Well the pikes are sick but i was wondering what would be the best fork to get, doesnt matter the price.
if price isnt a problem get a marz 4x lightest fork out there


Sounds good man, I herd they have a werid feel to them though.
no clue never tried one. i was going to get a new fork and wheels for my bike i was looking at that fork but it was just as much as the retail on the 318 with out my discount. so i decided im buying a new bike.

you need to buy a conversion kit and tensioner. either buy DMR or GUSSET(they're both similar quality, but gusset is cheaper). remove draileur and gear shifters, with allen key and pull out all the cables. put a chainwhip around the cassettes and remove it with tool and spanner(tool available from halfords for like £5). slide on the singlespeed. put on the lockring with the tool and spanner. then put the tensioner on the mech hangar with allen key. take some links from the chain until its short enough. put the wheel and the chain back on ajust the tensioner (which is pretty obvious how to do) and your sorted.

PHENOMENAL The RC3 Damper cartridge is amazing on short travel forks. I don't know what retail price is.
