews are in!

Gone are the days of twiddling your twaddle, now it seems its all to be done automatically.
Personal thoughts - More expensive crap thats probably going to make little zero difference to your average cyclist. Sponsors riders yes, but the average Joe on the bike, can't see it.
Instead of just turning the compression damper to see what one click does, you now have to rummage for your phone? Doesn’t feel like an improvement and given where it is located hanging off the back of the right leg I can see some clumsy riders giving it a good whack or at least knocking it about a bit. Feels like a solution looking for a problem to me, agree that ShockWiz integration is more useful to the average rider.
Quick thread resurrection question. I got a set of these bargain pikes from CRC beck in Sept but only fitted them 2 weeks back. Not been out on a trail yet. The charge compression makes no difference whatsoever. Dial fully clock wise or fully anti clockwise, no performance difference.
I would assume that either fully open or closed the shock should feel fairly locked out.
Has anyone else experienced this, wondering if it's possibly down to no oil in the system or something else ?
Wondering whether I should do a warranty return or if a basic home service will sort it out.

Modern (decent) forks don't really work like that.. the compression damping affects how the fork resists pushing into its travel based on the speed of the motion rather than just stopping it doing it at all.
Check out the SRAM suspension tuning guide for a decent explanation (p18 onwards for rebound / compression damping).

no performance difference.
You may need to ride it to judge properly.
The dial is for low speed compression and it affects how the fork holds up as your body weight compresses it when riding.
So I'd typically only have a bit of it when riding steep trails, to keep the bike feeling stable.

Thanks for the feedback, It should make a noticeable difference though, as it does on my fox 34s and 36s.
Just checked a service video online. Looks like the charge damper should 100% lock out the fork when closed so I'm guessing that these have shipped with no oil in the damper.
These are back at CRC in various flavours of offset, travel and wheel size. Now £450.
@feed these don't use the charger 2.1 damper with them being the budget model of pike.

Trailhead says mine has a charger 2.1 RC.
Looks like the dampers vary for the select plus depending on year and model.
