Does anyone know if you would need any special parts to change the vivid on my glory to a CCDB Coil? Emailed CC but no reply! Seen it done on a few bikes now.

as long as you have the right stroke and eye to eye which i believe is 2.75x8.75 for the glorys and the right bushings (LBS will have it) you wont have a problem

How much torque are you guys using on the linkage, the same as the 2009 glory (11.8 - 14.7 nm)? I got to say I am disappointed about the documentation for the 2012 glory.

Yeah I've used the same values and as long as you use loctite as well the bolts shouldn't go anywhere

I plan to put one on 2013 Glory frame as soon as proper version of the shock is available (with 15mm eyelets).

Is it possible to ride a Glory with a single crown fork (Fox 36 Talas 180mm)? I refer to a 2010 frame ( http://www.downhill911.com/images/Giant-Glory-2010.jpg ), but I think the year is not important. I´m planning to buy one and use it for Fr and Dh.

Yes, of course. I've been using 2010 Glory frame with Totem for 2 season, and now, I've got 180 Float on it (with FSA angleset). The fork will be installed on 2013 Glory via regular headset.

Hi guys, I have just got a glory. It is a 2012 glory 2 and I am wondering several things. Is the bb 83mm? and what size shock does the glory take? Thanks so much if you could answer.

The giant site says "4,5 inches." I have a 2.0 slacker headset from works. Its great, so much better than the pesky FSA headset.
