Just after some quick opinions from some other RS Pike owners out there.
I have 120mm travel 2014 Pikes on my Specialized Camber 29. The camber comes with the basic model pike (RC1 I think) so only has compression adjustment at the top of the right leg, and rebound on the bottom. Problem is - the compression adjustment doesn't appear to do a damn thing. Whether I have it wound right out, or whether it's all the way to the (padlock) end of the setting - no difference that I can feel.
I took it back to the shop and they initially told me it was my setup - i didn't have enough air (really?!). Then another guy in the shop looked at and said, yeah, that's not right - so they sent my forks away to SRAM. Two weeks later, forks came back and compression adjustment still does NOTHING. The guy at the shop said that SRAM rebuilt them and fully tested them and they are as they should be. None of this seems right to me, if there is an adjuster on a fork that has a little padlock icon on it, it should really lock out shouldn't it?
So - can any other PIKE owners please tell me - does your compression adjustment make any noticeable difference?
I just wanna see what other peoples experience is with this fork before i go hassle the shop again.
cheers.
