hi guys

i got a set of pikes rct3 160mm 650b forks, iv noticed there at the top of the travel theres about a 10mm movement which makes a knocking feel. one of my mates has the same problem too just wondered if this is normal?

iv had a little google and read the some yanks sent them back under warranty.
just seems odd to me that all the forks are 160mm...
i had a sb75 with 150mm pikes and they felt spot on

I've had 3pairs of 160s now, they all do it.
Hows the new bike?

Mine did the same until I played with the pressures. I think it's the negative air balancing out against the positive, which causes the top out.

It's normal and nothing to worry about.
