[Closed] PSA Rockshox fork amazon bargains

Just thought I would give everyone a heads up there seems to be some bargain rockshox forks on amazon.co.uk at the moment. I have just ordered some 140mm solo air 29er pikes for £294.31. As usual with amazon it does seem a bit hit and miss for a bargain (very little in 27.5) I noticed that the had some 120mm 29er Rebas for £159.
Hope this helps someone and sorry if I got the bargain that you wanted.

I ordered a pike, but I will believe it when I see it. Thanks for letting us know.

They've got some SID RCT3's for £240 as well.
Almost worth buying them as spares 😀

Anyone know if I can use these:

To convert my Yari into a Lyrik (or at least make it a Yari with a charger damper).

P-jay, pretty much definite you can put that in a yari to get almost a lyric. My Pike CSU died on holiday so I am putting the charger damper in my new yari. Probably worth keeping the yari damper though as two of our group had the charger damper fail on them.

Prices have gone up a bit.

Is it like the Shoes thread where Jonathon will be mailing everyone soon?

Well at least these were stocked by and sold by Amazon, so less likely to be a price error/cancel situation.
There were a few cheap prices, but all 29er or 26er and mostly the 29er were 51mm offset (which I have no idea about).

Gary Fisher/Trek's G2 geometry is 51mm offset and it turned out to work really well so essentially everything else is copying it now. (have to admit, I was really convinced the 51mm offset on my 34s was making a difference til I checked my Pikes and realised they were 51mm offset too.)

Apparently, I've got some 29er My16 Rebas coming tomorrow for the princely sum of £143 including pump and service kit - seems ok to me. Will see if they turn up

They are me too. I just did a search for rockshox foks on the UK site and then filtered by 'prime' and saw some of the prices being talked about (you have to click on lots of model options to find the cheap varients). I don't have a 29er or 26er any more though so pretty useless.

Bluto's at just over £200 would have been irresistable.

Can't find anything like that, though...

Nah, I'd just started looking for some cheap used 29er XC forks to go with my horrendous £100 chinese carbon frame, so [i]obviously[/i] I bought some brand new RCT3 Sids.

Reverbs for £96 in 34.9mm flavour too. Have Amazon just dine a Planet X and bought up a load of bankrupt stock?

Imagine being that guy at Rockshox.
"So we've made 100000 Reverbs for 34.9 seattubes"
"Dude... You know the number on the seatclamp isn't the same as the bore of the seattube, right?"
"Is it not?"

(I know there's some 34.9 seattubes out there but, not many...)
