Trying to order a air shaft 160mm for these A1 Pikes (new Debonair design) and have been told that SRAM Oz have none in stock & won't expect new stock until early fucking May!
What the fucking fuck??? Geoblocking get fucked.
Anyone got a 29er 160mm shaft they want to sell me? Has to be for the early model Pikes. Debonair can get stuffed.

But sorted now.

Oh right, you just said "debonair can get stuffed" so I thought you had a preference against the debonair.

I think there’s been a run in Debonair, that’s all.
Pre debonair with a luftkappe I hear is better than the debonair. Could be an internet rumour though.

We likely all have spare RS air shafts lying about. We need to expose our wares!

I only saw this one now and it might suit but haven't check it yet.
If I open the shed door then have to spend all day knee deep in bike pr0n picking up Fat Chance Ti frames, Marzocchi Monster T's, GT Psyclones and SC prototypes. That is what I like to think anyhow.................

How bloody good is cyclinic.

Absolutely. They keep a lot of parts in stock, their prices are not crazy and the express delivery is express delivery. The jelly beans are also a nice touch!

Ripmo v2 take two.
160mm Debonair air shaft, still with -1.5 headset.
That’s better - more balanced front to rear & better stack height. With the 51mm offset fork there’s wheel flop on firm surfaces but that fades on loose. And front traction is almost limitless, plus you can really ride the front end on the steeps.
Climbing, it’s verging on insane! I simply cannot understate how well this bike climbs, no matter how janky or steep or loose it is. I honestly believe it climbs better than the Tallboy. Seating position, riding position, traction, even on a Minion SS.
Now to decide if I will be sticking with the -1.5 or going back to 0. HA measures at 64.2 now, OEM is 65.9. I can live with the 64.2 but maybe I could make it even livelier.
I reckon there’ll be another chapter...

Looks a lot more balanced with the 160mm airshaft in now. I like the weight-concious build you've done with this, would be so playful.
Tempted to de-anodise the rebound knob?
