    Giant Anthem X 29er - See first post for info

    great looking bike/ setup. Always thought it'd be cool idea if Giant moulded the garmin socket into the Connect carbon stems - they just dont take the rubber band mounts too well do they.

    9spd chain with 10spd chainrings?

    I learnt the hard way > a M773 rear mech (10sp shadow) can not be used to replace a M772 (9sp shadow) given 9 speed XT shifter and 9 sp cluster. the cable pull ratio is different meaning you can only get around 5 or 6 cog spread, and it rattles and carries on like a bitch. It just does not work.
