The bike I bought this year came with a 35 and, man-o-man, is it notchy. I don't know how else to describe it... NOT SMOOTH lol. I read another post where someone dissected it, deemed it a pile of hot garbage and concluded it should never be installed on a bike. Therefore, I have no interest in rebuilding it. I'm no pro and never thought anything much more than basic components is what I need. My other bikes have never been top of the line stuff and I never had a complaint so naturally thought the 35 would be fine. I was wrong lol.
So my question is, what's a good replacement for this fork? I was looking at the Pike and Lyrik and they seem to be comparable but I'm not guru enough to understand all the differences. Price also seems negligible between the two. As far as my research on FOX, I have read more than once they tend to leak and just aren't as reliable... but people still love them. I personally lean towards reliability so I'm probably bias toward RockShox from experience but still open to opinions.
For reference, the bike is 150/150.
