RastaMan Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 OMF that's hawt... just don't agree with the bar tape colour and bottle cages... ye i tried something, but now seeing them together I agree the first look a bit better. Too bad I lost the front wheel, but I think I will put the bottle cages on the mtb and put black handlebar tape back on.

RastaMan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I see you changed the stem as well. "lost" the front wheel? Define lost?Ye the first stem was to long, so the foto was taken while I waited for the new one.Hit a pothole and the Rim cracked.. Got a replacement, but it doesn't have the branding on it Long Wheel Base 1

Well coming from a hardtail racing machine I would probably have some work to do... between the Anthem and the Trance at the moment... eish decisions decisions
Meezo Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Same post from the Enduro thread So, never ever though i would post here. Still not quite sure what i know or think i know about Enduro... nevertheless this bike is really really close to me as its taken me from May '14 when i purchased the frame 2nd hand until about last week i finally completed it. Tomorrow should hopefully be her first ride, still need some tips on setup.Let me tell you this, my everyday bike is a Steel Rigid 29er, its my all time favourite. This here is my very first Dual/Full suspension bike. The rear seems very soft and bouncy, my weight is about 63kgs, i've just pumped the rear shock to about 160psi the front taken pressure from my racing bike is about 105psi. Specs are as follows : Giant Trance X 29er Small FrameSuntour Epicon 120mm ForkFox Float RP23Shimano XT ICE Tech Brakes 180mm F and 160mm RGiant Stealth Dropper PostSram X9 Type 2 Long Cage Rear MechSram S100(not sure) Carbon CranksWolftooth 34T UpfrontXT 11-32 CassetteXT Trail PedalsRapide 720mm wide Flat BarsFUNN 80mm StemESI Chunky Green GripsSelle Italia SLR SaddleMaxxis Ardent 2.25 Upfront and Bontrager EXP 2.20 Rear Enjoy!!! bullet77, BenReaper, s14phoenix and 4 others 7
TrApT Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Just in case some one is interested, I have a Giant Reign X. I recently replaced all the bearings for the suspension pivots at Giant in Durbanville (awesome service BTW) and after a ride at Jonkershoek I noticed some play in the rear suspension. I had a friend of mine machine me some bushes a while ago ( a month or so ) and well, they were worn out, completely. See image. Turns out that Fox make mounting hardware in various sizes to fit different frame sizes and shocks. Again Giant in Durbanville sorted me out instantly while I was in the store, even though they were lank busy. No more play and it seems that this could be a more permanent fix! Most of you probably already know this, but I was uneducated and thought that I would share.
TrApT Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 This was taken last week at Jonkershoek. The Reign has to be the most fun bike I have owned. Brett 1
