Me rida my bicycle Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I think even pushed up to 130mm travel up front should be fine and please put a picture on when done! It's going to be a sweeeeet ride!
WesleyR Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 How will that Pike shock affect the handling as the current Scalpel Si uses the Lefty with 50mm offset?
Sidmouth Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 Ironically I bought a 120MM 51mm offset, so it 5mm extra to the standard offset.so it should be ok, It may look a bit weird and one of a kind

Formallyknownas Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 You haven't ridden a Pike have you? Try it and you will understand....I don't for a second doubt the performance or feel of the Pike. I ask because I was under the impression the Pike caters more to the AM/Trail/#enduro orientated rides. Ergo... RS1 or SID wc for the scalpel SI...Thanks though...

Thank you.
MarcBurger Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Nothing wrong with a Lefty spork, they're flipping amazing.+1 on the unique bike build though. Pike it!
Sidmouth Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 at 98KG skinny 100MM forks dont work that well for me
Headshot Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 at 98KG skinny 100MM forks dont work that well for meSecret here is they dont actually work as well as a decent 34/35/36 fork for anybody, regardless of their weight :-)
