what do you think of my new giant reign xo set up to desend only as this is the only way to ride. I chose this bike because with this fork it has a ferly slack head angel of aroun 66 degreas and a mid 13" bb hight which is perfect for going fast. It is stock except for 66RC2X's up front dhx 5.0 coil out back 8" front rotor 7" rear rotor 690mm low rise whit syncros bars 30mm 0 rise stem bontrager 165mm king earl cranks king earl pedals( these are the best peadels ever) e 13 SRS odi ruffin grips and i am waiting for some new maxxis minion front and rear tyres. Also i am interested in peoples opinions in a new rear rim and hub as i do not think that the xc ream that is on it will last long i want one that is fearly strony but wide as well to prevent pinch flats.

i used to run i big hit 3 2006 model which i was going to keep but once i had this for a while i decided to get rid of it us the reign is heaps better more fun and it loves everything i dish at it and i frequantly come up short on jumps go through some of the most savage rock gardens and the odd drop to flat. But after saying that i am 60 kg dripping wet and the bike is a bit different now. I will post a new pictuer asap.

nice, how much does it weigh? reign x sounds like a great frame to build off a lightweight freeride bike

Very nice bike, dream build!
Im guessing that it feels like a light mini Glory FR, because that would feel pretty amazing!
Ride it like you stole it!

for rims with no pinch flat (bad english :L) i advise either dt swiss 6,1 or 5.1, the 6.1 is stronger but heavier
