    I just had my mits on a new Pike Team. I have to say that I was impressed.
    I have been in the Bomberhood for a while. (Z3, JR T, DJ 2, EXR, and A Z-1
    at one time) The performance, and features are on par, or above what some
    of what Marzzochi is doing. Their QR 20 is simple, and easy to
    dis-assemble. I bounced around on the sidewalk a bit. (lets call it the
    curb hop test) Not a trail ride. But I noticed decent perfomance. It is
    about 150 bucks cheaper than the equivilant bomber. It'll be interesting to
    see how it lasts.

    Did you buy one, or just messing with someone else's?

    Uuuuummmmmmm,,,, Yeah. That's a pretty loaded question. Truth be told. I
    was playing with someone elses. Waiting for the durability monkey to shine
    before I buy.

    Playing with my own would have been more fun.

    Ya a couple buddies of mine have them and they seem very nice for the money.
    It will be interesting to see how they hold up. I would wait though just to
    see when and if they break.

    It's not the structural failure I am worried about. Its the internals. How
    often do they NEED to be serviced. Bombers run good, last long time.
    We'll see if the RS holds up. I like the QR 20 axle setup.

    Well what does the manual say? The usual ridiculous take it to a
    service center every 20 hours?

    anyone heard of a RS "reba"? I've been nosing around for a new front shock
    to replace my sid race, and one lbs was really raving about it...????

    The Pike, and Reba are the RS new models. The reba is the XC oriented
    model. I did not get a chance to mess with that one. They look nice
    though. The "Salesman" said they a good fork. (Taken with a grain of salt)

    Did they also rave about the SID race when you bought it?

    I bought the bike used and that is what it came with.
