Should do wonders to (even further) help the Nomads trail manners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should do wonders to (even further) help the Nomads trail manners. Yeah, i know. It certainly changed the way my bike behaved. Lyrik = 40mm offset. Marzo = 46mm.

Iwan Kemp Posted August 4, 2014 Share Good to hear. Certainly made a big difference going 51mm off set on my Vipa. Maybe the time has come to own a Giant (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 4, 2014 Share Reign advanced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted August 4, 2014 Share Reign advanced? "The top of the line Reign Advanced Team ($8250)" "The aluminum version is spec'd similarly, with only a few slight model differences in the brake and drivetrain area, and retails for $5975" ...and only 200g difference in frame weight.
