Think the originals were 435mm A-C w/ 55mm offset so decidedly non-suspension corrected. 80mm would be better than 100mm but might be still too high (+30mm even at 30% sag - 465mm)

Sehr gut!

I can ask if you’re really interested?

New Kenda 3-Sixty just launched. 26x2.25” tubeless ready, 583g. Look to be pretty fast rolling (design for dirt jump/pumptrack)...

If it's offered in the same length travel isn't intended use a bit of a moot point? Probably just reflects what they have in stock I'm guessing? Like you say, Pike will be fine at the end of the day.
-
It’s only +150g for the Lyrik right? Should be stiff as hell in the lower travel setting with the added bushing overlap. It’s a great fork and the new 2021 upgrades (retrofittable) should make it even better...
Surely Pace can supply w/o wheels and adjust the price accordingly? Haven’t heard many positive comments for mullet setups outside of DH. I’d stick to 29” personally.

Plenty of alternative/better ways to make a nice steel disc fork if you’re not hung up on the tapered blade aesthetic (which makes little to no sense for disc brake applications)
-
Lyrik is the better fork regards of travel - fair bit stiffer than the Pike.
-
Those bars are much comfier angled down a tad 👌🏻

I was chatting to cane creek a while back trying to convince them to do a 1” threaded 40 series. Argued that it made no sense for them to offer 40 series 1” threadless and not a threaded option (given potential volume). They sounded keen so not sure if there’s one in the pipeline or not?

Tubeless ready (although planetx don’t state it)...

Provided it's not too close to the bead you should be able to patch it with a small radial car tyre patch. Used this technique loads to good effect...

Teravail is overpriced because it's a QBP brand
-
Wow, resources that extensive and yet the frames still look like that...
-
More shocked by the fact that Allied Cycle Works are still in business tbh

I think Hunt are using Kinlin TL-29 on their Trail Wide 30 wheels if you wanted to go the hope hub route. I’d steer well clear of the Hope rims heavy and not very reliable if you go by the user reports on STW.
If you’re after carbon rims then check out We Are One

Cheap and tubeless ready (although PlanetX don't allude to this)...

Pretty sure the MEGA insta account was the Gatwick store account (at least the profile photo indicated it was a few days ago, before being changed recently to that shitty hat)

Toei make some beautiful rando bikes. Very traditional mind you...

Looks like the Crust Evasion fork with their crown...

I used some PTFE tape around the inside of the threaded lens lockring on my IQ-X. Haven’t had any more problems with condensation

In fairness to @Brun I think the original horizontal dropouts used a the larger M4 thread

London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of fixed gear and single-speed cyclists.
Using a cheapo plastic reflector bracket for my b&m rear light. Not technically how it’s meant to be orientated but doesn’t seem to affect performance and there’s a nice degree of angle adjustment...
