    just consider whether an update to some of the componentry on the trance won't result in the same net result... A volume spacer here, tyre selection there... Just saying.

    I'm waiting for the east coast cycle route to open up... 600km
  3. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Dirt roadie... But yes - agreed. If you'd had higher volume tyres on the 650 it would have been fine and the rollover characteristics would have been more or less the same. Gearing also an issue, but yeah. For gravel and gravel only, I'd agree that a niner XC bike is the ideal choice.

    1 degree is quite a bit... but I think for that type of bike, 66/67 is the sweet spot. Remember the Anthem came down from a VERY steep 70 deg or something, so it's a very good change.
  5. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Same. Waiting for a ride report from someone on Pinkbike. 33mm internal, afaik. Could be the way to go, depending on price and availability
  6. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Both... LOL. I'd still go with Trance. It's the more "all rounder" of the lineup. Anthem is still an XC bike, but now with added gnar-flavour. Trance now has 150mm up front, and will happily tootle along all day every day on your local XC loop, and eat up the trail when it gets fast and techy. If you're looking at ONE bike from the Giant stable - the answer is and always has been - TRANCE.

    I must say, the mastercraft stuff is pretty darn good. And yeah - you do get what you pay for.

    A REDLINE!!!!! Used to have one of those.

    ooooh eh eh... Once you experience streaming in FHD (which happens rarely on a 4mbps line) you won't want ANYTHING else.

    we all know what you're trying to say... but fail on the delivery, bra. She sat on a wet newspaper... she didn't have a wet newspaper sit on her. Sorry....
  11. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem

    Yeha, I don't like that either.
  15. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    As veebee said. Max prequired points is currently capped at 1,200 per week. In 10 days it'll change to 900 along with the newer (some say better) points structure or 1,200 if you are an :endurance" or "professional" athlete. Point is this - you'll never need more than 1,200 points in a week.

    LOL. It does the job! And it's #enduro.
  17. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    WHAT AN AWESOME VID. LOAAAADS of LOLS
  18. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    It'll still be too big for you, china...
  19. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    no... wait. Was sure it was 12 local flights per year... EDIT: Eeeeergh. Was sure it was 12 on the marketing material we got!!! There was even a joke on how they had to limit it otherwise the actuaries would have flown every weekend...
  20. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Won't lie - both of those are looking VERY nice...
  21. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    That's cos we let our own imaginations take off. And they're infinitely more capable of providing riveting commentary and backfill than a movie or animation.

    What you do is select local shipping and use Aramex's local (stateside) delivery address. That drastically reduces shipping costs as you're not paying their preferred shipping agent. Check it out - may work out better for you.
