RTG7

Hey Hubbers Dave and i taking on our 2nd 99ner and are missing our usual support riders. Please feel free to give a bit of shelter from the wind and a push up the hills if you can.

love the crank - the way i ride, not sure how long they'll stay like that though

my new Pyga, Knipe_Racing custom spray by CBR. 130mm Pike up front, 110mm rear with South hoops. XT 12psd Lyne bar and dropper.

Thank you Ferro - that is awesome and much appreciated.

This was our 5th CTCT, started in JS at 07h10 and finished 11mins slower than last year, 3h38. Was a super tough day. We ride to raise awareness and funds for www.raisinghopesa.com and NPO (NPO 176-282) that works to assist families affected by children with neurological disorders. Inclusivity in cycling and other sports is so crucial and it is where disability meets possibility. you can support the work the NPO does at www.tinyurl.com/ycyfjnys Big thanks to all the additional helping hands yesterday

does the metal only rule extend to wheels also or only frame?

Thanks Meezo - saw you guys on both the hills. David (in the buggy) Gavin and i managed to sneak in at 3hrs27. was pretty broken but stoked. awesome day out there. Really sad about the deaths and my heart goes out to the families dealing with the loss.

Have just got the VIPA, from a anthem X 29er. All I can say is WOW. Awesome bike, climbs like a dream, super stable on the decent. Point and shoot responsive (a morewood Zula with big wheels) Enjoy whatever you get.

now with picture

can't wait to get out for the first spin. happy chappy.

anybody had experience with the rear pivot bearings going on the Scapal?

i suppose that is the deciding factor then - do i want to loose the "fun" and big hitting capabilities of the Giant for a Lefty fork and a more zippy/racy feel.

the giant for me is super stable, safe and predictable. i had the morewood Zula before the Giant and i miss the sharpness and directness of that bike. the giant is a cluster bomb, no need to pick lines, just ride and hang on. i have loved it but maybe time for a change, and a back end i can move around..

Hi, looking for opinions from people who own or have ridden both: in terms of ride quality - spec can be changed on both bikes. I have been riding the Anthem X 29er for the past 4 years and am unsure about changing. always wanted the Scapal 29er and a Lefty but am comfortable and know the Giant well. so opinions on the two are appreciated. Anthem X advanced 1 or Cannondale Scapal 3 (will be upgrading the Scapal parts, the Carbon frame is just too much extra ZAR's) Thanks
