I’ve got a couple of new bikes recently and just wanted to check a couple of things on the forks.
1) Pike RC Lockout
One bike has a set of Pike RCs. I’ve come from a set of Pike RCT3s where a full clockwise turn of the compression dial just about locked the fork out. On the new RCs a full clockwise turn of the compression dial firms up the fork, but not so much you would consider it locked out. Is that correct?
2) Revelation RL travel adjustment.
The other bike has a set of Revelation RLs, formerly from a Boardman Pro FS-

These are set at 130mm and I fancy a little bit more travel. It’s not essential, the forks were cheap and I’m happy to lose 10mm for the £100 or so I saved, but it’d be nice. Is is possible to convert the fork by removing All Travel spacers as shown in the bikeradar guide below, or are these at maximum travel at 130mm?

Thanks.
