  3. Hey fellow Hubbers. I'm looking at getting back into mtbiking. My budget is R7.5k -R8.5k I used to own a Giant anthem advanced. I know with my budget I wont get the same bike with the components I had on it. I've been looking at the signal 920. What are your guys opinions? The 3 bikes I've looked at so far are the signal 920 Giant talon Silverback sola 3/4 Or do I look for a good second hand deal? I will be doing trail trial mostly and district roads

  5. What is the advantage of running a smaller tyre at the back ?

  15. Hey guys I have a Giant Anthem advanced MTB . My question is the current shock is a rockshoc but it isnt a lockout shock ,it has a lever that you can adjust the hardness /softness of the shock . Can you have a shock thats lockable on a carbon frame ?? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

  19. Hey guys Ive noticed my rotor is bent as its rubbing against my brake pads . Ive spaced the brake caliper so its clear , but still rubs slightly against the pad. How do I change the rotor as there is rivets and no screws ? Do I have to replace the hub as well ?
  20. I have continental race kings on atm
  21. Hey guys Has anyone tried the diy tubeless conversion or do I need to get tubeless tyres as well. What sealants did you use ? I see slime has a kit for R800 comes with sealant , rim tape, 2 presta valves, 2 co2 catridges and a co2 regulator
  22. I think I'll test my dads large and a meduim from the bike shop and make a decision from there
  23. Hey guys. What is the correct way of sizing up a bike? I am 1.8m tall and ride a xl 26" hardtail but im wanting to upgrade to a 650b . I feel that the bike is a bit big for me and think a large frame would be better to handle on the single tracks. Your opinions would be very helpful in me making a decision .
  24. Its only when I change down and once I apply a bit of pressure on the chain it slips one or two gears down by itself. There is no gunge between the cogs at all.
