After an adjustable fork to fit to my slackline hardtail, with something like 150-120, adjustability. Crucial thing is I want the performance to be the same at each travel setting i.e. the lower setting can be used as much as the higher setting not just for climbs.
Whats out there?
my post has no friends 🙁
Probably Dual position pikes, but they're not a good as the solo air pikes and not adjustable with air token either.
Could you set fixed travel forks at 140mm or 130mm and benefiot from better performance?
Possibly, I'd be after 140mm max though and Pikes are 150mm as standard.
I do use the travel adjust on my u-turn sektors quite a bit - 130mm for general riding, 140mm for more hooning and 120mm at the BMX track or on the road.
What I'd really like is some coil U-turn Pikes... Maybe I should stick with the sektors for now and resist the urge for newer shinier forks.
Uturn springs are still available for sektors in some weights, so that might be a possible conversion
These fox 36 Talas in the classifieds have me temped -

but I have heard mixed reviews about the talas system (and fox in general...)
I was going to say an second hand u-turn fork but if you already have one ... Why not get the Sektor internals upgraded to Revelation spec?
The Pikes can also be reduced down to 140mm by machining the air spring down by 10mm. Loco can help you out with that.
I used to have a 36 Talas RC2, it did work pretty well on all travel settings. Much better than the newer 36 R I had a couple of bikes later.
Lyrik used to come in U-turn variety too didn't it?
