    Giant XTC SL, Why 27.5?

    You're right to an extent 'silentbutdeadly' I'd not looked at their 2016 range because quite frankly it doesn't interest me. The SL model of their hardtail frame is only 27.5, you have to get the non-SL model if you want 29" wheels (which was the original complaint in this thread) The...

    Giant XTC SL, Why 27.5?

    You've misinterpreted. Their 29er hardtail was fantastic. They couldn't make their Maestro dual suspension platform fit a 29inch wheel without the chainstays being very long. Hence they started only offering it in 27.5. Then they had to convince people 27.5 was 'just as fast, but more...

    Giant XTC SL, Why 27.5?

    My thoughts. Giant couldn't make their Maestro (the Anthem) suspension platform fit well on a 29er and hence needed to compromise on the geometry. So they made them 27.5. In order to convince people this was still a fast XC bike they made their hardtails 27.5 as well and marketed 27.5 as the...

    Help me choose a new bike?

    Is there an event you want to do between now and when the Trek will be available? In all honesty I'd wait. - New Boost frame/fork - probably a good think at your height/weight. - Comes with Fox 34, not the noodly 32 of most bikes in the category - again, good at your height/weight. - DRCV...

    VIC Dirty Gran Fondo - 17th May 2015 - Wandong - MTB / CX / MONGREL

    and if PVDP hadn't have been so hung over and slept the night before... Let's not forget Chris is a well credentialled road climber in the NRS and the fastest XCO style rider at the event...ignoring what style of bike he was on he was the favourite to win.

    Giant, how to pick between TCR, Defy and Propel

    Echo all of the above. The last consideration if this is going to be an all weather bike +/- commuter. TCR doesn't have fender mounts. The Defy might as it's Giant's 'endurance' bike. The Domane definitely does and it's a very slick setup. They're hidden when nothing is installed...

    new to road.. sizing query, trek specific + other options

    I'd say don't get sucked in by the 'deal'! The Madone is being phased out and a new model is about to be released. That's why it's cheap...and it's value will plummet the second the model is released. It is also the 'aero' bike which, all else being equal, is heaver with a harsher ride quality...

    Lysterfield 3 Race Series

    Fingers crossed I make it to this. That half hour earlier will make it tight from work, but more light to ride in is good. Has there been any feedback on race duration? I can't help but think if the race was 45mins-1hour we wouldn't need lights, it'd be more achievable and more likely to have...
