Bargain buys thread

[moorey]

Happy to be corrected - the grey tokens work with everything, the reds are Pike only, suggesting the Pike has slightly thinner stanchion walls as you said originally... I wonder how the air shafts are cross compatible then - the o-rings must be able to handle the variation?

That I can’t say.
Maybe thinner at top only? Pure speculation on my part. More likely the o-ring as you say.

Then add the vorsprung fractive and luftkappe and the performance improvement will blow your mind.

Did a bit of reading I don't need RCT3 on the Lyriks. I only want them for sending.

Now maybe need to sell the pikes before wife cottons on to many forks being in the house.....

Luftkappe as well as the EVOL you say?

Yeah I have 2016 and added the evol when took them out to 150mm. Luftkappe was an improvement over that again.

As mentioned I am happy to help with people’s recent impulse purchase on the Lyriks. Think of me as a cheap therapist

There are still $400 ones avaialbke on mtbdirect. I know not $250 but that's still cheap

Essentially $300 posted...buy still a super bargain. Wish I could help you, @Switch

$300 posted? Do you mean if you sell your existing fork?

All good Moorey just throwing it out there. The 15mm axle means a new wheel as well hence looking for the cheapest option. Actually if Link gave me his forks it would be like paid therapy and he would be less likely to re-offend I could become a public service for all those burners suffering N+1

My existing fork?

Just meant that they were about $275 plus $25 post.
On MTBD they are $400 but posted free, so not such a great difference.

Ahh. I understand. Not free freight though. The cheapest option was $18. Not expensive but not free as they're a "bulky item". Unless I missed out somehow?

 

[moorey]

Hmmm...usually free shipping over $100 from MTBD, I thought.

Pfft. A fork has never incurred that before.

Maybe it's forks over 150mm....

 

[moorey]

Maybe it's forks over 150mm....

It wasn’t adding a shipping fee when I tested...right up to the point of making the payment...which I wasn’t keen to do. Only a roob pays more than $300 for new lyriks.

 

[Flow-Rider]

They're not shipping barrels of goon Dman, they're only MTB forks.

 

[Boom King]

Shipping due to them being sold on an eBay listing. They drop price but add shipping. Mine were $280.01 shipped.
