GARMIN GARMIN GARMIN!!!!!!!

no frames,only complete bikes.The new sid xx far lighter than fox.Scott shipment now only land end of Jan,I was lucky to get my 29er in September!

there is 5mm flex build into rear triangle of the carbon Scale frames,it rides very soft combined with the right tire pressure,if you're fit this bike is a weapon.I find it climbs more easily than my 26 Scale.The 39\26 gear combo also perfect for this bike.I'm currently 15min faster over 60km with this bike than with 26er.

I've got the expert 29er.Put xx and a few other goodies on it and it is my dream bike!Weighs in at 10.4kg

Just got my Scott Scale expert 29er for R21500.Kitted it out with full Sram xx,Ritchey wcs carbon bar and stem.Weighs in at 10.5kg.Awesome looking,handling,light ect......bike.It's a shame I must go and trash it at the Pioneer!!! I'm a very content Hubber

the jockey also counts

A quick update on the 2x10 issue. I rode my first race(diemersfontein ultra) with the 2x10 and I'm hooked. Not once did I feel i'm over or under geared.The 39\26 and 11\36 combo is perfect for me.At the 80km mark the real climbing started.Most of the riding was done in the 39t blade.1x10 setup will also work,but I think i'll stick to 2x10,FOR NOW!

Thanks Anton

I see that they do not recommend customized gearing on xx cranks.The standard is 42\28,39\26,and if you tamper with that the smooth x glide effect is of no effect,getting the timing wrong. Can anybody comment on that please?? I'm loving the 2x10 setup,out of this world.i'll never ever go back to 3x9,3x10. the gearing is just the way I like it. currently running 42\28,but want to try out the 39\26 combo. What about fast stuff,with 39 I'm going to paddle air big time?? what gearing of the 2 would be best for a 29er??I've got 11\36 on the back. cheers

just bought XX 2x10,first race will be MTN Diemersfontein ultra with 2600m of climbing.If my legs are not amputated I'll report back.

I'm considering 2x10,can I spark this thread again?Jasonw,how was Attakwas with 2x10?

King Crispy,you've got way to many bikes and I feel that you must give the spark to me as a present,because you seem like a nice guy!

Hi Guys, Considering a pair of Assos bibs,but is it really worth the money? cheers

Scott frame is lighter,parts crap!Dish out a bit more bUCK and upgrade to XO

I had the same problem with my Polar RS800CX,heart rate dropping to 45bpm while in Zone 5.It got sorted after a while.I now use a Garmin Fr310xt and besides the ultimate pain to transfer data via ant agent all seems well!!I tend to think that my heart rate got to the anaerobic zone easier with the Garmin than Polar,anybody had the same experience?? All heart rate monitors have their days!

So,I got the Garmin,but the software is useless!!!!!Cant transfer my inteval programmes from Training centre to the device,useless!!!!! what must I do,tried everything
