Pike or Jumper...

[two-forty-three]

I might get an 04 jumper from a friend, i dont know how much he is selling it for, but would you buy it instead of using yourpike? i find mine flimsy for dj and street..


oppinions please:):???:

Id stay with the pike.

We just got in a Rock Shox Argle at Steed Cycles about 5 minutes ago. It's a Argyle 318 coil, and retails for $499.99, that'd be a sweet choice!

id go with the jumper. The Pike just flat out isnt made for street abuse. I have a Pike on my all mountain ride, and a '05 DJ1 on my street ride. Just last week my mountain rig was temporarily out of service so i decided to try out the Pike on my street ride. I didnt feel nearly as confident as i do with my DJ. Of course the pike looked pimp, felt great, and was nicly adjustable, but you dont really need all those qualities on a street ride. On a street ride your main concern should probably be strenth.

But an Argyle would be sweet too! :lol:

Pike owns the DJ but Jumpers are the BEEF... strong as hell. not much to go wrong.. my pike crown is creeking AGAIN. so I have to send it in AGAIN.

[Rosscofat]

[Rosscofat]

Keep the pike, They feel oh so good. I hate having to use my jumper but the springs are to soft in my pike. And no sense in buying new springs when the p3 is here in a week

Crap, I just bought a Pike 426 for my Balfa Minuteman frame that I use for urban and dj, or my girlfriend uses for trail riding. It's just little, so it fits her perfectly.

I think it'll hold up...but maybe I should have waited for the Argyle!-cheaper too!

I have the 07 Pike too...maybe it's a bit different and can hold up better?

They hold up fine, there is a reason many of jumpers use the pike. But i weigh 140 and the stock springs arn't stiff enough when i tak'r on some rough landings.

PIKE, no question about it


but its rather flimsy....

[Rosscofat]

Pike can hold up to 185lbs kid doin bar spins on garbonzo it should hold up for you lil skittles.... or chicklets.

[D.White]

but its rather flimsy....

no, it's not stop going by what people tell you. your like 100 pound 12yr old who rides 3ft high tables there is no reason for you to say it's filmsy. just ride it

DJs always feel like shit when I try them out, Pikes feel amzing. I haven't owned either though, so I can't comment on toughness.
