Duane_Bosch Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I've fantasized about throwing a 180mm Dorado on my Swoop 170 for ****s 'n giggles (when heading to the Alps).Gonna chuck a coil on my Reign for my Alps trip later this year. And an extra token in my Pike #Parkbike
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I've fantasized about throwing a 180mm Dorado on my Swoop 170 for ****s 'n giggles (when heading to the Alps).180mm fox 36 R2C VAN
Odinson Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 180mm fox 36 R2C VAN Nah. If I really wanted to, I could just swap out the air shaft in my Lyrik and bump it up to 180mm. Don't think the extra 10mm is going to make a yuuuuge difference though.
Eddy Gordo Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Was waiting for that. But you'd be surprised. There's some nutters in this world! Could always source one of those Spez 150mm dual crown forks that came on the old Enduro. Yeah, I have seen some. Also the old spez enduro. What size dual crown fork was that?

Eddy Gordo Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 read what you quoted, you oversized wankpuffin... I am half asleep today o and its the Spez e150
RiverInTheRoad Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 On the Shova ST you mess up the handling with anything bigger than 150mm. Personally I would stick to 140mm. I would almost say 130mm. For the reference I owned one for 3 years.
Odinson Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Gonna chuck a coil on my Reign for my Alps trip later this year. And an extra token in my Pike #Parkbike On what bike? My Swoopy McSwoopface is quite linear, so a coil will just result in harsh bottom-outs the whole time.

Odinson Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 2015 Giant Reign. Noice. The Reigns look quite spiffy with a coil. Just a shame about that Pike upfront though.
Duane_Bosch Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Just a shame about that Pike upfront though. Well I do have a 40. Maybe I'll fit that for the trip. Based on what some poeple on this site want to do it might not be a bad idea.
Mongooser Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Well I do have a 40. Maybe I'll fit that for the trip. Based on what some poeple on this site want to do it might not be a bad idea.I saw on pinkbike awhile back some people had boxxers on they're reigns
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Noice. The Reigns look quite spiffy with a coil. Just a shame about that Pike upfront though. Dude I SO want a coil... just to play with it and set it up and see if the reports of fizzbang small bump sensitivity and traction are all they're cracked up to be. Several reign owners on PB have fitted one and claim it's a totally different bike...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I saw on pinkbike awhile back some people had boxxers on they're reignsyeah. I've got my 66 on there, which is the same a2c as a Boxxer. Slackens out the HA to around 64/63.5

Several reign owners on PB have fitted one and claim it's a totally different bike... That goes for alot of bikes. I would like to try and fit a db coil IL on mine. Not sure if I have enough space. Seen some pics of db Air IL fitted.
