Fvck UPS, might need to pic a new fork.

So I had EPed a Pike 454 Air u-turn for my .243 and UPS lost it, and even worse is that Quality is out of them for over a month. So, what the heck should I put on it if I cant get another one of these. Basically, the bike will be used for street/park and some DJ. I am pushing 200lbs and like to do good sized drops and want this bike for all around use. I liked the fact that the Pike is 110-150 travel and has a 20mm axel.

if you like the 110mm - 150mm and dont mind paying for it, you might want to look at the fox 36 talas

I say another model Pike. I own a 36 and for trail riding it's perfect but it's really linear and I wouldn't want to run it for DJ/Street/FR. Another cheap short term option would be a Marzocchi DJ that's older and used until you can get the fork you really want.

I am at the point where I might get a DJ1 and flip it when I get my Pike. I love the Talus 36, but it is not the right fork for me on this bike.

gold label??? old flick??

[skurfer333]

if you're 200lbs and doing "good sized drops" i'm thinking an air fork might not be the way to go. I'd look into a sherman anything or possibly a DJ as long as you're comfortable with the stiff suspension. I just put one of the new Gold Labels on my dirt jump/urban bike and I absolutely love it, but its definitely stiff and isn't very forgiving if you nose-case a lip like a trail fork is.

I say get an old Dirt Jumper and then wait till you can get a Pike 426 Coil U-turn 90-140mm. It can be lowered further and it's stronger.
