Cap, if you're not dead set on the Pike, I'm selling my Fox Float 36 RLC...(for cheap cheap... ;) ). Maybe an option.

 

I think Cap needs a 650B fork IIRC

At the moment, a Trance sixer with a Revelation up front.

 

cool thx. Cap, if you're listening the Pike will look better on a T275. :ph34r:

I agree completely with that paragraph. I definitely felt the extra weight vs my Revelation, but then there's also a lot less flex with the Float. Going through e.g. rock gardens at speed you definitely have a lot more confidence with the 36. It's really in the gnarly stuff where you start appreciating a bit of extra weigth/stiffness.

Ok cool.. that was a bit a a comparison between pike not the rev... was throwing spanners for cap,as this guy was saying pike stiffer then 20mm rev but the fox or lyrik still better on big stuff..although they say if they could put the new pike damper in the lyrik it would be sick.. but new pike lowers assymetrical.. then guys want some wizrdry of putting 27.5 pike damper in 26 lyrik :lol:
