What geometry did you end up with?
-
With my phone.
64 head angle (on fork stantion)
66 seat tube angle (on seatpost)
14-5\8” bb (floor to center of bb)
Otherwise just right for the steeps....
-
The numbers seemed out a bit. Just checked my garage floor and it's on a 1.5 to 2 degree slope......oops. Add 2 degrees to those numbers above.
66 h.a.
68 seat tube
I looked at giants website for how they measure the seat tube angle and it not off the post alone btw.

How do you like it? How big drops/jumps do you take it on? Thanks.
-
I like it so far. I dropped a 2 ft. drop so far on it. Don't want to push it bigger until the rear shock is more dialed. It seems to pedal pretty well but I did notice the difference in how it pedals standing up. Because of the chainforce stiffening the suspension it feels a tad bit like an old biopace chainring. I came off a singlepivot so the difference was noticeable. It jumped really well and really digs in when braking. I really like how light it is as well. If the frame holds up to my abuse it will be a winner. More reports to come.....

You replied to my Reign thread and this bike really makes me wanna buy one. 180mm too much for me though up front. I'd probably get 150mm or 160mm.
Frame size? Where did you buy the frame? How much does the bike weigh?
-
It weighs 33-34 lbs. It's a large (I'm 6-3) and it fits perfect. I got it frame only from a friend. Have the Bionicon chain guide coming any day. I'd say that unless you ride the nasty stuff a fox 160 would be perfect for the bike. I ran a 160 before the 180 and it's a super capable fork. I just like my bike with oodles of cush up front.

Get rid of that air can and get a 2.25" stroke coil. WIN.

Thanks alot. I'm a bit of a photo geek as well.
Got my second ride on the bike today. I ended up shimming the air can and it made a great change to the rear suspension. Same pressure and great ramp up. Stoked on the ride now.

Awesome ride!! I'm also in the process of building a 08 Giant Reign X with a full Shimano XT drivetrian, brakes, rotors & wheel setup. Waiting on the last bit of components to ship in then the building process begins. Seeing your bike got me super excited lol!

Thanks
You are going to love it. Been a long time since I've dove into nasty sections with the confidence I save for my DH bike. On a bike I pedaled to the top!
