The top out clunk thing isnt isolated to Pikes, i have a set of Revelations that do the same thing when you lift the front wheel off the ground....the last half centimetre or so extends quickly and with a little 'clunk' at the end/top out.

My coil spring Sektors dont do it...maybe its an air fork thing?

It doesnt affect the ride, i have just under 20% sag and all other settings/dials etc at their midpoint, great fork and if i ride hard i can get them to within the last 10mm of travel, perfect for me.

Fox have a better rod seal at the seal head. I don't really see how adding a pressurised nitrogen sleeve to a damper with a already poor seal at the bottom of it will prevent air entering. It would make it worse IMHO, you would need to start by designing a new seal head with better sealing.

Maybe fire off an email to Craig then as he knows his stuff around suspension more than most.

hence retuning required to accommodate this.

I don't think he retunes specifically for this, Craig says that all you need to do is drop the PSI a little.

Kayak - finally managed to remember to try it last night, turned rebound to full fast, no klunk.

Thanks, and also, damn... 😕

i just get the impression that the same people that dont like them wont get on with anything else

Love my Lyriks tbh. Keep wondering if I could put the coil in my Pikes and have a 2kg-ish belter.
