I’m after a set of 120mm Pikes (or similar) after my Reba forks failing again.
Prices seem to fluctuate a lot so where am I best to look for a bargain?

Lots of bargains on eBay USA but the import tax spoils it.

Boost or non-boost?

Do they have to be 120 (eg would 130 be ok?). Could you change the air spring yourself and sell the original spring? Assuming Boost : this might open some more options.

Yup boost.
I don’t particularly want to get a different travel unless it’s a real bargain. I appreciate it can be cheaper but the cost of changing the damper may wipe it out.
Further to that I have relied on Rockshox warranty a couple of times and don’t want to risk it!

You'd only need to change the spring (~£30) rather than the damper(~£210 iirc).

Yeah, it's just the air shaft. It's a 20 minute job, if that. Remove lowers, release circlip, slide in new, shorter/loger air shaft, replace lowers. Merlin has them for about £450, but your best bet is some extensive googling / eBay trawling etc.

Thanks. Searching both but was hoping for a suggestion I hadn’t thought of

Startfitness had some on offer. Might be able to combine with one of their discount codes
