£213 for a Pike select+ utter madness 😯 😯

Cheers for that.
Kind of make up for getting that pro5 in 27.5". Im sure I can now pick up a pro5 27.5" front and complete the set.

NOTE TO SELF - STOP IT. You've bought enough 🙄

Ta. My dilemma was that I'd just bought a pair of Rival ones!

Looks desperate.

Paid on credit card just in case.

"26 27.5 ain't dead", it's just having a rest while all the shops offload their unsold stock.

I'll take that back if anyone can find a set of similarly bargainous 29er forks so I can upgrade my hardtail!

You just missed out(as did I) on some Fox 38 factory 29ers that were going for £620. Though you could have gotten an extra 15% off that bringing them down to £527.

But theres been a run of these type of serious savings so its really just a matter of waiting till the next PSA and being decisive.

seem to get different results if you change ordering hign/low/newest, also scroll right to bottom and more products appear, seriously good fizik prices https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/winter-clearance/?sort=final_price%3Adesc

Those pikes do seem cheap, my lad has a pair of slightly tatty 2015 vintage Pike RTC on his orange five and aside from a new hub, these would slot in...but what might be the implications of a differing offset?

Also, are we really at the stage where 27.5 is nigh on obsolete?* That does seem a mad price and might be worth buying just in case..

Mine and my son's are both 27.5. Daughter has a 27.5+ and Mrs Rock has a 27.5 hybrid. I need to clearly get with the programme.

This 2x GRX600 chainset for £30 seems very cheap too.

Didn't get one as I don't need one, but I did get a CX season insurance Rival 1x rear mech for £34 which is a very decent price. https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sram-rival-22-rear-derailleur-long-cage/

I've got the 2014 era Pikes with the RCT3 charger 1 damper and a debonair spring, can anyone with experience of both speak to whether there's much of an upgrade to be found going to the pike select+ above with the newer chassis, damper and spring, albeit lower spec RC damper?

Or just save the cash and treat mine to a pro service perhaps.

I had those older Pikes and now have a Select+ on my trail bike, the newer fork has a more comfy air spring and better damping.

It's just as good as the Ultimate level RS forks I've had TBH.

The Pikes are out of stock I think.

Picked up some nice looking carbon aero road bars and WTB Horizons for £12 each! They have WTB Byways for the same price.

So kind! 🙂

Curiously when I refresh the page it says out of stock briefly then goes back to "10 available"

I ran a GRX600 chainset with a 10sp chain, no issues at all.

Probably the same ring on the 800 series, or close enough.

Halo 650b x 47c gravel tyres at £9 each on there too.

Got a couple to go with the bargain carbon gravel wheels I got off them last week.

Yeah, one for the aforementioned shifters, another for some bar tape. Both showing as pending.

I was hoping for Revs for my 29er at that price but it just seems to be old fashioned 650B 😉

Anyone received anything yet ?. I've read somewhere Ribble can be a bit slow in getting orders out.

The Pikes have been removed from the list, so I guess that means those are sold out. My order has 'Processing Promised' attached to it, so I think thats good and it will eventually go through, plus I ordered them pretty much soon as the psa was posted.

Some very good deals on there, I hope people get what they've ordered.

Anyone used one of those droplets before?
Would seem ideal for my son's bike, but a bit concerned his weight won't move it!

I was also considering one of the cheap droppers. Does anyone know the length from the bottom of the seatpost collar to the saddle rail?

Let me know when you want to join me in the slight panic over whether or not your GPS, lights and whatever else you need are going to fit them

Looks like enough width in the middle? Usually they’d put bottom mounts for a GPS otherwise.

Missed out on the Pikes - not that I need any lol
Although for £128 the Revs are a decent buy!
Are the WTB byways worth a punt at £12/each?

I was tempted, but thankfully I don't think my Ritchey C260 stem would go over them, that and it already makes me itch that the stem and seatpost don't match, I couldn't deal with the bars not either.

That's what I'm pinning my hopes on. Think I've found a photo of them actually on a bike, so hopefully all good

Yes!
I've tried the Byway and the Horizon and they're both good tyres.

Yes agreed, I wanted the Pikes to replace my (old) Lyriks but I ordered the Revs, even if I don't use them.

Just taken a punt on £30 GRX chainset, now I guess I'll have to spend hundreds more on the rest of the groupset to take the Fargo from 3x10 cable discs to 2x11 hydraulic.

If anyone missed the cheap Force AXS shifters at Ribble, they're heavily discounted in the R2-Bike sale.

They're 120 Euro each including delivery which works out about £105. They've not got stock but are saying 8-12 days to deliver.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Picked-up a GRX810 crankset, bottom bracket and WTB Byway 650b 47c tyres for a Kona Dew that needs to go on a diet - just the ticket, and at mucho bargainous prices. 🙂

Well, they’ve arrived, eventually.

packaging somewhat sub optimal…

OEM kit, all in plastic bags, no retail packaging…

That looks fairly shit @tomhoward.

Doubt all that damage was caused by courier?

Still waiting for them to send the pikes I ordered. Sat processing_picking since yesterday.

Could have been, the box is loads bigger than what’s inside so wouldnt have been hard to crush, but has also been used before, as it has loads of other labels on it for gatorskins…

Mine arrived yesterday and are spot on although the decals are different to those pictured. Box was also sub optimal but there's no damage to the fork.

Some good bits on there. I wish I had seen the grx600 double chainset earlier as its out of stock now but the single GRX810 is still available but I've got a double set up.

GRX single chain set arrived and fitted.  Mine was well packaged with bubble wrap and decent box. OEM as expected at that price.

Those carbon bars…couldn’t resist. Hope they got my stem etc. think my trace r will probably fit - although might need a different mount? Not a clue on my Moon vortex / meteor etc. Doubt my out front garmin mount (boardman branded one that came with a light) will fit but I do have a stem top cap garmin mount sat on my workbench so could always use that. £39 for carbon bars that weigh 190g and have internal routing is ridiculous.

I tried to chase up my order using their online chat - after about an hour I was told they're experiencing 4-5 day delays.
