currently running my sould with 130 revs uturns, but due to a need to swap some wheels over i may have to put on some pike coil u turns anyone riding one with them on and how does it feel, does it make the front very heavy?

I ran 426 coils for while then moved to 454 air u turns. the difference in weight is noticable. just got som reba teams with 20mm axle and they are great, just like 'ickle pikes'

the change to 20mm will be a BIG difference, for the better IMHO

Much more betterer with 20mm front wheel IMHO

I have a set of pikes on my lightish XC bike - previously MXpros. Suprisingly they are not actually that heavy and I am certainly not good enough to really notice the extra weight. I wanted the 20 mm axle and I got the forks cheap

Not if you've had Z1 Freerides on there, and Shermans before that!

What's the weight difference anyway, half a pound?
