Why no more Coil forks?

Damnit. All these coil single crowns and none of them go to 180mm. Come on Fox...
Cool Pike in 2018.5, I've already said too much
seems weird that it's the same price. High end, carefully crafted air spring? Expensive. Dummy rod and a coil? Less expensive.
was it cane creek or someone else that said their coil springs would be offered in 7 weights? guessing it's not CC because i don't see it listed on their website.
I believe that was MRP. You get 3 springs with the fork and several additional weights in their store.
yea didn't they just launch the ribbon fork as coil? it's like all of a sudden coil forks are back.
now that i think about it there was some aftermarket company that was gonna offer like 7 weights of springs in 25lb increments. or am i losing it?
I think that was for rear shocks...but my rememberer is getting pretty faulty.
Could it have been Dave Garlands company?
I think you were right : https://superalloyracing.com/products/?v=3e8d115eb4b3
that sounds right? the WC mechanic?
Get a 180 talas. Seriously.
If you come up to northstar anytime soon, I'll let you ride mine.
PUSH is doing 7 spring weights as well. https://www.pushindustries.com/collections/fork-products/products/acs3-fork-spring?variant=136462172184
The page for the Ribbon coil says the fork ships with 3 springs (light, med, heavy) and that X-light and X-heavy are also available aftermarket.
THAT'S IT. It was PUSH.
I really like my PUSH'd 36RC2. They are going to have to sell it hard for me to swap to a coil when it goes back for rebuild.
Cane Creek stuff is looking good aesthetically. Yowza.
they look awesome, but the 15mm only axle is a questionable choice. 20mm has been boosted, and is coming back, just like coils.Cane Creek stuff is looking good aesthetically. Yowza.
Maybe it will be the same for 26", then i can ride my DH bike.
Thanks for the offer, I really want a coil 180 though. My Float is pretty damn good, but a coil 180 would be MOAR better. Plus, now that Push has that air ramp contraption that solves my issues with shorter travel coil forks my goal is to go completely coil again.
........listen to what I'm telling you.........
You REALLY should ride a 180 talas if you want a coil 180 fox fork.
If I could put one of those cartridges in my 40 I would.
Just picked up my bike from the shop and heading out for a ride shortly, new push acs3 installed, heavy spring. parking lot test says it was worth every penny thus far

You've implied this before ... so what do you think is going on in there vs the Float? The damper is the same, so what's the magic in the air spring??........listen to what I'm telling you.........

There's no pinner rod binding up in a bottom cap at the bottom of the stanchion when the fork flexes.
I now have two talas cartridges, one i replaced a float spring with. They're so much better. A buddy hopped on my RFX last year with the 180mm one and "damn I miss coil forks". I said 'look down'
There's a spring in there too

So we're talking '17 TALAS?There's no pinner rod binding up in a bottom cap at the bottom of the stanchion when the fork flexes.

I don't think they've changed them since late 2015. Talas 5.
This thing needs moar coil!
The thing I like most about coil forks is the increased mid-stroke resistance without sacrificing small bump compliance. The reduced friction is a bonus. Talas won't solve that unfortunately, although some of the multi positive chamber forks might; although at that point I'd rather have the set and forget nature of a coil.There's no pinner rod binding up in a bottom cap at the bottom of the stanchion when the fork flexes.

Damn, what bike is that?This thing needs moar coil!
Annnnndddddd its every bit as amazing as i thought it would be. Incredibly smooth, ramps up nicely (running 30lbs in the bottom out chamber), far superior mid stroke and support, no diving and doesnt seem to stick in its travel like the air cartridge did. i rate it 10/10Information from someone who has actually paid for, and used the product is not welcome on the forums.....speculation only please!

Does anyone make a coil kit for the Yari/lyric?
Most say the pike kits won't fit since the sanction tube is thicker.

Most suspension companies are probably waiting till we all forget that air forks somehow used to cost more than coil. Otherwise when they release coil forks that cost the same (or more) than their existing air offerings we'll be asking why.
