Haven't seen this one shared - direct links so you don't have to navigate the damn awful new website. Both 29er, both 140mm.

I've got some Select+ arriving tomorrow... I've been riding a pair of Select+ on my Nicolai since a previous PSA on here about two years ago and they're great. New set to go on my hardtail in place of some Yaris.
I also got some Select+ two years back and have spent those two years regretting not buying two pairs, one to replace the Revelations on the other bike. So that's that sorted now, cheers 🙂
Can you extend these to 160mm?
I do not need new forks. I do not need new forks

I’ve had two sets of revs in the recent past but my new hardtail came with a pike select. I agree they’re miles better.

If they're the same as the Pike Select+ I bought in the last PSA, then yes. Just checked RS Trailhead using 47T93614185 (my current Pikes) and a 160 shaft is listed.
Personally I'd want the Lyrik chassis at 160mm though. Someone posted a PSA on Lyriks very recently, Alpkit outlet on eBay I think?

/blockquote>That description is rather BASIC isn't it!? Doesn't even say what year - and I'm sure the decals are the Charger 2.1 type rather than the 2023 Charger 3.. but hey, a damn bargain if they are the 3s
Does anyone know the offset on these, need 51mm which is becoming increasingly rare?
need 51mm
Need or happens to have been the in vogue offset when your frame was designed?

fair point I guess, love how bike handles and just don't want to do anything to mess it up! Maybe wouldn't be able to tell difference.

Eh what's the difference?

Well you might need the offset for say giant feet and toe overlap. Or you might need it like you need red grips.
Sure it makes a difference but it really doesn't make a big difference unless you're very sensitive to these things. The stated offset for a frame is about as much of a must as the brand of fork you should fit, it's just going to be a bit different, it's not going to break anything.
A longer or shorter offset number on your geo chart is more likely to be a relic of what was available/fashionable when the frame was built than any sort of practical limitation.
My Select+ arrived yesterday, 42mm offset. Already dropped the lower legs and reassembled with the correct amount of oil. Came with two vol tokens so I’ve added a third to match the setup on the identical forks on my other bike.
Missing the decals which are supposed to be in the box, so waiting to hear back from Wiggle.
If o e was to choose between these 2 forks is the ultimate worth forking out (No pun intended) extra for the added adjustability over the select plus?
Also received mine, also without decals. I think I'll just leave them "stealth".
However, I did remember from last time that you can buy neat aftermarket decals from https://www.slikgraphics.com/shop/fork-decals-rockshox/
