Any Rock Shox experts?
I bought a fork on ebay and I'm trying to figure out what it is. It was sold as a Pike but it's been painted up to look like a Judy DH so all original graphics etc are gone.
There's a serial no on the crown which comes back as a Revelation RC but it's meant to be 27.5" and a 29 x 2.6 fits in it so I don't think the crown matches the lowers.
It came in a box for a 27.5 Pike so I'm thinking that the seller has a load of forks and has made this one up with bits and bobs from here and there.
I asked the seller about the paint as I was putting the fork on a bike I was taking to Brazin and they didn't respond so I doubt that asking them what's going on will help much.
Ebay listing said 160mm travel but the serial number says 130mm. Guess I should let the air out it and see what travel I actually get?
This is the fork that comes up when I put the serial no into Rockshox site - https://www.sram.com/en/service/models/fs-rvl-rc-a1?t=48T76598488
This is the listing for the fork from ebay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256084938925
I found an article on a website that shows a few 2018 forks side by side and I think the lowers look more like the Pike, around the arch? That could just be the rendering though. https://enduro-mtb.com/en/rockshox-updates-pike-lyrik-yari-and-revelation-for-2018/
Edit: There's this photo/rendering of a Revelation RC where the arch looks much more like the Pike from that enduro-mtb.com article.
Would the lowers be shared across the range of 35mm forks?
