Yes, I believe you can. Think they are about 80 quid.0
-
Could i do it with rockshox recon 335?0
-
Yes, I am 90% sure you can. though I will look into it. Expensive upgrade. I'd conside selling what you have and getting a new fork (maybe lighter too)0
-
Would be around £410
-
Cool what parts would i need and how would i do it?0
-
Here is a question,probably for Nick,what size is the snap ring that fits on top of the lockout/compression adjuster,mine was a bit stretched last oil change,and needs replacing.0

I have just had the motion control cartridge fitted to my Pike by my LBS
it came as an upgrade kit with remote lockout for £95 + £20 to fit
Its transformed the fork its really, really good now, super buttery smooth and with the remote lockout now climbing on tarmac and general road riding is soo much beter
It was an expensive upgrade but well worth it and still cheaper then buying new forks

Surely it already had MoCo as IIRC all pikes have it be they poploc or not, and you've spent £115 to get the remote lockout...0
-
There is a non MC version on some OE pikes. I think the Spesh Pitch has one.0
-
aaaaa, okay, then yes. It's a very good upgrade...

I bought someones damaged Tora 318 Uturn off ebay for 10 quid (he had knocked the steerer out ofr some bizarre reason). So put the spring and damper in my old Tora!0

And get spare lowers and seals ;-)0

Yes i have a Specialized Pitch comp. The pro model had the motion control and a Fox RP2
So I have had the motion control put in the Pike and upgraded the X-fusion to an RP2 and Its all still cost less then buying the pro (which i didnt like the colour of)

Ah I thought so!
My memory for specs is rather sad isn't it?!0 -
So can i do this to rockshox recon 335's?0
-
Yes, for about the same cost.0
-
Blimey expensive lol where would i get such items?0
-
Fisher Outdoor are the RS importer.0
-
looked on the website cant fine them anywhere0

You'd be better off sending the fork to TF Tuned and getting it PUSH tuned for £120.
It dials out the fork's tendency to choke in the high speed rebound phase and pack down which makes it feel harsh. And they size the bushings to make the fork travel smoother and plusher.
They spec it on the Pike ATM, but IIRC the Revelation and 130mm Recons have the same rebound shaft, and the PUSH piston should fit them all. You get a factory tuned better performing fork for £5 more than a poploc.
If you really want the floodgate, they can supply and fit a MoCo cart at the same time.It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.0 -
Ok cheers guys i may invest in that :P0
