Are they [i]really[/i] stiffer, or is it just an assumption because the stantions are 1mm larger?The Lyrik plus Avy is going to perform every bit as well as a BOS fork if not better [b]due to the stiffer 35mm stanchions.[/b]
The main things putting me off Bos is lack of parts, service manual, and sketchy reports as to how r53 are on communications. their website is still proclaiming the arrival of devilles in 2010 - And saying I should reserve one now. I know much of the supply problem on parts is from the bos end but that's not very encouraging either. I have enough of that with owning formula brakes...
Anyone know how much they charge for a service?
Based on a few peoples experiences, some do feel the BOS forks are less stiff but a lot of people don't seem to notice when riding. Some people are more sensitive to it though.
The point I was trying to make is why spend another 500-600 quid more than the cartridge.... on a new pair of forks when you can keep the Lyrik chassis, with easily available spare parts and seals etc and purchase a user serviceable avalanche damper that uses parts most motorbike mechanics could source for you.
What's not to like?
Yet again, Mission Control Damper and forks setup properly and your Lyriks will be mega.
Or spend hundreds making them mega...but sure TFtuned or Loco would advise the best route....which would probably include goin coil anyway.
I've got Bos Devilles and have never felt that communication with R53 has been poor. In fact I'd say it's been excellent. A service costs £150 including postage, but the service interval is every 2 years. Oh yes, I really like the forks as well.
