Anyone know if its possible to put a 2013 giant reign linkages and swing arm onto a trance x? im looking to get more travel out of my bike and i cant put a longer shock on it so i was wondering if i replaced the back end with a longer travel bike would it be able to work?
Yeah, terrible idea. Don't mess with the geometry if the bike dude. 1) it automatically voids any sort of warranty and 2) the frame was never intended for those kind of stresses.
Alright thanks, guess I'll just save up for a specialized demo or giant glory
Here's a picture of my Trance after a full day of park riding at Bromont (Local DH mountain) With 160mm of travel up front and the Monarch plus I put on it, it really made it a much more capable machine!
I know. Can't wait till mine dies so I can get another one. I know it isn't the best for seceding, but it still is good in my opinion. I have a road that I start and finish on, and I haul ass down it with no brakes everytime I ride it. I just wish I had a fork with thru axle on it. But even that still doesn't bug me too much. Pretty sure my HA sits at like 68.5 or less. Pretty good for an '09 trance I think.
i love what you did with your bike wonderant10.... might aswell bring my bike to the bike park when it open to find out how it ride compare to the faith

Thanks, my goal was to make a bike that was light enough to do long trail rides but still be built up enough to ride downhill. I think I got it good on this bike. Also helps that the frame is slacker and can accept a 140-160mm fork.
