Suspension Travel Requirements
Hi All,
It may sound like a silly question but I wouldn't mind hearing some peoples feedback, without coping a mouthful 
I am in the process of looking for a second bike, longer travel for more AM riding. I currently rise a Epic 29er. But the query I have is in deciding what amount of travel I would ACTUALLY need. To paint the picture a little for you all I ride a Med frame and am also in the process of losing some weight with the aim to get myself 80 - 83 Kgs kitted in riding gear, height is ~5'9.

2013 trek remedy 8
very interested in this bike, chasing comments positive and negative, mostly regarding the fox suspension, particularly the shock, climbing , descending and general feel, on paper this bike is very close to 2013 reign geometry, cheers in advance
2013 giant reign 1
chasing any positive or negative feedback on this bike,would like to buy one but stock is limited
stink
was just on the giant US site looking at their new range, to my disgust they have dropped the reign entirely, instead we have a trance 27.5 with qr rear end and average spec for $500 more than last years reign, only upgrades being a xt crank and rear mech, something stinks at giant, was gunna get a new bike next year but i dont think it'll be a giant....stink!!!!!!!

Fox rear shock advice
I have a giant trance x2 2010 model that the rp2 bounces like a pogo stick and adjusting the pro pedal and rebound make no difference,even with 230psi in it.Doing a little research it sounds like it propbably needs a full re tune and service and at $175 according to the fox website probably not worth it.
Question
If I upgrade to a Fox RP23 what size will I need ?
The RP2 is a 7.875 x 1.750 which is 200mm x 44.5mm.
I have seen a RP23 which is 200mm x 51mm will this fit my trance ?
Its a good price at just over $200 new .
Webscorer App.
Has anyone run a race using the Webscorer app?
