I see in the near future another new wheel size coming out. It will be the real 27.5er. Then we will have 26er, 650b, 27.5er and 29er. After that we will get a 30er, and 2 years after that they will bring out a 29.5er....and so the wheel (size) turns. Oh I forgot about the 28er and 28.5er!

This was a traffic accident where the taxi driver was 100% at fault. The mistake the taxi made was to turn in into oncoming traffic. Crossing the white is legal when turning into a side road. These cases usually end up with a settlement fine paid towards the deceased family, usually less than R50k, or a minimal jail sentence of 3 months or so.

Got to post the vid again. Pay close attention to the part where he advises on pedals and clipping in: :ph34r:

But he said he rides clipped in! Got that one wrong!

I LOVE Giant. I would love to have a 650b Trance to play on the trails with. For long distance and stage racing I am not sure, for this I would maybe wanna stick to the Anthem 29er. For a hardtail I would definitely want it in 29". For small to medium sized riders the Anthem 650b would be great.

But Sauser has got 3 more horsepower than me to keep those big hoops going

For me I like my hardtail in 29" but dually I want that 650b Trance or Anthem.

Squirt is too lightweight for mtb, Go Chainwax from Bearing-Man stays on and is cheap. But the best is Rock n Roll Extreme.

I rode off-road to my friends house on a bomber with flats when I was young. Now I ride clipped in and I`m so fast I ride in my own class.

Hahah we could end up in an endless loop of threads asking where the thread has gone asking where the thread has gone asking where the thread has gone....to infinity and beyond Hahah!!!! Admin at least did come out and answered the question though. Are you by any chance a software programmer?

Oh you missed all the fun there was a very funny thread ripping off the attitude of some flat peddlers who says its the only way to get proper skill. There was a funny vid that`s been reposted here on page 1 that I felt was worthy to keep. Turned out the missing thread was started by a double account poster so Admin blew up the entire thread and I just wondered where it had gone.

Unbeatable bang for buck and just uber-cool: http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/4/368/4881/38419940001_large.jpg

Ok, I found it not to be too trolling but actually very funny, but I respect your judgement and double posting is not on.

Must be the FBI I guess, after Zumu signed the new spy laws this week the FBI are watching us very closely and they didn`t take kindly to having fun on forums like this. But the "Im faster than you" vid deserves to be in some thread cause its just too classic.

I saw the last post of Sir Maxxis stating the Op to be a "wining bitch" and then Admin brought out the big gun and blew up the entire thread. I thought it was a very funny and entertaining thread except for that last post of Maxxis that took it all personally. lol Admin is on the rampage these days.

Where is this thread now? Lots of funny content there I found very funny. Seems like Admin nuked the entire thread for some reason.

But these are very much not xc bikes, I would suggest something more xc less travel and lighter oriented but with some all round capabilities. Something like this: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/128936-new-giant-trance/

I really like the way Giant goes about doing things. One would think that since they are so big and mainstream that they would have a conservative approach, but they have a very progressive approach which I really like. Every odd year they come out with bikes that I just want. Other companies already have 27.5 bikes but Giant takes the new concept and make it mainstream. They are not seen as a premium brand and their prices are good. There is no status thing attached to their name, but yet I think their bikes are great. Giant I like you a lot. (just need to put better wheels on your bikes)

26er with 120mm+ travel

Giant always seen to catch my eye with their new bikes now I want one again. Actually it wound be nice to have an Anthem and a Trance.

And the new 650b Anthem http://stwww.bikemag.com/files/2013/04/Giant650b-2.jpg
