yes that could be a problem or cracked paint..... but I am on my second 2016 frame.....

My problem is that I am the second owner, and I have no guarantee

Is there a guarantee for a 2016 bike even if you were the first owner?

i know a guy who has had three replacement Anthem frames all different year frames but they have to replace them under manufacturing faults ,all from being the original purchaser.

warriaza23 i would then try sanding back to the bare metal and then using crack test paint on it...... i hope its ok for you Cry

They could offer a crash replacement deal

the warranty doesn't cover crash damage

Thank you very much, I was checking today for the hole in the cables, I put a lamp and from the inside you cannot see the crack, possibly it is just paint.

Anyone know the shock specs for the 2019 Reign 2? I think it is 205x62.5. Thinking about putting 205x60 or 65. Has anyone tried this? Any issues?

I have a 2020 Reign 2. OEM shock is 205X62.5. I put a 205X65 coil on it and have had no issues. Changes rear travel to 166mm I believe.

Wow, it can slam. Any issues? I’m going to get 180mm now. Definitely didn’t think it would slam that nice. I got a 2017 large!

Anybody know if it's possible to run a 205x65 coil shock in the 2020 Reign 29?

Have read of other people doing it to push the rear travel to around 157mm but haven't seen much about it?

My frame should be here this week so I'm going to take some measurements and see clearance at the seat tube but if anyone already does this is it ok?

Does anyone in the UK know where to get a decent Enduro bearing kit for the Reign please?

I have a 2018 reign advanced. All I can seem to find on eBay are cheaper kits, whereas I definitely want an Enduro kit

I bought mine off ebay about 3 years ago (2015 giant reign 1) i had official enduro bearings but i cant recall the seller and the ebay history wont show that far back on my app.

They are there though

URGENT QUESTION!!!

What's the widest rim you guys have fitted on a 2015 reign?
I'm looking into a very well priced raceface AR offset wheels some guy is selling (didn't like them, rode them once, selling them at half the store price) but they're 35mm internal.
I worry that it's too wide for my 2.4 and 2.5 tires, might mess up their profile. What do you think?

Hi All Reign owners, I have a question that puzzles me, when replacing all the bearings i noticed that the upper pivot arm (if that's what its called) has a lot of play when the bolts are tightened properly. This is before any other linkage is connected. It's almost like there are some spacers missing, but I'm 100% sure that there where no spacers when I removed the pivot arm.

Either the previous owner forgot to put the spacers back on but I have been riding the bike like this for several years without problems, sure it's not the stiffest back-end ever but that's what I have heard about reigns anyway..

..or the frame isa actually designed to have this much play in this specific pivot point? seems weird to me?

(video below showing how much play there is)

Don't worry, all good. This is one of the things people criticized about this frame, the two completely separate plates of the rocker (you can see newer Reigns all have a single-piece rocker) and the way the bearing is mounted on it. Thankfully when all is bolted there are no major problems except for a bit of flex load on the damper when pedaling.

Thank you so much for answering this question! Now I don't have to try to find those non-existing washers Smile

Hello all, I have a 2015 giant reign 1 and need help to find a rear derailleur hanger. It seem that all the ones I'm finding have 2 mounting holes. https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hangers/manufacturers/giant/derailleur-hanger-264.html
My bike shop told me this is wrong so what is correct?
