 A year on and I have change a few things on my initial build, out goes the HOPE PRO2 5.1 wheelset, M4 brakes, Kenda Nevagals to be replaced by custom HOPE PRO3 SPAM 4 on Flows with Conti M-Kings which I will hopefully run tubeless + red TECH M4 brakes. Also had the shock pushed, the stock shock started to click regularly (worse with PP on) after about 3-4 months riding, gradually got worse - turned out to be famous Fox build quality and a poor fitting glide ring, anyways replaced with PUSH bits so should be sorted, haven't ridden it yet so hopefully it will cure the lack of comp + rebound control aswell, initial play ride suggests a more controlled and endless feel to the rear travel. This will probably make the PIKE feel rubbish, and then I'll have to spend more money getting that pushed. Never ends!!! |

Sorry TFTR, missed this question, I printed them myself, I have a few bits of trick printing equipment at my disposal at work. Design is custom for the Pike, I'm working on some for a Fox 40 at the moment for a client that will be used at EuroBike on their stand.
