So am I the only one with a Giant hardtail 29er ?

Seems like it. Maybe time to convert

Never. If it's too hard you're too old.

Hard headed comes to mind....?

Not really. I just honestly can't see the point of a dually. Unless you are riding 300km in one go or going down sheer mountain cliffs there is no need to go soft.

 

The way things are going I think it's time to go back to basics. We need less complicated bikes with better riders. Not the other way round.

I fully agree with you, so do all the EWS, DH and for that matter a large number of world XCO riders too................. Hell even slopestyle riders wouldn't see the point!! Pinarello with their K8S must have wasted all their R&D budget too on that sotftail road bike, totally unnecessary......

(The above would be typed in sarcasm font, but alas, there is no such thing)

 

So while I am envious at the mileage you do in a wek, month, year, etc, it is most probably 99% riding I would absolutely hate. i.e, flat gravel roads, boring......

Let's keep it about Giant, chaps. I ride an Anthem too, love it. More Toyota Hilux 4x4, than Corolla.

Nice stats there, yeah I have never been to G-Spot and I have never ridden it too. Nor some of the other trails in the area. Sounds like you are good with numbers, I need a new accountant, so maybe .....

I refuse to compare my bike to any Toyota!

I've got a Giant XTC Composite 29er. Had a full suss Scott Spark before that. Much prefer the hardtail. Less maintenance and easier to read the road.

 

[Rouxenator]

I salute you Dan! My dream ride is an XTC. Beautiful bike and beautiful picture too. 

 

This is a small section of what I did today : 

 

Notice the "massive tarred highway" in the background because the only single track in Stellenbosch is Jonkershoek and hardtails can only ride on big flat highways without cateyes because if you ride over one you might shatter your spine. 

 

Well that is at least what I gathered here 

 

[dancordt1]

The path in the background looks awesome. When I'm in SA I mainly ride the roads in De Doorns and Kleinmond. I should be back in December and I'll buy a 29er
