Avalanche cartridge upgrade for the Pike?
[i]I have a secondhand seat lever operated KS. [/i]
I got all my new ones when Superstar were having a clear out of their KS stuff and when wiggle were selling Reverb's off cheap. The 27.2 was second hand.
OT, but this has made me think...
When I got back into biking after a couple of years out after moving to brum I got hold of a 2010 spesh hardrock.
That bike is now a kinesis FF29, has had a stint as carbon and a stint as full suss and I cannot find anything that's the same.
Everything between has been changed one piece at a time (apart from the switch to 29 which had to be frame/forks/wheels at once. End to end I think:
4 Frames
3 cranksets
countless chains and cassettes
4 prs forks
3 wheelsets
4 seatposts
3 saddles
2 dropper seatposts
5 sets bars
3 sets brakes
3 1/2 sets shifters
1 front mech
5 rear mechs
countless tyres&tubes
It's spawned children (built a frame around the spare bits for someone else) and apart from the original forks which were fit for the bin and the first wheelset which went on the spawn bike I could rebuild the original hardrock in it's entirety...
Charger Damper Upgrade with external Hi/Low compression adjustment cart upgrade for the pike.

Custom one off re-spray. Preferably in garish colours.
Then replace bits to match the new paint job.
mmm, those Pike custom tunes has got me thinking! Would match the CCDBair if it had a few more knobs to play with...... 😉
Anyone ridden one back to back with a std Pike and noticed the difference?
