hi, i have a 2002 orange 222 and was wondering if i bought a 2009 giant glory dh frame, would i be able to fit the parts from my orange onta it? and if the forks would make the giant feel weird at the front because of the dhx 5.0??

orange spec,

forks- 2002 boxxer
chainguide- mpr
cranks-shimano saint
rear wheel- mavic 321 disc on hope hub
rear brake- shimano deore xt
front brake- hayes 9
shifter- deore xt
rear mech- deore xt
stem- easton vice
headset- raceface

cheers

i don't think the forks will effect the ride really, are your saints 83mm bb because the glory frames only take an 83mm.Smile

make sure the chainguide is ISCG old- not 05. The glory uses the old version. I think you can get an adapter though

Oh and you get a cane creek headset when you buy the Glory frame. The raceface you have probably won't fit as the glory uses a tapered headtube Wink

My Glory is absolutely wonderful but I can't compare them as I've never tried the orange. If you like the 222 though you might want to get the 224 as you'll probably be more comfortable on it. But if you have the chance definitely try them both out.

Im not 100% sure about the 09 glory frames but the older one's had a 150mm x 12mm back axel and the orange is 135mm x 10

you need a new hub, yes, if the one you have now isn't 150x12mm

Hope Pro 2. Works fine, a little noisy but cheaper than most others of the same quality, such as Saint
