looks great but have you ever felt too scrunched up ridin one of those? they feel way to short in the overall length. great for cornering but a little unstable in my opinion. nice colour coordination tho, defo one of the best

The large 2010 feels like a small!! Head angle is not as slack as you would think.

Ian is a master of photography, the bike looks great in general, but this picture makes it so vivid and it looks like it`s popping out !

Hopefully they've lowered the price since they're stocking it with Giant "in-house" products instead of name brand stuff.

smike (Aug 11, 2010 at 13:07)

Doesn't look like any more in-house stuff than last year... and a wheel upgrade to boot.

seraph (Aug 11, 2010 at 13:11)

Seatpost, stem, and handlebars from what I can see.

D-Owen (Aug 11, 2010 at 14:54)

well in the vid it said 4400 cad wich seem pretty f*cking cheap if you ask me

dhdeven (Aug 15, 2010 at 20:10)

Smike, Wheel upgrade?Its a downgrade.

smike (Aug 16, 2010 at 7:10)

Heh... matter of opinion I guess. Sun Equalizer to EX500? I guess my old EX5.1's were like cheese... but they sure were light!

dhdeven (Aug 16, 2010 at 13:05)

Worst rims.Wayyyy too weak!

seraph (Aug 16, 2010 at 18:33)

My EX5.1Ds held up just fine throughout the season. However I was using them for AM, not DH. Seems like they'd be a little bit soft for DH.

smike (Aug 16, 2010 at 18:35)

Yeah, I would not call EX5.1D's weak. They are an enduro/AM rim, not DH, so it's not really fair to say they don't hold up to what they're not intended for. Then again, they're spec'd on a full-on DH rig here, so I guess it's fair game.

D-Owen (Aug 17, 2010 at 12:07)

ive seen those on quite a few dh rigs and to be honest they never have any flat spots or wobbles so who knows, they may be a decent rim for dh

seraph (Aug 19, 2010 at 10:40)

Because you're just encouraging them.

dhdeven (Aug 19, 2010 at 12:02)

I have used them for downhill racing, and demo'ed them.And I only weigh 130.

bbiKer3 (Aug 20, 2010 at 10:11)

then get smooth little kid

dhdeven (Aug 20, 2010 at 12:12)

.You can't not get flatspots when you run 23 PSI no matter how smooth you are.

bbiKer3 (Aug 21, 2010 at 0:07)

Well then my riding style must be a miracle. And seriously 23psi is getting on the low side good for mud but ur efficiency is shit on dry.

dhdeven (Aug 21, 2010 at 10:45)

Ok then what PSi do you run?For racing, 23-25 psi is usually perfect.Why are we fighting?You thing these rims are strong.I know their not.

seraph (Aug 21, 2010 at 10:55)

"Think," and "they're."

D-Owen (Aug 21, 2010 at 19:25)

dude really correcting peoples spelling is so 5th grade

seraph (Aug 22, 2010 at 11:18)

On the contrary; if someone doesn't correct your spelling, then you'll go through life sounding like a snot-nosed teenage kid. That is unless of course you simply are a snot-nosed teenage kid.

dhdeven (Aug 22, 2010 at 17:38)

I know how to spell those.It was a keyboard mistake, and I did not care enough to spell check like an English assignment.

seraph (Aug 22, 2010 at 17:49)

Mistaking "their" for "they're" is not a keyboard mistake, it's a grammar mistake. Typing "theyre" or "theu're" would have been a keyboard mistake.

dhdeven (Aug 22, 2010 at 18:01)

Can you just stop talking please?

b4life (Aug 22, 2010 at 20:00)
