I got a bike 2 weeks ago from a dealer,brand new its a Giant Talon 3 GE,went to clean the chain and cassete and while removing the wheel i noticed a small piece fall of to the floor and upon further inspection i noticed some paint chiping on the part where the hanger is.Should i be concerned and file a waranty or is this cosmetic and easy to solve with some matched paint and clear coat?
I just bought this 29" Carbon XC bike.
The fork is Manitou Machete and it's manufactured 10/2018.
The groupset is SLX M7000 with MT500 brakes.
Black Peak hub, 142mm rear with WTB i23 rims.
I swapped tires last night. Previous tires were 2.6 Minions.
New tires: 2.4 Continental Magnotal/Xynotal and I’m digging the speed.
That's it. That's the post.
Getting back into biking after 11+ years. Got my new bike the beginning of April, this was my longest (but still short) solo ride.
Hi All, got my first hardtail and hit some trails, good fun. Slightly strange question but how do you guys hold the handles?
My left I have thumb wrapped under and two fingers on brake, feels natural. No gear shifters on the left to get in the way.
My right the thumb has to either go awkwardly above the gear shifter or I just leave it on the shifter. Finger usually on shifter and not brake at all as it would be bad to accidentally pull on the front brake?
Gen 3 Roscoe 7
140mm Rockshox Recon Silver RL -> 150mm Fox 36 Performance Elite Grip2
2.6 Bontrager XR4 Team Issue -> 2.5 Maxxis Assegai (F) & Minion DHR II (R) MaxxTerra EXO+
Any advices for tuning the fork?
I've always been very basic and not creative with black pedals seat, grips etc. Having a new fathom 2, and needing some different pedals I thought it could be fun to try something non black 😂. Sorry for this stock pic, but it shows the true frame color well - moss green/forest green?
Curious what accent colors the community would go with? I was thinking green pedals- Oneup or RaceFace Chester. But a earth brown seat and grips also came to mind- maybe pedals as well if I found some. It does limit you to seat models however, (I'd been looking at Ergon which are only black). Blue and green are my favorite colors, but even my non creative brain thinks that would clash?.. Orange pedals and grips? Appreciate suggestions!
Have a choice between the new Meta HT V3 or new Trek Roscoe.
Pricing in Aus means I can build.up the roscoe for a few 100 less, also concernet at 6'1 the commencal is abit shorter and we cant get XL in Aus.
Or a 2nd hand 2021 Honzo AL
What would you choose?
I was a big BMX guy when I was younger, got the itch to get back into biking and decided to pick this up yesterday.
It was one of those perfect idyllic afternoon rides that just sticks in the brain as a perfect day in the bike.
Loving the 50mm compared to the stock 70mm stem. Wondering if I can get away with removing a spacer?
I had an hour to kill, no time to pack anything. Just me, my bike and the disappearing sun
It comes with a dropper with 170mm of travel. Fitted with Rockshox Recon Silver RL fork with 150mm of travel. Shimano MT200 hydraulic disk brakes and 10 speed shimano cues drivetrain.
