    My Pikes arrived today , I damn near fell over ! Was not expecting them this soon , perfect nick apart from the serial number removed but I was expecting that. Just a bit pissed I didn't see the Lyrik for about $100 more but the Pike will do for now. Still a bargain. Sent from my SM-G900I...

    Offset Bushings.

    Has anyone tried running the offset in the opposite side therefore reducing the head angle ? I realise the forces may want to screw the bush back to the neutral side of the headtube and cause all sorts of binding but I was just wondering if anyone has tried.

    I just flicked them an email to confirm the hub size ( dunno if it will help ) the colour matches the Cube Stereo , OEM on them. I guess they are legit Pikes , just surplus. If they are boost only the Boostinator option would be bearable if they reccommended using a larger than 180mm rotor ...
