Be careful with the direct mount cranks sets because they are almost all for boost spacing. Is your bike boost in the rear?

They do different chainrings for boost and non boost spacings for direct mount, of you're buying cranks most will specify the spacing size if it's fixed.

That was what I was pointing out. Most direct mount chainrings are for boost. He will have to look closely for a 6mm offset if his rear spacing is not boost, which I doubt being a 2019 MY Reign

None! Litterally none!
Rolling - muuuuch better. Diving into oblivion with roots and rocks - more comfortable, confident, smooth. In corners - well, there IS a difference, but not in bad point, it's just different and you just need to get used to it. Jumping (and landing first of all) - again, just get used to it (to more weight at bike's front).

So, for 10000% it was a great and usefull move to get 29' fork and wheel for our 'old' Reign.

But, I didn't just go and buy new components. First, I asked my friend to give me his fork (Fox 36) and wheel (also smth not cheap) (both were in a very good shape - it's important) and I used it for a couple of weeks.

As for components - I went to classic opinion that new 29 fork (for homemade mullet) 'must' be the same travel as stock 27.5.

p.s. Going up - I don't know, I walk ))
