Sorry if this is not allowed here, but wondering if any of you have swapped parts over from a Reign onto an Insurgent?

Keen to pick up a frame but trying to use the shock and fork from my 2015 reign would make it a whole lot cheaper/

Thanks in advance.

As long as the shock eye to eye is 7.875 I don't see a problem. The shock will need new hardware also, if it's the right size. For fox shocks it 22mm by 8mm and rockshock is just under 22mm if I remember right. For the fork you shouldnt have problems unless it's a straight steering tube but they make a adapter you can use to run it.

I'm pretty sure the Calling Luke used in the Calling release media was running on a Fox X2 shock with a 36 fork.

Should make the bike fairly bomb proof with a shock like the X2 on the rear

Evil Insurgent, but with 26" wheels. Yea? I just love these ENVE M90 Tens wheels of mine and do not want to give them up (on the account that I think I could only get $1000 or less for them.) My large Transition Suppressor frame is very similar to the large Evil Insurgent geometry. The reasoning is I want to be on a carbon frame again, and I cannot sell/trade away these 26" ENVE wheels. I love ENVE and these M90 Ten are no exception as they kick ass.

Typically I run my suspension a bit stiffer than most, and comparing the numbers. With a 160mm fork and 27.5" wheels BB height is estimated at 346mm. Figure to use a 27.5" fork, which will rake the front up a bit compared to a 26" fork. 2.5" tires both front and rear. 19mm drop from 27.5" to 26" and that gives me a BB height of 327mm which is just 5mm less than the BB height in the X-Low geometry position which is 432mm. I use 170mm length of crank arms with crank boots and HT T1 pedals.

Just thought it looked good. envewheels Chromagbikes MarzocchiMTB deityusa

Just want to add to the RWC Needle Bearing experience because it's one modification that I've done that shows immediate results, I can't believe how much better the rear feels on my Following after such a small upgrade!

I was thinking about snagging some of these. Did you do upper and lower eyelets?

Also does anybody need decals? I'm making a vinyl order here soon if anybody wants something I don't have in stock.
