Is there different thread pitch for rear thru axles? I just broke the handle off mine and wanted to confirm the right one before I buy it.

Research is leading my to believe that giant uses a special pitch. Looking into it more but as of right now i may have to pay double the price for the dam giant one....

Check out Roberts Axle Project.com and look at their lightening axles. They will have what you need. There is a difference between maxle, dt Swiss, and shimano axles and the pitches they use.

Nice ride! What's your weight (geared up)? I'm planning to put bottomless rings on my debonair too.

I weigh around 155-160 lbs but for the bike park I ran a pretty stiff setup to deal with the jumps and bigger hits. For everyday trail riding I've found that 32-35% sag with around 5-6 bands works really well for fast rocky decents but that's just my preference. Experiment a bit to see what works for you!

Thanks a lot! My friend (wearing the flannel) was was riding a Specialized Stumpjumper with full blown suspension front and rear that didn't have any compression or rebound damping and still ripped! Makes me feel bad about myself haha

Time to enter the Reign family! Mostly stock -17 SX, did swap SRAM for my XT stuff and the stock dropper for my reverb.
