  1. Hi guys, Looking for a 27.2 Internal Dropper post. 100 - 125mm ideally for my Mountain bike. Budget is about 2k.
  2. Yeah, I saw this, this is the one I got, but the OEM 2021 Anthem 1 build, at almost half the price.
  3. Yeah, pretty sad about this, 8/10 Anthem's that I see on the trails are the Aluminium versions, its a pretty silly decision they made IMO. I suppose if you don't have the budget then the Trance and Stance are still there as options. To be honest I was keen on a Trance over the Anthem, but finding a Small Dual Suss 29er in any brand is like looking for a needle in haystack, eventually got a pretty good deal on the Anthem so I decided to go for it.
  4. Hi everyone, been a looooong time since I've posted, just very excited after buying a new bike last week. Upgraded 2015 Gaint Anthem 27.5 1 that I bought in August 2015, to a 2021 model Anthem 29 1, exactly 10 years later, also, going to be 40 this year, so I think I might me having a little bit of a mid-life crisis. I wanted to find out though, has Giant stopped manufacturing the Anthem in Aluminium? It seems to me like from 2022 Anthem's were only manufactured using Carbon... if this is the case it really sucks, as the Carbon models start at around R80k, whereas the Alu models, depending on which spec, use to start at around the 35-40k mark, which made it available to a much broader market.
  5. Haven't posted here in a while... thought I'd share some pics from my holiday is the Northern and Eastern Cape. 3 Rivers Trails in P.E: Between Jeffery's and Oyster Bay (I admit my bike didn't take me here, but I did have my bike with me): Heokwil (Stayed at a place called Loch Loerie): This guy was hanging on my handlebar 7 Passes road (road to Gearge from Hoekwil and back): Swartberg Mountain Pass: Carnavon in the Groot Karoo:
  6. Hi guys, I just replaced the battery on my Fenix 3, I've got a 3 extra batteries to sell if anybody is interested, there are a couple of guides/video's on Youtube that takes you through the process. PM me for price and details if you're interested. The same battery is compatible with the 3 and 3HR.
  7. Went to 3 Rivers Trails today with my son, did the short 15km trail with him. Fantastic place. The views and the trails are awesome. Planning to go back in the week to do a longer ride.
  8. I will, planning to make a few trips there during my time here. I'm quite sad that there aren't any trails in the Rockwell area, been using that road (Rockwell Drive I think?) and it looks so beautiful out there... I'm very tempted to take my bike there and see where some of those dirt roads go.
  9. Slipperfieldsv trails are closed permanently for MTB, only trail runners allowed. So 3 Rivers Trails seems to be the only trail park in the area.
  10. Cool, I'm here till the 8th.
  11. How many km's would this ride be? Would it be safe to ride on my own?
  12. I don't drink, but thanks anyways.
  13. Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
  14. Thanks, you're right, it's 22kms, somebody told me it's 60km's. Will give it a try in the week.
