this bike needs a new fork... my friend is choosing between a 05 Pike Race or a Marz 66RC the Pike is around 9k cheaper than the 66RC. ive looked around for reviews on mtbr.com and the Pike has a very good review. so what do u guys think? remember the fork will be installed on a hardtail.

The '05 66 is tall because they used the same lowers as the 888. now the '06 66's lowers are different from the 888. Trying to save cost and test the long travel fork i guess.
ps: pinkbike sucks!

Parang I saw this thread na sa PinkBike ah Kaw ba yun Blister? Go Pike brad, sa reviews nga it says that this fork is DAng Good. If i have the money to buy a 66 RC siguro i wud rather save some more and buy an 888RC kasi nga parang its too tall for a 7 inch SC fork. Pero di naman ako engineer / designer ng fork so i guess Marz did a great job testing this tall SC fork. Sa akin lang, if youll be hitting trails hard and doing Big stunts a DC long travel tinidor whod be much stronger coz of the extra crown support kahit may kunting dagdag n weight compared to SC fork Pag ayaw mo na sa Pike, benta mo na lang sakin na mura ah sa friend ko yung bike. he already decided on the PIKE. you guys wouldnt believe how cheap we got the brand new 05 pike race. hehe secret na lang...

yeah pero special price kasi kami sa bike shop na to... sponsored kasi team namin dati... so it ownt apply to all... masisira naman sila pag sinabi ko presyo para sa amin...
most of us naman have bike stuff secrets... im sure marami rin PinoyMTBiker members ang may mga special discounts on certain shops. its not naman na nagdadamot ako, im just protecting d shop's rep. do u think they would appreciate it if someone goes to their shop and say that they read in the forum na a certain fork is at this certain price only? how would they say no? syempre masisira naman business nila.
basta the original price of the Pike Race is at 21k

i dont find it tall with my frame .. it works really well as long as it fits your frame geometry .. ;D pero for me ok yung PIKE dun sa fireball ni tofi .. perfect set-up for street and trail .. show us the picture pag nakabit na!! i agree .. kanya-kanyang diskarte lang naman yan .. Blister T, kelan tayo ride?? tara tara! bili na ko ng bagong chain!!
