Suspended by fish.
My pike team is on.
Didn't want to put it on yet, but had to after finding a crack on the right side stanction on the fox. Didn't plan on the wheel either, the hub that was on the Mavic wound up being non convertable. So for now I have a Bontrager Big Earl Wheel on the front.
Had first ride on it already. From inital findings, it's a great fork.

For the discs, they were just what I ordered, no reason why.

KonaRider24, your bike keeps getting better and better.
So Mael, does this mean your going to convert? Come to the dark side.

What is amazing me is that the Pike at 140mm has the same axel to crown height that the fox had.

What rear hub are you running? That affects pedal lag more than a derailleur does.

So Kona, when are you going to switch to the hydraulic disc brake world? Or are you going to stay with those purple levers?
