    I'm still thinking about a 7point for my freeride build. But I'll take my time on this one as my Chumba is holding up just fine to all my wonderful crashes.

    I must say that the DW-Link has a very different feel for sure. Whether or not I like it more than a Horst link, Four bar, or VPP has yet to be decided. (not good enough to know the difference yet)

    One IH bike that was on my short list of bikes was the Azure.
    I never see anyone talk about that bike on these boards.

    Anyone have experience on the MKIII's racier little sister?

    You know Dino, I was at Performance in Laguna picking up some odds and ends on 10/31. I actually did a demo of the MK series bikes. Hard to tell in a parking lot but not bad of a bike!

    Anyone want to give me some advice on setting up my Reign? On fast downhills, it feels very similar to my Hollowpoint, even with 1.5" more travel. I expected it to be a bit plusher.

    May be a silly question- have you considered reducing the air pressure? For rides that are more XC in nature- I air-up a bit (firm). DH oriented- usually air-down(increased plushness)!

    Hanzo... TKBlazer.... JeffJ...... lots of Reign owners out there. A PM to them could help! Then again, you could start a thread! Trust me, you WILL get the answer you are looking for!

    I have it set up based on the sag the manual recommends. Any less and it blows through the travel really fast.

    92- Like I said, you may want to consider PM'ng the people I mentioned in an earlier post! You may also want to consider starting your own thread.

    I'm telling you, 70% of STR members will (most likely) NOT view this thread for the simple reason my opinions upset their stomachs!

    By starting a thread of your own, your chances of finiding the answers you need will increase 4,756%!!!
