Rock Shox availability.

Ill put this in the forum since the fork is for a freeride setup!

I have been having a HELL of a time tracking down a Pike 454 Air U-Turn. There are scattered deals around, but generally these cannot be found.

I have heard rumours that other RS forks are difficult to find right now (I would expect new Boxxer to be in demand, but...) and hope to get some feedback in here.

I Have:

Spoken to RS/SRAM who assure me the forks are being produced and there are no distribution issues.

HOWEVER

I have spoken to 10+ shops who say their distributors only have coil Pikes, and that Air Pikes are not being made/arent available.

I have spoke with BTI, QBP, Seattle Bike Supply, and more -- they all tell the same story.

I went so far as to check ALL the major online retailers (ALL is relative - Jenson, PricePoint, GreenFish, Cambria, etc...

ALL THE SAME STORY

But when I call SRAM again, I get the same "They're available" and the rep doesnt seem to want to help me get hooked up with their product! (Full price, just want the dang fork already!)


HELP? Any insiders? Anyone with a clue here?

I can make a decision if I have reliable info!

i was just looking on bti and it says in stock there.

Click to expand...

454 coil is in stock, no 454 air.

No one? Nothing?

Any one able to tell me where to get an 08 or 09 454 air u turn anywhere in the country? LBS has one in stock?

... is this thing on.. <TAP><TAP><TAP>

yep, that about covers it.

Woot!

Comment above about anyone in this country have it = Nope.


Chain Reaction Cycles to the rescue! 09 Pike 454 Air U-Turn is in the UPS truck headed for US of A!

Great price, shipped within 8 hours of order.. lets see how long it takes to cross the pond.

If this thing arrives with no issues and all that - then CRC is going to become my most worshipped mail order shop!

WOOHOO!
