Alright cool. Thanks though.

Not marginal in my opinion. 👍🏼

Yes but that remote has 3 positions, not so? CTD tried one of those

Hey guys! Something I’ve always wanted, but can’t seem to find, is a lockout remote ( 2 position: open and closed) that can individually lock out the fork, the shock or when pushing both levers, lock out both. Essentially like having two Rockshox oneloc remotes, but in one. Reason being, often times I want my fork locked and shock open when climbing steep loose terrain, and vice versa. anyone know of anything? 🤔🤔

It seems excessive to me. I can't imagine how to measure the play. There's no forward or back, and no up and down, just twisting from side to side. Apparently it's the lower brass keys/bushings that could be worn, but sourcing them in SA is a mission/impossible.

Yes apparently it's the brass bushings. Any idea where I can source some?

Hi guys, I just bought a ks lev ci dropper from a hubber. No complaints at all except the twisting play. Is this normal? There feels like quite a lot... Please can you give me any info or any advice on how I can fix it. Regards Kai

Any idea on what the weight of the pro is?

Yoh. With these sick drawing skills you shouldn't be riding man. You should be designing bikes!

The Anthem any day. Comfortable bike, with loads of potential. For an AL frame it's surprisingly light too, and if it has a 2x drive train, you can cut that weight by going to 1x.

Recent early morning ride up on the North coast.

3rd of fourth Pic from the bottom,is that the 2018 anthem advanced? (green and black) I have one now. I see you have a dropper? 27.2? What make is it? Looking around, only real option for me - particularly because of usable length and travel- is ks lev. Going to have to drop 6k on one of these bad boys...

Hey hubbers. Thought I'd put this to you guys. Anyone here have experience with the Stan's dart? Is it worth buying and keeping on you? And will it work with all latex based sealants?

Had a similar situation a few months back with a black mamba. Fortunately it seemed he was more scared of me then I was of him. Tell you what though, in that moment even n1no wouldnt have even had anything on the speed I was out of there. ????

Really appreciate your insightful responses man. Awesome to be able to ask someone in the know. Cheers

Hey guys. What are the rs1 forks like? Specifically 27.5,but on 9ers too. Were they troublesome? Or are they decent? Had 100 mm travel and remote lockout etc. Shot guys.

We'll yes, YouTube reviews say that times are within a minute or two. That's very flipping close. ???????????? There are a lot of 9er fans around that haven't really been able to convince me of the major benefits of them. You guys have been a great help. Appreciate it okes.

Probably could. Many 650b bikes come with the ability to change to 9ers. But that would mean dropping at least another 15-20 grand to get carbon rims. The rims on the Anthem are carbon.

Really appreciate your feedback! I'll definitely do so.

Im 1.8 on the dot. I can pick one up that hasn't been used a lot at all for 28ish

Hi guys. Reletively easy question. What are your thoughts on the 2016 giant anthem advanced 0? (the one with the rs1 forks.) I think it's a beautiful bike, I'm just torn between a 29er and a 27.5. My main question: given I'm as fit or fitter than guys on 29ers whilst doing climbs on xc, will I be really really less efficient? It's not to say absolutely everybit of my riding is going to be xc. I'll be doing some trail now and then. I just don't want to be nehing all the 29er guys because I'm on a 27.5(650b) Appreciate it guys.
