Has anyone tried it?
My 2005 Reign could do with being slacker and lower and 190mm I2I x 50mm stroke shocks are easy to come by.
Just don't know if it would cause a clash or screw up the axle path.
offset bushings would be cheaper and easier to try out
Hmmm, didn't realise they existed.
Who sells them?
For off-set bushing, see [url= http://dirt.mpora.com/news/slacken-head-angle.html ]here[/url] or Betd apparently supply them too.
I've just got some of those bushes for a 2009 reign.
And it certainly makes a difference to the angles - rides very well.
I did not want to put a fox 36 on the front as that would be a bit overkill.
Although a side effect is the BB is lower - hence pedal strikes. But I'll just get used to where the pedals are (there much lower than my hard tail)
The Athertons used to run a shorter shock on their reigns (2005 ish) with pikes up front. I think they featured in the dvd Earthed 3 or 4 hucking about in their quarry on these. Have you tried talking to Giant about it?
