hi all,

my trusty Pike Race spewed up oil on the U-turn side today. Pending diagnosis result by my lbs, if for some unfortunate reason it cannot recover from this can anyone give some suggestions/advice for a new set of 20mm forks.

Considered so far are 1. RS 426 basically same as the old one with a different name. 2. Marz 55, but a bit wary since it's on it's first year and there are some many different incarnations to choose from. 3. Would love to have a talas 32 with 20mm fitting but Fox doesn't seem to make such a thing. Why not I ask? On aether at least, would probably be the perfect fork for me! 4. talas 36 - too much fork and the QR20 thingy looks fiddly

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A pair of 07 Marz AM SL's.
Thats what i hve got on my meta, and i love them, should be able to find them cheap too

I run manitou minutes on mine. 140mm and 20mm bolt thru. Although I'm about to swop back to running Talas 36's for a while.

Are you in the UK? (even if you're not)  Get your Pikes to TF Tuned. Pretty sure you'll get them fixed no problem, what they can't do with a RS fork isn't worth doing.

Graham T:

will have a look into it. Thanks.

steveb:

looking into the 36 talas as a mate of mine has a '06/'07ish talas 36 R. He seems to like his a lot. Have you found any reliability problems with the travel adjustment? I am a bit concerned about loss of travel...when required. Thanks.


gravity-slave:

I'm in Asia so for the cost of sending it to be tuned, I'd probably be able to get a new one. Thanks anyway.
