The new bike is coming and will be supplied with a Fox Float 140 CTD. Just wondering what other options of fork are around after having a CTD switch flicked to D by some undergrowth on a descent - just when I didn't want it to happen!
I've checked RS Pikes and Revs. Both look like good options but only come in white for the models I want. They just won't look right on a black frame.
Any others?
Around 535mm a2c and preferably black. No need for switches and dials, I tend to fit and forget.

Travel reduced solo air pikes? ( all black) my set turned up on first just before I left for holiday, so not had a chance to fiddle with them yet.

switched to C you mean.

You could retrofit a remote and skip the cable or file the offending switch off.

fwiw, i've been on ctd forks since May 2012.. never had any unwanted dial adjustment by foliage or other outside sources... just bad luck for you perhaps ?

I've got a set of 650b revelations in black. I'd be happy to swap plus some cash my end. They are on my Kona Explosif at the moment. Spec on the Kona site.

Magura have a good range of forks, and if they are half as good as the Thors I'm running then they will put a smile on your face 🙂
