Does anyone know the crown to axle length on the 150mm travel Sektors?

Also are there any good deals about at the moment on the 20mm Maxle Coil U-turn or air versions?

Quote him? Why don't you just let him know what the price is?

I prefer not to quote prices on the forum as it's a bit to close to advertising for my liking.

Had been eyeing up some Sektors myself the last week and found some [url= http://www.cyclelane.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s30p4274 ]HERE[/url]. Not a bad price and appears as though the 20mm Maxle is in stock (most stores seem to be out of stock of this flavour atm).

Price matches are do able ๐Ÿ˜‰ All my forks are stripped and prepared before dispatch too, so they've got the correct amount of oil and sized bushes. ๐Ÿ˜€

The only problem I see with the Sektors is that the crown is black and not white like the lowers. It's the only thing putting me off.

anyone know how quickly the sektors bed in?

first ride on my 150mm coil u-turn sektors this evening (with the stock spring) and i was expecting it to be sag-tastic and it kinda was with 50mm sag but they still felt quite good and never got anyway near full travel

Hey Jere, still waiting for them, should be with me today or tomorrow. I'm not sure if the snow has slowed things down a bit. ๐Ÿ˜•

One other question i had was what spring do they come fitted with as standard? and what rider weight does that equate to? I hope Rockshox haven't done the same as they did with the pikes and made the medium spring only suitable for a whippet

Standard should be good for 11 to 13st riders depending on setup e.t.c

My local bikeshop quoted me 365 euros for Sektors (the 9mm, cheapest ones). The Exchange rate must a bit daft at the moment. (on CRC are 400 euros)
