Recently got my hands on a 2015 Giant Reign frame which I'll be swapping into soon.
I prefer the feel of coil shocks over air, figured out I will need a 200 x 57 shock with a 550lbs spring. Had a browse around and I came across this: https://www.cyclingdeal.com.au/buy/dnm-mountain-downhill-bike-rear-shock-220mm-or-190/BURNER-RCP2
From what I've read its actually not half bad and for the price I thought I might take a punt on it.
I know that the reign shock mounts (according to the internet) are a "Standard" mount type, with 40 x 8 / no bushing.
The frame is coming with the stock Monarch RT Debonair. My question is, will the existing shock mounting hardware fit, or will I need to get something specific to this DnM shock?
My other option is a Marzochi Roco I've spotted on eBay. If anyone knows that the mounts will be less hassle this way let me know as I might then go for this option instead.
