I have a 3cm long scratch on the stauntion of my 120mm pike. I bought the fork off crc for $650. It only has about 20hrs of riding on it.
A new csu is going to set me back about $600. I am not mechanically capable, so this includes fitting, cutting etc.
Obviously the repair is one option but for $300 more I get a complete new pike from the Germans.
I could ride it until it explodes?
I could replace it with a trace or yari cheaper?
I could switch out to a fox 34?
If I get a new pike I'm guessing the 2014 model won't be good for spares, with the new one. So would people buy it with the scratch or is it scrap?
What have or would others do in this situation?
