LazyTrailRider Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 If you have to buy a fork then rather buy a Pike. The bike deserves it. Yeah, I wouldn't put an Evolution Series on a bike with this pedigree. Only Kashima models are really worth it, and at a huge premium. The Evo Float 29 on my previous bike was the worst fork I'd owned since the 90s. Convince yourself to get a Pike. If you can't, get a Revelation, which is almost as good, or even an X-Fusion Trace or Sweep (both are really good as well). Big Wheel Cycles, Spoke101 and MaXiMuM 3
MaXiMuM Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 If you have to buy a fork then rather buy a Pike. The bike deserves it.Why? Honest question.

rouxtjie Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Why? Honest question.Sage VXP(Fox) or One(Pike).... MaXiMuM 1
MaXiMuM Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Sage VXP(Fox) or One(Pike)....Ahhh, layman's terms... Much like! Price difference relative? Edited May 30, 2014 by MaXiMuM rouxtjie 1
rouxtjie Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Ahhh, layman's terms... Much like! Price difference relative?Think the gap might be bigger between a vxp and one. My experience with fox is that is relatively fit and forget, whereas rockshox takes a bit more time to "dial" in, but once it is, I prefer it.

It will most likely be cheaper than to build up your own set of the same level anyway...I'd go with a 2.35 HD on the front, 2.25 is fine for the rear. Note that HDs are not great on hardpack or loose-over-hardpack, but excellent in loamy stuff, so this all depends on where you mostly ride.You should be able to get a 2x10 SLX setup pretty easily, for example here.Headset: Many PYGA owners run Cane Creek's 40.Stem: 70mm should be fine if you go with a 720 or 740mm bar, but this is all down to personal measurements. Some would recommend putting on a 760mm and running it with a 50 or 60mm stem. Either will work!If your budget can stretch to a dropper, try to get one. I was a heathen up until recently but now fully believe that one can't exploit the capabilities of a bike like this without one. beanz 1
awesme Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Fellow Pyga owners. What's the process/steps to setup the rear shock, What does the button/switch do with the hair and ... / moose ? I see there is a air valve, so take thats for the compression, seem to remember Pyga wants the default sag to be 30%. How do I setup the rebound, turn the red dial behind above mentioned button/switch. G
