I am 6'2" and I'm on an XL Mega Tr. I'd want to try something longer like mondraker or gt.

at 185cm my 2013/14 Mega AM in Large feels kind of small, at first i wished i had gone for XL but after adjusting myself i find it good now, i have much more confidence on jumps over the last long reach/short rear bike i had

If you can try a friends bike, or a demo bike with similar reach you'll have a rough idea of how it will fit.

What's the best way to remove the bushes at the rear triangle?
Just got my replacements from hotlines, to see if it sorts the creaking
yes this would be usefull for me aswell as I've got mine from hotlines aswell

Use a junior hacksaw to gently cut the old one, once you're through it'll pop out.
The plastic caps will need some persuasion.
Push the new caps in and use a small G clamp to press the new one in. Easy peasy, back together in 15mins

How would I go about measuring the reach on my Norco frame? I can't compare the reach at the moment because the Nukeproof website does state the reach for the XL but the norco website doesn't have anything for reach

Reach is sometimes called front center I think?

Nah, front centre is the front axle to BB.

To measure reach you'd have to use a ruler horizontally, and something straight vertically in line with the BB.

Yeah, I found out that its the horizontal measurement from the headtube to where the BB is, I measured and the difference would be about 30mm which seems very reasonable!

How can the upper shock mount bolt with the weird flat head be removed? The one on the left. I just can´t get it off of the frame.

I had this problem and the short answer is brute force! The finishing on mine wasn't very good which lead it to become stuck in the frame. I took the one on the right out, sprayed everything with WD40, put a screw driver into the end of the opening of the flat one, and gave it a really big smack. You have to support the tab that it goes through or else you could potentially break it off the frame. Once I had it out I sanded off all the rough edges a greased it up so that it comes out freely everytime now.
