I ended up getting a pool noodle and cutting it up + putting them on. Still rubs and scratches the hell out of the bike but it’s purely cosmetic.Maybe just zip tie some thick pipe insulation around the part thats rubbing?
Late reply but I use the Polar Bottle in 15 oz (I also ride a medium Reign).What is a suitable bottle to fit medium sized Reign? I blindly took a side-loading bottle cage and any old bottle I have are too tall. The piggy bag of the shock will touch a normal bottle on the bottom when doing the squish.
What options have you found fitting?
(I know about Fidlock but you see them on trailside do much you'd think they grow around here)
I got the Giant light that connects to the built in battery and it is awesome knowing I always have it on me. I would try that perhaps. I think it’s 1000 lumens.So just recently bought a 2022 MY Reign E+ 2 as an ex demo with just 79km. Zen fork seems to have the upgraded Charger 3 damper with adjustable lsc and hsc. Just starting to get it dialled in and have to say I love it. Sense of weight disappears immediately and I find it plenty while on right singletrack.
A few changes is like some advice on:
Front end feels a little low and bars are very unforgiving. Any recommendations for a slightly higher ride bar that's a bit more comfortable?
The 25kmh cut out seriously limits the bike downhill, with a lot of my local trails are undulating and taken at 25-30kph so get the nasty on off sensation which is love to get rid of. I will usually hit 47kph on my Banshee Spitfire on same trail.
Is there a way of derestricting to get bike to USA level from EU?
If not is something like a Planet 3 the best option, rather than a software mod, as I don't want any issues with warranty etc
Any other advice on upgrades?
Thanks
Reign E+ has a high stack, if you feel it low then don't ever try the Trance...Front end feels a little low and bars are very unforgiving. Any recommendations for a slightly higher ride bar that's a bit more comfortable?
Planet 3, 152mm cranks, 34t chainring, superdelux coil, 40mm riser bar…. It’s running super delux!Since I have to take it easy for a while (operation), I must admit that my Reign E+2 works beautifully to ride to the Pub
Not yet, and I have updated the software on the bike regularly.Hi Acmac thanks for the info. Any issues with the Planet 3 throwing the dreaded 6A error code?
I’ve always run the dual, even back earlier before the 6a errors they suggested it worked betterThanks for that Planet 3 mention it on their website that if used with just 1 magnet it can throw a 6A code, probably just being paranoid as don't want to brick the bike after a few weeks of ownership. Ill be running dual setup.
Been getting the suspension tuned in and have to say as I get used to it, it absolutely rips on DH and flowy trails. SO stable and secure. The 25kph is a real annoyance though as there are sections of trail that Im just bouncing off it regularly and have the constant on/off feeling. Been riding around it by braking less and trying to carry more momentum!
Going to go with a one-up riser bar to give a bit more comfort as the Giant Bar feels like a solid girder!
Going to switch to coil shock. I am 175 kbs thinking 500 lb?.sound about right?
I run a MRP Hazzard with a progressive coil riding weight is 175-180lbs with a 400 spring. Love it I played with it a bit to get it right. I have not touched the settings since.Hi there, any good feedback on fitting a coil to the reign? I’m reading the linkage is too linear for it and you blow through travel and get harsh bottom out when set with the correct spring/ sag. However I have seen a a few coil setups around including some pros bikes….
Anyone got any info, is a progressive spring a must? I’m currently using the X2 with all the spacer (max progression). So bit unsure if the coil suites
Thanks for your thoughts.
I ended up with a superdelux. The hydrolic bottom out works great on it with a linear spring.I run a MRP Hazzard with a progressive coil riding weight is 175-180lbs with a 400 spring. Love it I played with it a bit to get it right. I have not touched the settings since.
I ride enduro tracks mostly and still have the OEM wheels with cushcore fr and back I’m getting a set of carbon wheels I’ll ride for more flow/trail riding at the end of season here in Lake Tahoe Ca.
