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.

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...

reign still using the old design?
