BrandonF_ Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Nice bike! What tyres are you gonna be running on your WL's???I will finish the Racing Ralph's that came with the stock Giant wheels ( if I don't sell it with the P-XC2's) and/or replace them with a set of Ikons I bought on special at CWC

BrandonF_ Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Congrats man,finally got youre dual-sus.Hope she gives you many happy miles.[emoji106]Thx Ben, comfort is king (apparently;) BenReaper 1
NGUTF Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Thx Ben, comfort is king (apparently;) It'll be comfy indeed. Anyone else got tyre recommendations? Was looking at getting Schwalbe for XC / Marathon type riding? Running Conti X-king 2.4 at the front and race king 2.2 at the rear, the combo has worked well but I have heard that there are better options in the same price range? Any advice?

Any advice?Everyone's raving about the Vittori Barzo, similar pattern to Xking and Rocket Ron, but lighther and durable Wannabe 1
Wannabe Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Running Barzo front, Saguaro back.No problems at all. Unlike Conti X King and Mountain King, Rocket Rons, Racing Ralphs, etc.

Unlike Conti X King and Mountain King, Rocket Rons, Racing Ralphs, etc.What you mean by Unlike?? have you had bad luck with the Conti's, I find that my side walls always wear down much quicker than the tread

What bar, stem and post did you get? Interested as there's not many that fit the Anthem if I'm correct, stem-wise? Thanks Rolling the same bike (2014 though), with the WL rims (RoRo and RaRa snakeskin tubeless) and 1x10 conversion, it's sitting at 11,7kg now, Large Edited February 27, 2015 by Kraggie

Grip / thread life is good, but those sidewalls!!
Musketeer Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Took the new gal out for some trail time this weekend at Jonkershoek: http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r508/Peet_Kruger/586a52cb-82d4-41bf-b8e1-7cd7f5c42181.jpg GoLefty!!, Long Wheel Base and Wannabe 3
Pieterlab1 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Hi there! I have been lurking here for a while, getting a lot of very good advice. Anyway, here's my "new" 2014 Giant Anthem X. Long Wheel Base, Musketeer and AlphaKilo 3
NGUTF Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 SNAP! Let me know what the GEAX tyres are like. Enjoy the ride!
