Rockshox Pike RCT3 140mm **46mm offset**15mmX100
$500 CADLOW OFFSET Rockshox RCT3 pike for sale. 15mmX100 NON BOOST. One and half seasons of use, regular lower oil changes, with one full overhaul at Fluid Function in Squamish last fall. Completely updated SKF internals (new style seal head), wipers, etc...
190mm (7.5inch) or steerer length
Cosmetic blemishes as seen in the pictures (rubbed decal from falling off a wood skinny), little chips on the matte crown paint, and one very tiny chip in the black ano stanchion (smooth).
It's butter smooth and works as it should. It's set at 140mm, but 130mm air shaft will be included.
The fork has been off my bike since the Spring. I'm on DVO now, and i really don't need a spare fork kicking around....
Hit me up!

Ask Us Anything: DVO Suspension - Finished
@bryson-dvo: The 46mm offset was the Pike 29er that came on the Process 111 last year. Even as off as a 150mm fork was on that bike, the trail just made it work. Performance wise the DVO is fantastic. As with most new Diamond owners, I had to check my front tire pressure a few times just to be sure haha.
Looking forward to the upgrade, THANK YOU ;-)

Ask Us Anything: DVO Suspension - Finished
@bryson-dvo: Are there options for my Diamond in the offset department? I went from a Pike 46mm to the Diamond @ 51mm. I do prefer the steering of the lower offset on my Smuggler. Are 27.5 CSU's compatible?

DT Swiss XM 1501 Spline One 29 Wheels - Review
If the decals aren't in your taste you could build this equivalent wheelset (more or less) out of their catalog of parts for a bit cheaper (if you laced then yourself), if you go the German online retailer route. And you can choose 6 bolt and J bend if you so desire;-)

Whyte S-150 Carbon RS - Review
If you guys and girls want to experiment a little I'm pretty sure the RS Pike CSU for 27.5 will work with the 29er (I think they share the same part #for the 46mm offset). It's not the low offset of these new bikes, but can calm your short travel bike down a bit. I had a 46mm Pike at 150mm on my Smuggler, and it DOES carve better than the DVO that is on there now. It's not like you can light a cigarette while you drop into the garbonzo, but the stability can be felt. Now to find out if I can get a 27.y CSU for my 29er Diamond 8-)

SRAM Introduces New Roam 60 Carbon Wheels
Can any wheel builders tell me what the benefit of 4x is? Why can't these big guys just build a normal wheel set. Suck it up and sell us in the fact that 32 spokes are where it's at and it's OK to just squeak over the 1800 gram mark for a 29er. SRams previous RAIL set was absolutely garbage if you shred your 29er hard, unless you like to ovalize your rims and wait 2 months for that special low spoke count rim to show up.

Santa Cruz Hightower LT - First Ride
I don't know a single HT owner that runs their fork in 150mm (I know several, it's North Van...they are everywhere!). They are all at 160mm. Sooooo.....that seat angle?
