KSH, I did buy some stuffs from them and they help me install for free. Tongyam, wut service u inquire & what is the price quoted? Alternately, can look for ABC in Sri Damansara area also. Nothing fancy, but as far as bike tune up and installation, it's ok and price also reasonable. I also prefer DIY, but lacking tools. Maybe I shud bite the bullet and get the toolset? But then, too many things to buy, too little money... Always. LOL

But when their regular big spender walk in, fuiyoh... macam sibek kamching brother here brother there. Ask for something, they just point to one corner and ask me to look for it there myself.

Getting Started Junior Member 60 posts Joined: Jul 2006	QUOTE(Thermal_Blaster @ Jan 10 2011, 11:44 PM) mm..... yup.... thanks for ur advice... actually here we got a trail that have to ride up really hard (asphalt) then when descend can choose either ordinary road or... DH route usually will see all the DH kaki with full armor go down really fast ... i already try the down hill part using my HT & feel nice but have to do it really extra carefull or it will become disaster...& maybe i already change my tyre to 2.4 ...so that i feel it absorb abit the bump ..... but really dangerous coz the tail part keep lompat lompat like hantu puchong although i keep my weight very far behind ( luckily i got xs for my frame) to keep the bike from endo.... thats y im have the feeling to take another bike either trance or reign.... really hard to make decision from the diffrent of 1 inch rear travel but really appreciate all the advice from u all from here Yoyoyo! Thermal Blaster, sorry if this is abit late, but here's a good read on REIGN being modded into a Mini DH pedaling bike http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=519723 I found it interesting for the rear shox mod... Shortening the eye to eye length without compromising on the travel. This is some serious modding.

Getting Started Junior Member 60 posts Joined: Jul 2006	QUOTE(Thermal_Blaster @ Jan 12 2011, 05:55 PM) Thanks, Im also read this before, they also mod the Trance (5 inch)& Reign 0 (6 inch) to mini DH machine... But they mention Reign & Reign X easier to mod coz 6 & 6.7 inch rear shox have more option Getting the Reign X, best to avoid the 2010 models for fear of the weak chainstay link IMHO. Just like what the OP said in the thread, it's somewhat 'tuneable' for travel provided it's within the range of the linkage movement I think? As for what's the 'acceptable' range of movement, I guess need to measure the actual frame? Say if going the custom build way, one can always go for RP23 @ 7.875 x 2.25 instead of the stock 7.875 x 2.0. 6" = 152mm axle travel and a 2.0" shock travel = 50mm So the leverage ratio is 1:3. In other words, every 1mm of shock movement is equivalent to 3mm of rear axle movement, right? So putting in a 2.25" (2.25" = 57mm) travel shock should nett almost an additional inch of travel at 6.73" (171mm). Ok la, maybe not 1" but 20mm. With this mod, the HTA/STA isn't affected at all if the fork remains unchanged in it's travel. But IMHO with this mod, I'd be going for a 180mm travel fork! LOL That being said, the above does makes a better & plusher ride going down, but going up is a different story. So here's another DIY I found... http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/work...pedal-rp23.html Specifically on post #13 (http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/workshop/19558-how-do-you-run-your-pro-pedal-rp23.html#post301118) I'm not sure the validity of the DIY above, but it seems that one can go higher/firmer than #3 propedal setting on the RP23. By that you can have a super ride, both up and down. Provided u remember to fiddle with the settings/knobs/levers la...
