Yeah aye, that must suck, but anyways you seem cool enough
rock shox Pike? They adjust from 140mm to 95mm, perfect for DH, 4x Dj-ing, the works, not really sure on the price though...
8/10

Well just keep them on like 100mm and as soon as you hit the DH track 140mm it is

No there is barley anything to say about these forks to turn you off buying them, but the only problem my mate had with them was that he had the forks on to high of a compression rate and the forks were on 95mm and there was a 2 or so m gap and i told him to go slow but he landed right down the bottom of the downramp (flatlanded) and broke the knob that adjusts the travel. But that was just a one off.haha they seem like the way to go. any downside bout them?

Is you hub 20mm or QR? Because pikes are 20mm and theyre about $650 off crc. If you have QR id think about going x-fusion velvets, they are incredably light and decently strong. Check out diy mtb for the price, id give them 8/10.
Hope that helped.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
STP's used to come stock with pikes. Don't worry about it.

argyles hands down are awesome
Pikes thnargyle lowers. All the adjustabily but strong enough for you to bash day in day out.
By being realistic would just get some pikes. If you snapped the lowers which does happen when they ate ridden hard on dh and park bikes just replace them with argyle lowers.

pargyles = waste of money. it has been confirmed from various sources that, at least in recent years, pike and argyle lowers are the same. the only difference is the colour.
if you can, save up for the argyle RCT, its pretty much a pike but its designed to be used for dj/slopestyle. and generally you only need one fork, not a pair. sorry but its just one of those little things i cant stand.

Meh, pikes are overrated, especially for any park or street. I would like to see how the 15mm velvets go, but I fail to see the point of it, why not just use 20mm? Anyway rcts look awsome and I agree pargyles are just stupid.
