XTC 2011

My new ride!!! Giant XTC 2, have done one ride so far and it was awesome, except for the saddle!!! Its as hard as a rock

Okay next question, how do you rate these pedals against shimano spd for example?

Thanx guys... Christie what are these shoe shields?

Hi there I've got those cheap olympic cycling shoes, I know this might be a dumb question but does the CB eggbeater cleats work with these shoes? Getting a Giant XTC 2 (2011) tomorrow! THANX

Whats the point of this post? An engineer where ever, designed the frame... You should blame him if it breaks.. The factory where it is made is situated in taiwan or china because of cheap labour, but the frames stil need to pass quality checks therfore it is pointless to say that a bicycle is cheap because it is made in the east

hi Can any1 give me a review on the SB ventura please??? I've ordered mine but will only take ownership early december (32 day wait on savings account witdrawal) Just want to know what it feels like on the trails

I agree with you Builder I dont mind a couple of extra grams as long as it lasts a while..... Thanx for all the input guys....

Jip, I also thought about CWCycles, they have a Shimano LX crank for R1050... Do you think I should go for that? What mtb do you have Josh?

Have a truvativ fived crank

My crankset was not bad it is just shot, cause I have been in a few crashes while stil finding my feet on the mtb,,,, I hardly ever fall these days so thats why I think it is time to upgrade... You are very lucky to get that crankset so cheap!

Hey.... Not a very nice boat to be in... I've got a deore FD and 2007 model XT RD.... What is the price on the SLX crank jou are looking to buy? It's not worth it to buy new chainrings and a new bb as it almost costs the same as byuing a whole new crank... Thanx for the input josh

Hi guys.... I have been riding mtb for 3 years now, im 18... I have improved a lot but im still stuck with my same bike i started out with... The bike is starting to show its age and I was just wondering when one should change the chainrings, crank BB, chain and casette... Is there any other parts that might need replacement, bear in mind I ride alot! The setup just does not feel smooth any more and I feel that my local bike shop is trying to force money out of my pocket... My parents bought me the GT(1.0)2007 model and since then never supported me further... I made 2000 bucks in the june holiday and was wondering how I can use it to better my drivetrain.... Your advice would be much appreciated
