Hit the 30lb mark
Practicing with the new camera

Sweet build! How's that 36 working out for you? I mean with the pinch bolt and bolt-on axle vs. QR... I use a SeaSucker instead of a Thule to transport my ride. So, it's pretty important that removing and putting on the front wheel not be an event in itself. I'd appreciate any feedback that you might have!

The best fork I have ridden which includes the pike, float 2013, zocchi 66rcv, all on the same frame. The front wheel removal is not impossible but not as easy as the QR version. Requires an Allen to loosen the pinch bolts and the same Allen to remove the thru bolt. A standard multi tool gets it off and on no problem. As far as the fork riding goes. The brake dive issues of the past floats is gone. Rides high in its travel and has excellent mid stroke support. The rc2 cartridge adjustability feels better than before with each click feeling like it actually does something. Another added bonus is the recommended pressures hit the sag numbers dead on and actually did not have to add excess air to get a higher ride. Eventually ended up letting out 5psi and feels awesome now. My 2013 float always needed excess pressure to ride higher and would blow through its travel really fast bottoming out on what I felt was small features. The new fork does not have this problem. Thanks for the compliments on the ride I love it. Any more questions just ask. Salute

It's been a couple years since I Reign shopped but 3 yrs ago I found the SX was specked more for park. Single chain ring, beefier rear shock (Spring not air.)

Exactly! Except they didn't do as good a job as you did of making it look sexy!
