26" DJ fork - which one?

[Litenbror]

Yeah another +1 for cycling deal I have picked up plenty from them and always quick to post and honest if there is a problem.

Bummer. BTW is that Cycling Deal OK to deal with? They also have the Manitous that people are recommending.

Most of this was built from cyclingdeals. Fairly quick with most of it. Took a while for the frame though

Would a set of 26 revs be of any interest?

Or there's a set of straight steerer lyriks on bookface I know of if you want something chunkier?

Sorry dude, I did. But I was busy at the time and I did my usual thing, forgot to go back to it. Incoming!

I wouldn't use revalations on a DJ bike honestly. They are built for AM riding, so they Don't have the compression valving for Jumping (Will blow through travel every time) and with the low speed comp wound on all the time the MoCo damper will fail very quickly.
Maybe if you put a manitou compression assembly into it... https://www.shockcraft.co.nz/abs-circus-expert-damper-kit-manitou.html

IF it's the early model Revs they will fall apart in no time, better off finding some cheap DJ Marzocchi's with the 20mm axle.

Find some old 36 floats and slam them?

Really? What's going to fall apart? And how much difference would there be in the old revs and the old pikes? (Genuine question, I figured them for a very similar fork)

The revs he's grabbing from me are old U-turn dual air.

The lyriks I had offered to me were old coil U-turn, definitely a stronger fork and can be slammed too.


@T-Rex if you're having any doubts of any kind let me know. I haven't boxed them up yet, and I can shoot you back the money as soon as it hits if you want.

They'll flex like hell to start with and they're not made for continuously bottoming out, wrong damper, air springs weren't the strongest, old pikes had wider bushing at the top too. Might be ok for a beginner or a light weight, I've used a set of old Revs back in the day for trail riding but dirt jumping is quite different to trail riding, the fork is getting pounded all the time and you nearly always fuck up and have a big bottom out.
