Rock Shox Pike 454 Quick ?

gbrnole

About to have some Rock Shox Pike 454 Air U-turns fitted and need to know if these forks have some form of hose guide on them for the front disc?

My fox's have a hose guide built in, old recon's had nothing so I had to get an 'm-part hose guide' - will I need another one of these for the Pikes?

Nick, I checked the manual and didn't find anything about it - only relating to the poploc cable guide and that wasn't overly clear.

What sort of hose guide is it on the pike's?

black plastic thing and a sticky pad and a zip tie and some caseted bumps on the back of the arch.

what nick said, or like i have had to do;

clear plastic fork protector, then hose ziptied between the little lugs on the crown.

and BTW, ace choice on forks. and be patient, as they are air forks, they take a while to bed in. My air 454s took a while, and they are in a class of their own now.

Thanks for the info guys.

I was after the Lyrik 2 steps but just so damn expensive and i've read great reviews about the Pikes. Spent a good couple of grand building this bike up so anywhere I can save money & still have a great product is welcome.
