    Ok cool. Thanks Myles.

    My daughter is turning 2 next month and been thinking of getting her this bike. She is a rather petite kid and would probably have to get the seat all the way down for her feet to reach the floor. My concern then is that reaching the handle bars will be a bit of a stretch for her. How's the reach on them?

    Agree..wife taking vitamins for the pregnancy amd it includes zinc so hoping it will help her.

    I got a little sick the other day, just some nausea and headaches but not too bad. Wife now got some serious gastro, and seven months preggy getting very uncomfortable now. Cant hold any food down.

    Would a cable tie or some tape assist here if you cannot route internally? Is this still a problem on the 2016 bersion?
  6. AlanD
    And what if you don't have an internal compatible frame?

    Ok cool. Will go search for one then and see the cost

    Decided to go with the 125mm drop as feel thus sufficient and I know it all fits. Now all I need to do is shim it as I have a 31.6 seatpost and the Giant dropper is 30.9 Anyone got a shim for this as I cannot source one locally? I know you can make one with a beer can which seems what I need to do.

    Sjo, that's a whole lot of measurements but I understand what you saying. Going for different brand, have a reverb currently and will be buying online. So what's the real advantage of that extra 25mm drop over the 125mm other than getting the seat a bit more down. I feel mine gets down enough to be out the way.

    Im ready to buy the giant dropper and wanted to ask if i should go 125mm or 150mm drop? My current dropper is 125mm drop, 380mm length and seems sufficient for what i ride. The seat tube on my bike is straight with no kinks. I am about 2cm from having my current dropper post all the way in before i reach the top cap so not sure if this plays a rike with the 150mm dropper where i wont be able to get it down enough for the right height. The giant 150mm is 440mm in length. Which one would be best?

    Well done!...i won some Craft bib shorts...keen to swop? You know you want to... :-)
  12. AlanD

  13. AlanD
    They will advertise my name soon enough..lol

    Ok cool. I have won some bib shorts ( first time winning anything) but would like to sell them to buy something else. Hear you on the resale of items, not cool at all.
  15. AlanD
    If someone won a cycling item but would rather have something else, is it ethical to sell such item (at a great price of course)?

    I have been riding with the luv handles grips for a while now and I like them. The end caps are great and much better quality that those standard thin plastic ones. They offer good grip and shock absorbtion and for the price, they are brilliant.
  17. AlanD
    Im a 44, let me know when they have been shipped. Thanks :-)

    Gold member...sweet ride. How do you find the praxis cassette?
  21. AlanD
    Agree, that black chain looks awsome.
  22. AlanD
    Take the washers off for more grip.
  23. AlanD
    Fixed :-)
  24. AlanD
    I bought mine from easybike and they were R799 at the time but i see now they R999. When cwc have a special again, you could ask for them on special

    I bought a pair of DC skate shoes and they work really well and are also cheaper than all you have mentioned.
