Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Ok,I'm thinking of trying 1 token in my Pike to see how it changes the bottoming.I haven't bottomed my pike yet... Just not pushing hard enough, or it's the DP working some funky damping
Headshot Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Your Pike???? Does Iwan know? Hairy and Bizkit031 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Your Pike???? Does Iwan know?Lol. The pike on the bike now. It goes to Iwan tomorrow. So the real testing shall begin.
Josh0 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Ok,I'm thinking of trying 1 token in my Pike to see how it changes the bottoming.I added 1 token to my Pike a while ago. Very subtle change, but that little extra progressiveness feels great. Also I dropped about 5 PSI of air pressure so it's more sensitive over small bumps. Pikes are just great, aren't they?

Skott5 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I bottomed my Pike badly the other day ... made a sickening sound ! Thought I had broken something. I need to investigate putting in a token or two. Josh0 1
Headshot Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I bottomed my Pike badly the other day ... made a sickening sound ! Thought I had broken something. I need to investigate putting in a token or two.That happened to me once too - I added some more air as I was well under the recommended pressure and so far so good... Flowta 1
nolipoli Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I am now running two tokens in my Pike. I compared my bike before the change with a mate on an identical Reign with the Tokens - he was plusher without bottoming out. Much better! Bizkit031 and Hairy 2
Skott5 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 That happened to me once too - I added some more air as I was well under the recommended pressure and so far so good... I'm running 30% sag, so pressure is right. Going to add a token.
Skylark Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Nah, old school 2011 / 2012 (Not sure now) or something 26'er Stumpy Sorry, I accidentally clicked on add pics ........What is the blacklite command post like? That's what it looks like on there, or a Giant dropper?
Hairy Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 What is the blacklite command post like? That's what it looks like on there, or a Giant dropper?Running the Giant Dropper and been happy with it. Only 100mm drop though .... 2016 range Giant droppers look to be going to 100mm, 125mm or 150mm options and will also run a dual bolt design vs the current single bolt to fasten the saddle rails New dropper http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.com/images/news/2015/07/29/1438157895089-1sx9i4hjacbz5-960-540.jpg Stock on a number of 2016 mountain bike models is the new Giant Contact SL Switch dropper seatpost. With the option to run either internal (stealth) or external cable routing, the post is a wholly new design that is said to be smoother in action than its predecessors.Gone is the single-bolt side clamp, replaced by a simpler and more secure dual-bolt clamp head. A bonus of this design update is that both round and oval saddle rails can now be used.From the information given, it appears that only a 30.9mm diameter will be offered, with three length/drop options available including 350mm x 100mm, 395mm x 125mm or 440mm x 150mm.

Did a review a while ago on it, really really enjoyed the ride and feel of the suspension. I would say more Trail vs "Enduro" .... but deep down inside I know that bike can definitely run a 160mm fork and will do very well.
Brett Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Ok cool thanks!I wont be upping the travel until I find its limits. Or atleast my limits haha.Hopefully pop the dropper post in this weekend! RockCoach 1
