Whats on already? And what hub? Is it a 20mm, and is the fork one?

at the moment i have some 66's on which i dont really need as i do more all mountain/xc..i am not sure what hub is on now but it is a 20mm and the forks are QR so i am going to have a look for a new wheel

I'd probably be looking at a Pike

Each to their own, but I think a Pike is a bit thin/short for a Reign but a 66 is a bit much. Something in between (like a later 20mm AM, 55, Lyrik or Float 36) would be ideal.

I used a 2006 AM1 for a year, and it really is a great fork (it's for sale incidentally ) but I wouldn't recommend you change from a 20mm to a QR both because it's less stiff but also because it'll cost you a new wheel. If you already had a QR wheel it would be worth considering.

I don't know if they've any left, but I got my 36 at Rutland cycles. They were doing TALAS Rs for £389 and Float Rs for £349.
