 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I have a set of pikes (2015 RCT3) and set them up in fully open mode running the same piece of track over and over. They work well but I have found that in open mode they feel like they are diving in the corners so tended to leave them in trail mode which gives me more "platform". A friend mentioned I might try adding more bottomless tokens to the fork, they currently have one in.
In both modes I get near max travel occasionally but don't bottom them out. They run we over most trains except for that one issue.
I am 178cm tall and weigh 65kg.
What are people's thoughts please? Will tokens hell or is something else I need to try. Thankd
I'm no expert but have a look at the tons of previous threads on here about set up and advice on pike set up. 2 tokens do help keep you higher in the travel if that's what your after. Give it a try.
Look at the token setup guide (wheel & travel specific) add one over standard as you're pretty light.

Thanks I will have a go.
how much sag are you running? increase psi by 5 and try again.
Interesting to hear you mention that Loco. So at 64kg on 150s I should probably give 3 tokens a go?
I had one token in my 150's at 77kg with about 23-25% sag, 3 would be too much unless you are doing huge jumps etc
Yes I'd try it, obviously drop the pressure a few psi to compensate.
As mentioned above the guide is wheel size and travel specific, so one persons settings aren't really applicable to someone else, low speed compression setting will also have an affect on the dive on the brakes for EG. (reckon on starting at 4 clicks from full off on LSC btw 😉 )

Cheers, will give it a go. Already at 4 clicks from off, so will shove in the spacer (drop a few PSi) and take it from there
On the money as always Simon! Third spacer worked a treat!
Excellent 😀
Added the extra token on Saturday, dead easy job and rode it yesterday and immediately noticed a difference in fly open mode, it feels much better.
Thanks for your help guys.
