Finally have the shock and fork behaving how I want them which is a relief, still going to throw a bottomless band or two in the shock though I think.

same, I had mine feeling nice and plush but took it in for a service due to that click noose I posted about before. Turned out I had blown a damper seal somehow - unless it was defective from the start I hadn't noticed a bad bottom out at any point. Think I need bottomless bands just in case. You're in NZ ay? Where are you getting them from?

Here is mine so far just upgraded cranks to XO1 in 170mm instead of stock 175. Can't find one complaint about the bike so far!

I asked the question before but no one responded. I am interested in upgrading my slx cranks as well but not familiar with the bb92 standard. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. What q factor should I be considering and are there specific bb92 cranks?

the reign goes for width of the bb not the spindle so its a wider bb interface but a gxp, on the sram models, crank still.

I am not understanding your post. I do understand that the width of the bb shell is 92 mm. Are there particular cranks that have a long enough spindle to work? Sram cranks also have different q factors options ranging from q 168 to q 156

I am still lost.

I got the Raceface Turbine cranks and they are great. The majority of manufacturers utilize BB 92. So finding cranks to replace your SLX won't be difficult.

The bottom bracket is PF92 type, the crank is 68/73mm type crank.
You can purchase a standard Shimano 68/73mm crank or SRAM GXP Crank; replace the BSA External BB with PF92 BB.
To make it clearer; the internal 92mm BB = 73mm + external BB width.
Q Factor is not really the issue here.

Hope this helps.

Watch this youtube vid, it explains the new pressfit bottom bracket standards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AftPKuX_tyo

Also the Reign 2 comes with the BB71-41 (41 stands for the bore diameter in mm where the BB goes) bottom bracket, the BB91 is a higher spec then the BB71. You can fit the BB92 to the Reign but you'll need to fit a shim (that comes with it) to the drive side of the BB. Any crankset with a 24mm axle will fit.

For reference, if anyone's thinking of a stealth job, thanks to hardtailrider2013 for the shop. Raw would look cool, but these frames just look sooo good in black.
