Can you retrofit the Blackbox rebound assembly on to Coil Pikes (I know you can do it with the Air forks)? Any other recommendations for some stiff 140mm forks that do not take that much looking after?
Yes, I’m pretty sure you can – you want the Dual Rebound damper rather than Black Box, which is the MoCo unit, LoCo off here sells them or you can find them on eBay. It’s more problematic with the coil Sektor because that has a top-out spring as part of the rebound damper assembly, though I just popped it onto the dual rebound assembly and it seems fine. The top-out spring on the coil Pike is in the coil leg btw, so not an issue.
It’s a really good, easy upgrade and makes a big difference on repeated high speed stuff like fast, rocky descents.
I’ve also just put a Pushed rebound stack from a Pike on a 130mm Revelation. There seems to be plenty of room despite the rebound damper rod being slightly longer. HTH.
