    Hi everyone, been a looooong time since I've posted, just very excited after buying a new bike last week. Upgraded 2015 Gaint Anthem 27.5 1 that I bought in August 2015, to a 2021 model Anthem 29 1, exactly 10 years later, also, going to be 40 this year, so I think I might me having a little bit of a mid-life crisis. I wanted to find out though, has Giant stopped manufacturing the Anthem in Aluminium? It seems to me like from 2022 Anthem's were only manufactured using Carbon... if this is the case it really sucks, as the Carbon models start at around R80k, whereas the Alu models, depending on which spec, use to start at around the 35-40k mark, which made it available to a much broader market.

    Hi everyone, I am looking at buying my first dual suspension mtb bike. I would like to know your advice, should I buy a brand new Titan Racing Dash for example: 29er, dual suspension, dropper, rockshox etc OR should I buy a second hand bike like a Trek superfly, Giant stance or specialized stumpjumper. My budget is around 30-35k… Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you. https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/titan-bikes/products/titan-skyrim-dash-2024

    Hi Gents, I am about to take the plunge into a new MTB to replace my aging Silverback Saturn . I have narrowed my options to 2 bikes, both offered by my LBS.

Giant Anthem Adv Pro 1 (2018): https://www.giant-bicycles.com/za/anthem-advanced-pro--29er--1-2018 Which is the better bike? does anyone have any experience on these? Thanks in advance

    Hi All, I have been looking to upgrade from a entry level SR Suntour XCT Coil Fork to an Air Fork on my hardtail. It seems with the global shortage 27,5" forks are hard to come by locally unless you going for something ultra premium or want to ship from overseas. That been said I have seen reviews of 29" Forks on 27" Frame - with continued usage of 27.5" wheels. With there been slight changes to the geometry and handling has anyone does this conversion and can share their experience? I have also done the exercise of putting my bike geometry into a calculator to see what the changes would be like. Ref attachments Based on the results I think it would be fine. Can anyone else offer a review of the results? Bike: Giant Talon 3 - 2019 - 27,5" Small Frame - Coil Fork with 80mm Travel New Fork Option: GIANT SXC-2 29er RRL Fork 100mm Travel (This Fork because of its price point and is featured on the latest versions of the Talon) Many thanks

    I would like to convert my Giant Talon 3 2019 to a 1x System. It currently has a 3x8 with the following specs: https://99spokes.com/en/bikes/giant/2019/talon-3 I have sourced the following parts locally and want to know if these would all fit on my Talon. I know the Talon doesnt come with a microspline hub hence the choice of a 11 speed cassette. However I would like to use all the other 12 parts where possible. Any assistance with the upgrade would be appreciated.

    Hi hubbers Am torn - looking at a giant propel advanced 3 or a felt ar5? Leaning towards the giant because it reads excellently, but the reviews are not keen on the rims... What are your thoughts?

    Not sure if it is the right place to ask... (moderators are welcome to move it to the right section). I have a Giant Anthem 4 which I want to sell / trade for a Giant Talon (27.5) but I am not sure about what price I should ask for it. Here are the specs: Giant Anthem 4 (year: 2011/12, not sure) Wheel Size: 26" Frame: Large Rims: Alex Rims Tires: Maxxis Crossmark Rear shock: Fox Front shock: Rock Shox Full XTR components (except for the crank which is XT) Stem: Ritchey Carbon Back Derailleur: Ritchey Carbon BBB Grips Shimano M520 pedals Regularly serviced at Dirtopia shop (Stellenbosch)

    I bought a Giant Anthem Advanced X 29er last year from my local bike shop (2013 model). Last weekend I bent the front wheel and according to the local wheel building specialist the rim should be replaced... no problem there. This Anthem uses the Giant P-XCR1 wheel set. The problem is that the local suppliers has no stock of this rim, or a replacement wheel for that matter. To make matters worse they can not commit to this rim being in stock in South Africa in the next 3 months. How can the parts availability be so bad for a company as big as Giant? So my options are: a) wait three month (with no satisfaction guarrantee) b) Fit something like a DT Swiss rim and run unmatched wheels (even if is just the decals) c) purchase a complete replacement aftermarket wheelset. Either way Giant owner's beware since OEM replacement parts for your bikes might not be available.

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a new mountain bike for the first time. My budget is up to R20k, but I have already looked at a few bikes and made a list of my favourites. I have looked at a few bikes within my budget including the Giant Talon 0 (2021), Trek Marlin 8 (2022), Specialized Rockhopper Expert (2021) and Silverback Stride SX (2021). These four bikes are my top picks, but I lean towards the Marlin 8 and Talon 0 more. Does anyone have any advice between these two bikes? I will use the bike for commuting and some off-road riding over weekends, so currently it looks like it might come down to external looks, brand preference and warranty as I won't be pushing the bike to its limits anytime soon, but that might change over time. If I go with the Talon 0 I will upgrade the tires to tubeless tires, so it will cost a bit more than the Marlin 8.

    So I bought a new bike and the specs of the bike online said the front hub is a sealed Giant unit. In the bike shop I checked all specs except the hubs for some reason (trusted the web specs). Then I see the front hub is not a sealed unit and not a Giant hub either. (The rear hub is also not a Giant hub, different to the web specs) Dragons sports are the guys to contact and Gavin Salt tells me they made a running change and on dragon's website it is stated that the front hub is a non sealed unit and not a Giant hub. I didn't even think to check dragon's site beforehand to check for specs. Kinda disappointing. Gavin basically said it makes no difference and if I want a sealed hub I must wait until next year and then there may be rotor compatibility issues. Any thoughts on this from anyone who knows more than I do? And how much better is a sealed hub?
