Keep or Swap?

[blindman_22]

i'm currently running a pike 426 dual air u-turn on my trance. i really like the way the fork works, but man this thing is really heavy. is there another fork that is comparable to the pike? should i even consider swapping for another fork? i'm a laid back rider and don't do any hucking.

I'm sure you can get some forks that are lighter, but you may not find a more supple fork. Those are great forks.

mmm...supple

that's not the answer i was looking for . i love the feel of the pike, but wished it was a little lighter.

btw i need to consult with you soon about building some wheels.

keep the fork, buy better wheels.

When I had my trance, god rest its sole, I went from a Fox float r to a Rockshox Revelation RLTi dual position air. (130/150) That thing is amazing. 130 for uphills, 150 for downhills. Also, it has your lockout and it's really light.

 

[irv_usc]

what pho'dup said.

When I had my Trance, I swapped it out for a Yeti. Never regretted it.

The rockshox revelation RLT TI is super light and is very plush. I love mine.

New Marz 44 Micro Switch TA might be an option. 1890g

+1 on the Revelation. I have the Revelation Dual Air U-Turn 150mm. It's been a great fork

 

[SeanC]

Let me know if you are interested in selling the Pike.

Swap...for a 454

Love mine. Run 454 dual airs on two of my bikes, including my ss :bang: So freakin' fun.

 

[blindman_22]

Dell, I originally wanted the 454, but couldn't find one with a decent steerer tube length.

Sean, I'm gonna stick with the pike for bit. I'll let you know if I do decide to get rid of it.

 

[blindman_22]

Ok, love the pike, but the weight plus me tired almost caused me to wreck yesterday so it's gonna have to go. Looks like I'm gonna have to find a revelation for a decent price. I'll send you a pm soon sean if you're still interested

 

[SeanC]

PM received, sent one back.

 

[guero]

swap. new parts are sweet.

 

[HardtailBlazer]

you can always go revelation..they can be had for pretty cheap..are dual air..and are light

FYI: Don't wait too long for a Dual Air Revalation if that's an important feature to you, rather than Solo Air. Going forward, the SID, REBA, and Revalation will all be Solo Air.

 

[blindman_22]

Gonna pick one up as soon as the pike is sold
