Rouxenator Posted June 25, 2016 Share 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. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk 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......

Inhlanzi Posted June 25, 2016 Share Let's keep it about Giant, chaps. I ride an Anthem too, love it. More Toyota Hilux 4x4, than Corolla. bullet77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxenator Posted June 25, 2016 Share it is most probably 99% riding I would absolutely hate. i.e, flat gravel roads, boring......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 .....

dancordt1 Posted July 3, 2016 Share So am I the only one with a Giant hardtail 29er ?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. Long Wheel Base, Rouxenator, VolkAdik and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxenator Posted July 3, 2016 Share 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 VolkAdik, Long Wheel Base, dancordt1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancordt1 Posted July 4, 2016 Share 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 BenReaper, Rouxenator and VolkAdik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
