I'm in the process of building a slightly eclectic Nukeproof Scout build, I want the special 46mm offset lowers from the Reign.

Is there any way to get my hands on a set of these? A part number that I could order?

I have an insane vision of running these lowers with some 130mm pikes and a works components -2 degree angleset in my quest to build awesomez hardtail goodness.

It's not the lowers, it's the CSU.

I guess this will be like trying to get my hands on Srams/Lappierres E.I. shock parts without owning one of their bikes. 🙁

Thanks a bunch loco!

Think that's difficult even if you [i] do [/i] have one 😉

It just so happens I have a brand new set of 46mm offset Pikes attached to a bike that should be here in the next week or so.

If you want you could buy them, create your frankenfork, and build a normal set out of the rest of the bits & sell them...

😥

I was gutted by that, even started teaching myself bloody matlab to start building my own system! If you could hire a programmer Loco and build your own system that could be added onto a range of shocks, I'd buy one from you.

Hob Nob, what kind of time frame are you looking to sell them? In a hurry?

Not overly, they should be here in a week or so, any time after that really.

I was only going to stick them up on Ebay as I don't need them for my build

Waiting to see what systems come in over next few years, in comparison to Shimano Di stuff the build quality wasn't good..
It'd be a pretty big investment to develop a system & I'm still not convinced that adding complication to 'push' bikes is the way to go. Sound like a bit of an old hippy now 😉
