mikkelz Posted June 14, 2017 Share Fulcrum Racing 5 LG wheelset + Continental GP 4000S II 25mm tyres.https://www.instagram.com/p/BVUPSF-BRwE/https://www.instagram.com/p/BVUPd-EBY9o/https://www.instagram.com/p/BVUWqhQhJ6e/I replaced the stock Shimano RS10's, so the jump up is pretty significant and in all fairness, those rims served me well (over 7,500 km). And I was using 23mm Gatorskins (wire bead). Nevertheless, these wider tyres roll amazingly and feel so smooth (probably the new hubs/bearings) and are so much more comfortable (~90psi vs ~110psi). Stoked! Ordered from CRC, took less than 15 working days (free shipping).

mikkelz Posted June 14, 2017 Share Have my LG 5 now for two years. 7000 km on them and love the way they roll. That's good to know! I spent ages deciding on a wheelset, as there are so many to choose from each with their own pros and cons. So far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossW Posted June 15, 2017 Share Window shopping is a bad thing! Accompanied my wife MTB shopping over the weekend. Walked into the local Giant dealer and while walking around heard the assistants discussing their performance bike sale, starting the next day. The short; 25% off all Trance, Reign and Anthem's as well as the equivalent in the Liv brand. Needless to say, window shopping quickly changed to swiping plastic for both of us. I picked up the 2017 Giant Anthem 1 (650b).Full aluminiumFull XT 1x11Carbon rims with boost spacing front and rearFox 34 performance elite 120 mm fork and EVOL metric shock 110 mm.Dropper seat postThe guys also added all new accessories at the 25% discount with free tubeless conversion. I picked up a Giro Hex helmet and matching bottle cage. All in, $3,875. BSG, T-Bob, Mopkop and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hickley Posted June 15, 2017 Share Not a purchase but definitely worth a boast. I know someone that knows someone. Only costs me a tubeless conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
