Just to answer my own question...

200*57 and 8x40 top spacers, no bushing at the bottom.

My rear rim folded today,I slightly cased some roots on about a 15ft out 6-8ft down landing and it caved inwards,could hardly hold pressure in a tube to bodge it home. Strange thing is,spoke tension is still even,just my rim is wrecked!! Should I just buy a new wheel and have it built or buy a new rim and have it re-laced to current hub? Have had bad luck with these rims this far,they're too soft IMO for the reigns intended use.

I've also dented the PAM-2 rims pretty badly but they still work. My advice is to do what I did and just buy another wheel rather than trying to fix it and keep the oem wheels as emergency backups

2017 Reign
FLOW - Giant and Liv 2017 Range Highlights

The Reign frame is unchanged, but there are some very tasty looking models in the line up. With the new carbon one-piece link on the Trance and Anthem, the Reign already looks ready for an upgrade.

There are no frame changes to the Reign and lined up alongside the new Trance and Anthem, it already looks dated! It doesn’t take much imagination to work out there’ll be an updated Reign coming sometime soon, with the Metric/Tunnion shock, carbon linkage and Boost hub spacing to match the Trance and Anthem.

Had the same issue with the rear derailleur hose. Just try to set it looser so it doesn't grind onto the frame when you go through the travel.

It's ok around the BB no problem with rubbing There. it's on the bottom link between the main frame and rear triangle .

Yeah,get some clear frame protection patches. Avoid paint being rubbed off if possible,cables will eat through everything otherwise. Also I have my dropper and rear brake cable tied together under the Bob,pull them out a small bit first so they don't rub when using travel. The patches are really good the cable won't wear through them for a long time.

It sounds like it's too short there,can you give it more slack there or secure it with cable ties maybe?

Looking to upgrade my wheels on my '15 reign. Can I only use 15mm front and 12 x 142 rear? I found some e1700 dt swiss, but they are 20mm front. So does that mean the hole diameter is 5mm bigger and won't work. I also found a m1700 the front is 15mm, but the rear is 10 x 135. Will either work?
