Like i said today, there's not much else you can do to make that bike any lighter or any better. Its a "Giant" super weapon!
Crossmax wheels, carbon everywhere, full XTR... what more can one ask for??? Wait, i can answer that, a lot less rain...

i rode my bosses gt sensor 9r pro and giant anthem x 29er 0 (this model no mods) and im in love and if i was only 15 and saving for a car i would really look into it... i still might though Sticking out tongue

and it looks like your front travel isn't set right and dont have full travel?

She's a beauty....what chainwheel sizes are you riding up front?
How do you find the crossmark wheels with the schwalbe's?
How much does she weigh?

Enjoy it mate!

I have a stock 2011 Anthem 29er with Giant P-XC2 Performance 29er, eyeleted, double wall, alloy, 32H (Stock) rims.

Thinking about Karricup and draggin those wheels around (and around!)

What sort of weight saving are we talking going to Crossmax rims?

how much do you save on a seatpost?

thanks!
