If you happy with coil stay with them. :-)
you’ll not get a air fork that feels like your coil without spending a fair bit of money.

Low speed compression on the pike ONLY works in open mode.
Edit : hehe :D

jairaj

On the fox you can adjust the compression of the “trail” mode on the fox to one of 3 fixed levels.

On the pike you can adjust low speed on the open mode only.
the compression for trail (pedal) or locked is fixed and unajustable externally.

So while you have about 14 low speed compression settings for open mode on the pike you have 3 compression options for trail mode on the Fox.

not really “way more” ..

yes low speed compression ONLY works in fully open mode.

There is external adjustment to the open/pedal/lock modes.
jairaj seams to be indicating there may be internal but i have the forks and the only external adjusters are rebound and low speed compression.

I think we checked about 14 clicks on low speed but i’m not 100%.
I set mine all the way to – then went 4 towards the +.

my rebound is fast on my pikes, all the way to fast (bunny) then about 5/6 back to slow.
works for me.

See above..

North your totally right.
I’ve not seen one fail on the headtube but i have seen on the BB which longer forks will put more stress on this area.
Most were rear triangle.

sorry i didn’t phrase that well and also made a typo.
The 3 position compression dial has no adjustment (like Fox Trail adjust).

And yes your right the low speed is a Compression adjuster not a rebound adjuster as i mistakenly typed.
if you put to much low speed compression on small hits will feel harsh and jarring.
Run as little of this low speed as you can, enough to prevent fork dive (on braking) and as little to allow the forks to suck up the small bumps.

i’m sure someone will point it out if you ever post a photo on here.

But technically, all good to do that.

Just be aware that RS are 5mm longer A2C than fox.
if you did get a 150 RS fork that would be 5mm longer A2C than a 150 Fox float.

i’m asking out of interest not a smarmy question.
Why can’t you fit a 150 fox?

Jimmy you can drop the pikes to 140/150 or get some fox with a 15mm front axle.

I would be cautious as Zesty frames were know to crack on occasions (My partner had one and we bought the fixed 2012 version where they resolved the cracking issues).

i’m not saying it will crack but to be aware of overly stressing a frame designed around a 140 fork.

First thing there is no compression adjustment on the pikes…
The compression is fixed for each of the 3 settings.

OK that out the way the general thing is 30% sag and have at least 1 token inside (bigger lads get 2 tokens in).

I run 2 click off fastest for the slow rebound and about 5/6 from fastest on the main rebound.

Still tweaking them having used full travel on a big drop yesterday.

Bugger, sorry Dan.

I have roger mussons book in paperback and his wheel jig i would be happy to loan if you were in the area.

Get rogers book (linked above wheelpro) and if your serious look to get a jig of some sorts.
mine looks like this and was build using rogers book

dan where you based?

Clifton Hugh Lancelot de Verdon Wrottesley, 6th Baron Wrottesley, 14th Baronet or Clif for short(I bet thats what Guy called him! after they kept calling him Martin).

borrow 2 bikes (friends? demo? hire?) and ride the same route and find out rather than guess.

monarch + or Float X IMO.

I seemingly go though bushes like butter.

I run TFTuned heavy duty bushes miles better then OEM

A few points.
You do have rights in this situation but sadly you have missed a few elements that will prevent you progressing the issue further

You have to agree a limit to the costs at the start.

As long as you are specific about the type of work you want done then you don’t have to pay for unauthorised work. This is covered by the Consumers Act.
You made sure you were clear about what you want from the start but missed setting the limits of costs (which is required by the act to protect yourself).

the problem is in case law it’s been clarified as
“- at a reasonable charge, if no price is agreed beforehand”

Depends if you see the charge as resonable.

If they estimated the costs again this would help.

Sounds like it may be one of those “lessons learnt” situations.

Thanks Loco, get well soon fella.

Suppose it will be ages until the importers get them now…

toons – Filtered by our systems sadly.
If it’s the bit out the service manual about reducing the height i’ve seen that. The 150 has a different (read shorter) internal than the 160.
i’ve been told you can pop the 160 version into 150 forks and take them up to 160 height.

i’ll look when at home later.
thanks

Nealy – i have downloaded the manual from RS and it’s not in stock in the UK.
Most suppliers in the UK are awaiting parts.

I remember a thread where Loco stated he was getting some soon and would know a price soon.

hahahahahaha :lol:

Again thanks for concern about my mood, its made friday even better for me knowing others care. :-)

Hope yours is going well too.

do a quick search
Argos camera and a sj1000 should come up.

I’m not being mardy, i’m having a lovely relaxed Friday FYI.
Thanks for your input as to my mood though.

look on the home page.
the Orange has ALL the purple parts hope will be making on it.
photos too.

phone = i’m at work
e-mail = work email doesn’t allow none verified email to be sent.

STW is one of the only WWW sites that doesn’t get filtered.

Either way how i contact someone is none of your business.

The RC is different to the RCT3.

look on the service manual for the Pike and you will see the numerous different parts that are needed for the RCT3 compared to the RC.

I use a dfender for the front.
Not cheap but boy it works..

check Tredz

they are good for discount purchases.

I’m more offended by that you called a moped rider a motorbiker.

found just the QR’s

can’t find just the QR’s atm but here is a link to a full security set.

Can you not get some spacers made?
Some 5mm steel spacers each side?

Why not add £400 and get both?
My lbs are selling -Giant trance X 2’s for £1800 and less for cash.
**** lovely bike for the money.

everything wants to kill Hora.
pebbles, girls, the internet, etc, etc :)

I’ve actually met Hora (he won’t remember me) and he is actually a nice chap and less opinionated in real life. Bought a few bits of him too.

Agree though CC hate those pebbles

get one of those Argos ones.

cheap and ok for what you need.

Isn’t Guy Martin in this? He is hoping to win too.

Good luck to him if he is. Top fella.

LOL @ Hora.
i’m going to pickup a CC pebble to hand to you next time i see you.
you can wear it like a trinket ;)

your a star kimbers, thx.
