My 07 Reign1, upgraded to Lyric U Turn Forks, DMR front hub and wheel, 8" front rotor and race face bash ring. Will eventually upgrade the brakes to Juicy 7's, but no rush.

Yeah i was hoping for a bit more off but oh well only thing i can do now is play around with shock / get a TI spring set
I'd start by going tubeless aye, not only do you remove some weight from the bike, spes if you use DH tubes but you also remove rotating weight and i found that it made the bike ride lighter

Yeh i'v got some pretty thick tubes in there at the moment, was planning on getting a new wheelset first anyway, currently have the trail pmips which are too heavy, but i love the strength of them, how are your rims going?

Looking good Muzz. Reigns ride so well with a thru-axle fork.
Have you changed to a 24/36/bashring set-up up front? I'm considering this for mine as 32 is too low a lot of the time. You have real hills down there so I'm curious to see how this would work out for you. If it works for Christchurch it work for Auckalnd and Rotorua fine.

I'm running 24/36 on my turner at the moment, and its mint, although I will probably go to 22/36 as that was what I had run in the past and it still shifts sweet with raceface rings, great set up for Vegas IMHO
