giant reign 2 with coil shock

im stuck between a 2012 giant glory 2 and a 2013 giant reign 2. as much as i would love the glory, i probably wouldn't benefit from a full DH rig much. i am looking for a more all mountain rig, but i want to be able to throw it around pretty hard. one thing i have read is that the reign cant handle very big drops, is this true?

and also would a coil shock help that. because i have read that people have done it on 05/06 model reigns (not reign x) and they said that it gave it a more plush feel and helped with the bottoming out problem.

I think I’m gunna do it, has anyone done it/ seen it. I’ll strip all the parts off and get a professional to do it. Looking at my line of bikes and cracked frames after some time they look like crap. Stone chips, scratches etc, and yeah I know it gives them character but doesn’t do a lot for re-sale (not the cracked frames). Just got a new bike, well 2012 model owned by old lady, only ridden to church on Sundays. It looks so shinny, sweet and innocent and I’m about to grab it by the throat and ring its neck.

As for wet/dry it is perfect. Some rutted trails have been damaged by all the water flowing. Some trails that used to be hardpacked have sections of deep sand and piles of debris on them so be a bit careful.

Not far off green but Bailey's still has some boggy bits & the start of BJ's/High Roller is just a mess which does not look like drying anytime soon.

Hey everyone

I'm about to convert from 3 x 10 to 2 x10 with bash ring and have some questions.

Currently have an SLX 24/32/42 crank set and want to go to a 26/38 set up as have check gear ratio charts and this combo should cover all my used ratios.

I can pick up the XT 38T and XT 26T chain rings designed for the 2X 10 cranks.
(38T - http://www.pushys.com.au/shimano-deore-xt-fc-m78...)

Drying pretty well now with this weather, but plenty of puddles around in the usual places.
