no they are the same. the drop off and dirt jumper series use the same lowers. and as you may be to ignorant to notice the drop off triple has 7 inches of travel which is teh same as his super t.

Haha, Pargyles, the biggest waste of money and time ever. Rockshox have confirmed the Pike and Argyle use the same lowers.

It's to lose weight when done with a Pike and to lose weight and add strength when done with an Argyle.

Take no as an answer and move on

If everyone did that then most innovation would never happen.

this isnt f*cking clothes or something you cant mix and match whatever you want it just doesnt work that way

It can happen though.

I say give it a try. I put a set of '99 z1 internals into a '00 z5 lower. Just make sure to keep everything in order, in case it doesn't go back together, the only thing you really lose is time. Just make sure not to cut anything.

It'll work fine as long as the foot nuts are the same size which I believe they are.

sure but the top crown/stancions/steerer is better isint it, and also I think argyle lowers are way sicker so then you basically switch the internals and uppers and you can sell the pike lower argyle upper combination for $$

It makes a hell of a lot more sense to me to run Pike lowers on Revelation uppers.

Not to mention the Rebalation is the most baller 4x fork ever. Run Reba uppers with 20mm Revelation lowers.
