Bike: 2010 Pitch Pro - Large
Fork: Pike 351 Solo Air 2010 for Secialized. 140mm. 205mm steerer.
Problem:
Last ride forks lost 85 PSI very quickly. Stayed at 50 PSI which was useless but rideable for the day just.
I have a decision to make as I suspect that i need them serviceing as only a seal i imagine would have caused such a rapid pressure loss?
1. Spend £130 all in to get them serviced.
2. Look for suitable 140mm/150mm second hand replacement that would be lighter.

Cant afford a new frame at this time so going for fresh set up is most likely out given smallish budget.

Would welcome thoughts on what people would do?

Cheers!

Other than this - do you like this fork? does it work well on this frame?

If you answered YES to either question - get them serviced and enjoy riding your bike 😀

Good point and thought of as well. Ive had no problems with it up until now however it is 6 years old now and not the lightest out there. Thinking if I went for a Rev I could save myself around a 1lb in weight almost which would lighten the front end considerably.
