Wheels....always the wheels[emoji106][emoji106]

 

You can save quite a bit of weight with some light wheels.

I was looking for more "bling" upgrades or more specifically things to make my bike more unique.

 

I am quite happy with the performance of the bike and it has carbon wheels with giant hubs (DT Swiss I believe). The only issue i found is that the rear hub is eerily quiet, I mean like whisper silent.

 

I suppose one of these would be nice :whistling:  :

So just purchased My Anthem and I am super happy with it.

I am looking for any Ideas on customizations / extras to make it more unique.

 

My first thought was the handle bars and stem, probably blue. 

 

Pics or links to whats available would be appreciated.

So you have extra money that you need to or want to burn - and can't work out what to do.

 

Looks pretty dope to me.

My first thought was bars and stem. But it does have 700mm bars already which are plenty i think

This should go away after a few hours of riding, it's probably just jam packed with grease. My hubs get like that after a service.

 

If you're just looking for bling, you can do the cheap things like coloured grips, cables, stem spacers, seatpost clamp, skewers, etc.. My suggestion would be orange for some of these things.

 

Also, awesome bike, enjoy the ride!
