    What’s the small bump sensitivity like with the solo air spring?

    I’m reluctant to get rid of my dual air revs because I can set the negative spring up to give a bit more plush starting stroke.

    Is that a Rev or Pike? The Stanchions look really skinny in that photo!

    Let us know how it feels 🙂

    That is a Pike. You can just about make it out on the sticker on the inside of the leg.

    Also has the “murdered out” stanchion coating. I don’t think this is on the Rev yet.

    I certainly don’t miss the dual air in my old Pikes. These feel spot on.
    If they look skinny, the Fox 32s would be anorexic.
    Will have a lot of ride time by the end of the weekend.

    Hi Kiwi,

    I have an SB66 and am thinking about swapping the forks to Pikes.

    I currently run 170mm X Fusion Vengeance HLR. They are great forks but too big and too heavy for my needs. The bike is VERY slack.

    I am not sure whether to go for the 150mm or 160mm Pikes. I read that the SB66 was originally designed for 150s. I mainly ride at Swinley Forest – which is as much up and along as it is down so Im looking for versatility but I dont want to loose that epic confidence you get when you point the bike downwards and into the rough stuff. Would I loose this with 150s? How do you find the 160s and why did you choose them over the 150s?

    Thanks

    (bike looks great btw)

    I find your choice of grips abhorrent. Everything else is fantastic
