My old revelations are getting a bit tired on the front of my sanderson soloist - they're usually in 130 mode sagged to about 120mm
I'm after something with a lock-out - either way it needs to be reliable and able to take a bit of rough riding. if all else fails I'll chuck some rigid forks on the front...
Any thoughts?
More Revelations? Not DT Swiss if you want reliable,
I have some revs for sale and a 20mm front wheel. See my history.
They are 140, but i have spacers.
Send them for servicing,will be as good as new
New Rebas or revs spaced down
"revelations are getting a bit tired on the front of my sanderson soloist - they're usually in 130 mode sagged to about 120mm"
130mm forks running 10mm sag? Not going to help them feeling tired?
Wants to be more like 30-35mm sag (With lockout off)?
"I'm after something with a lock-out"
Whilst not strictly a lockout the compression (And floodgate) dials turn all the way on (more lockout) ought to give an almost lockout.
If it still feels like its acting like suspension with both these dials turned to give max 'locking-out'ness (I've seen it on rebas) then I'd suggest a service to get it going like new again
Either send away or do it yourself. It can feel a little faffy but not difficult with a few of the right tools (eg circlip pliers)
There is (or was) a guy on ebay who sells a complete set of seals that'll fit dual-air (not u-turn) rebas/rev's/pikes for £8
Granted even when they're as they should, grunting up/down on the bars of a soloist is never going to make them feel as solid as a rigid fork
Sorry, typo. Sag is to about 100mm. The lockout and floodgate etc are fine. Sounds like the verdict is there's not much better so get them serviced which i suppose is what i was wondering.
I'll get on and strip them down then.
Thanks all!
