Offer out some STW transition discount codes then 8)

Anyway to get these bits cheaper for the new Pike conversion? (old Pikes are IS)

Only tend to use CRC…

Mine arrived today. OEM so no pump or spare seals. It does have the bottomless tokens though. Don’t forget to buy a star fangled nut!!!

£323 all in for 29er Rcs thankyouverymuch OP 😀

UPS man rolled up with mine this morning too. I have the bottomless tokens like andymc06 but no pump, spare seals or Haribo.

Forks were packed in a slightly cavalier fashion with no bubble wrap in sight, looks like the steerer made a bid for freedom through the top of the box at some point during the journey! Seem to have survived unscathed though 🙂

Looking forward to seeing if they hold up to the hype. Feeling good in the highly scientific ‘quick push on the carpet’ test…

When did you guys order? My UPS bloke seems to have pulled over for a 36 hour nap.

Last Thursday evening. My forks had made an attempt to escape too! They seem to be unscathed though 🙂

These are 100% definitely black upper and lowers?

What are bottomless tokens?

And are alltricks trusted? Never heard of them.

bottomless tokens are the plastic volume spacer thingies that screw under the bottom of the cap covering the air chamber. The reduce the compressible volume which makes the fork ramp-up more towards the end of the stroke.

Mine are black lowers and uppers. Got an e-mail confirmation immediately and a despatch notice with tracking link 24hours later. Tracking info was accurate too. I’ll use them again.

Hmm, cracking deal. Anyone got any wheel recommendations for a 15mm axle? 😉

(sadly the wheels on the bike I’d stick them on have oem Formula hubs and I can’t see the front will convert to 15mm. So Pikes = new wheels for me also).

Oooooooooooooof should be here tomorrow, think i’ll be shopping in France more often 😆

Glad i seen this post,does the code still work ?still a great price though,

Still working here.

Thanks for the heads up on this. 🙂

Still working. £310 thereabouts. Can’t argue with that 😀

Only other thing to note is these are the 2014. They have 2015 on there also at an extra £100, but can’t see any overwhelming reason to go for the latest model.

Bugger, just ordered some RS Revelation RL’s from Merlin this morning (dispatched) at £310 as the steerer on my Fox Vanillas snapped last night.

Ah well.

@StColin, 7 day DSR or just turn down courier when he turns up return to Merlins

cheers ordered last night near midnight and shipped today,Excited now….shame i have fecked ribs and recovering from bust ribs so will not be ridding them straight away

my compression doesn’t actually lock out, does anyone else’s? There is a padlock symbol so I’m assuming it should, but maybe it doesn’t. Its very slow/stiff, but not total lockout in the RCT3 stylee

Mine doesn’t lock completely. Wouldn’t worry about it.

Righto. Does anyone else have a little mm or two of slack movement at the very start of travel, eg picking the bike up and plonking it down makes a knock and if you grab the slider you can pull it up and down a couple of mm with no resistance. My Revs do the same but they are 2 years old and can’t remember if they did it from new.

I guess a slight bit of suspension on lockout is good for trail chatter on tech ascents?

it is not a lock out

I read somewhere else people saying there’s a slight bit of travel/knock as you describe, and seems to be normal.

thinking about it, it can only be the movement from the wavy spring compressing, and I shouldn’t be pulling down on the sliders anyway!

ordered, cheers OP

So anyone got any tips on tweaking these Pikes? rebound clicks, compression setting, air PSI etc? Fitting mine tomorrow :- )

Here today
and here[/url]

The code is no longer working. Oh well that saves me some £££.

buy buy buy lol

code was only 5% anyhow still a bargain without.

Definitely.

Mine turned up today. Quicker than expected as paid the cheapest delivery and estimate was next week.

Steerer now sawn down and doing the final fitting. Cup O Yorkshire Gold beak 😀

They give CRC a run for their money with the size of their boxes, eh?

Box was about fork size with mine 🙂

Quick question on the newer Rockshox rebound adjuster. The red adjuster has a screw by the look of it. Does this mean it will stay in place when riding?

All my forks so far I always remove the red adjuster and keep it in my bag when riding, as they have a habit of falling out mid ride.

i’d like to know too kenny, my old pikes have the red adjuster zipped up in bag 😀

@chakaping, how are CRC boxes nowadays, not ordered off them for a while?
