Going to get a lighter chain, just got this one as a temp. And maybe an Avid Elixer CR as the lever on this Shimano is quite big and almost hits the top tube.

I got these for £350 brand new and lowered them, that's about £175 off the retail price.

how much travel are they stock?

150mm and they come with 2 20mm spacers in the box, so you'll still have to get a All Travel Spacer kit to get it lower. It's also very easy to lower, I thought it would be pretty hard but it wasn't.

Why the revelation? Super sick build btw.

Because its light like an XC race fork, and still strong like an All Mountain fork - Im guessing. Ive experimented with 80mm reba SL forks before - very light and nicely stiff, but not as strong as revelations.

flag moleman (Oct 31, 2009 at 14:52)
Yep pretty much ahah. It only weighs 3.85lbs and is actually really stiff, as I've got a load of extra lapping stanchions and the fork has the power bulges, 20mm axle and a fairly beefy looking crown.

Revos are plenty strong. I run a Reba Team Dual Air 20mm lowered to 100mm on my Blur 4X.

I just cummed a little. Only complaint would be the fork. I would imagine that revs are even flexier than pikes

Not in the slightest, My Revs feel much stiffer then my Pikes.

really? maybe rockshox is stepping up their game a little then

Well this revelation does have the Power Buldges and a redesigned crown/lowers which looks strong enough to me.

i think i know were you got these from. rutlandcycling? on good olde ebay? im considerind getting some for my usb and lowering them to 80mm so they should be like super stiff. but my main concern is weather they would hold up on the streets

flag moleman (Nov 5, 2009 at 9:45)
Yep rutlandcycles off Ebay. I think they would hold up just fine for street, I'd use them.

flag moleman (Nov 5, 2009 at 11:17)
Yeah sure. The Maxle is plenty strong enough and so is the crown.

how do these frames ride? as i really want a short travel bike, handle dh well?

flag moleman (Nov 6, 2009 at 8:48)
They are amazing to jump. And the suspension platform does ride well on DH, but I don't think it's worth having a frame like this is DH is want you wan to be doing on it.

flag bikerboywill (Nov 6, 2009 at 8:57)
yeah wicked, didnt make my self clear atall there Razz i dont want to ride dh atall but would like to ride it in the woods to do everything. So seems pretty good frame, what travel are you running up front?

flag moleman (Nov 6, 2009 at 9:54)
Ah right well it's an amazing all rounder bike. I'm running 100mm up front and the fork's a2c is about 475mm which is perfect.

flag bikerboywill (Nov 6, 2009 at 10:04)
475mm ehhh, hmm if i get a pair of these for capital and lower them to 40mm they would be about right. cheers for the info!!
