Just thought I would give everyone a heads up there seems to be some bargain rockshox forks on amazon.co.uk at the moment. I have just ordered some 140mm solo air 29er pikes for £294.31. As usual with amazon it does seem a bit hit and miss for a bargain (very little in 27.5) I noticed that the had some 120mm 29er Rebas for £159.
Hope this helps someone and sorry if I got the bargain that you wanted.
There's an 80mm Bluto there for ~£210! 😯

Or another more ambiguous Bluto for £161

That second one is just the stearer, crown and uppers n0b0dy0ftheg0at
Ooooooh. Anyone know if that bluto'll lengthen? Some just need an air rod hingmy replacement...
Very very close to buying some Sids...
I ordered a pike, but I will believe it when I see it. Thanks for letting us know.
They've got some SID RCT3's for £240 as well.
Almost worth buying them as spares 😀

Mine should hopefully be here Monday so I will update this thread when they land.
Cheers op, new 26" Sid Rct3 on the way! Very cheap (relatively)
stock levels are nonsense?
Wouldn't ship to my address for some reason?
Anyone know if I can use these:
To convert my Yari into a Lyrik (or at least make it a Yari with a charger damper).
Can't find these! Link available?
P-jay, pretty much definite you can put that in a yari to get almost a lyric. My Pike CSU died on holiday so I am putting the charger damper in my new yari. Probably worth keeping the yari damper though as two of our group had the charger damper fail on them.
Prices have gone up a bit.
Is it like the Shoes thread where Jonathon will be mailing everyone soon?
Well at least these were stocked by and sold by Amazon, so less likely to be a price error/cancel situation.
There were a few cheap prices, but all 29er or 26er and mostly the 29er were 51mm offset (which I have no idea about).
I just got a dispatched email. 🙂 I will believe it when I'm holding it.
AlexSimon - Membermostly the 29er were 51mm offset (which I have no idea about).
Gary Fisher/Trek's G2 geometry is 51mm offset and it turned out to work really well so essentially everything else is copying it now. (have to admit, I was really convinced the 51mm offset on my 34s was making a difference til I checked my Pikes and realised they were 51mm offset too.)
I just got a dispatched email.
+1
apparently I've got 1 set of forks out for delivery, cut off seems to be 9pm, seems unlikely
Apparently, I've got some 29er My16 Rebas coming tomorrow for the princely sum of £143 including pump and service kit - seems ok to me. Will see if they turn up
......nothing delivered
Mine have dispatched apparently
I think I'm missing something. All of the above links take me to the American site.
Well, mine have just been delivered. They are in original Rockshox box with Pump and Seals, 2016 my Diffusion Black,all as described.
Result.
They are me too. I just did a search for rockshox foks on the UK site and then filtered by 'prime' and saw some of the prices being talked about (you have to click on lots of model options to find the cheap varients). I don't have a 29er or 26er any more though so pretty useless.Sponging-Machine - MemberI think I'm missing something. All of the above links take me to the American site.

Bluto's at just over £200 would have been irresistable.
Can't find anything like that, though...

+1 for what i bought, feel like I've robbed someone 😆 Amazons pricing is crackers - great PSA OP 8)
Did anyone grab those cheap 80mm Bluto?
Northwind?
Nice to see some got their bargains, good job OP!
Nah, I'd just started looking for some cheap used 29er XC forks to go with my horrendous £100 chinese carbon frame, so [i]obviously[/i] I bought some brand new RCT3 Sids.
They just arrived 18:00 on a Sunday. Thanks flee5, you are the man!

Glad that I helped some of you out.
Just waiting for mine to arrive now should be with me tomorrow.
Link to those pikes? Just had a look and can't find them, have I missed the boat?
You are a few days to late......
Story of my life.
Maybe I'm just cynical but...
Cheers for the PSA.
Thanks for the PSA, bought the last Bluto which has just been delivered 😀
Now I've got to work out how to sneak a fatbike past the boss....
That's a bloody cheap Pike! I paid twice that! Good spot!
DrP
MikeG - I've an on-one trail fatty frame I'm looking to sell - few bits to go with it too (Hope BB, seatclamp, headset, Giant dropper post that's 5 rides old).
wwaswas - that could work 🙂 I've sent you an email
Reverbs for £96 in 34.9mm flavour too. Have Amazon just dine a Planet X and bought up a load of bankrupt stock?
Imagine being that guy at Rockshox.
"So we've made 100000 Reverbs for 34.9 seattubes"
"Dude... You know the number on the seatclamp isn't the same as the bore of the seattube, right?"
"Is it not?"
(I know there's some 34.9 seattubes out there but, not many...)
