Wait, hold on a second there!...So you're saying basketball shoes were designed for basketball?? Lay off the hashish....Next you'll be saying that bottled water is just regular water, but in a bottle.

@Eddy Current please stop inhaling degreaser before posting

Why on earth would anyone do this? What's the reward?

I vote Reign

@Rob Hancill Great video! I'd love to see another video of equal calibre with the Giant Reign, Commencal Meta Power SX and other longer travel bikes

That might just be the dead zone of travel that appears when the bike is suspended. Unless he's got a new shock (unlikely) I calculated that the travel can be extended to just under 150mm Standard: 52.5mm stroke = 140mm travel - therefore each mm of stroke = 2.66mm of travel New shock: 55mm...

Are you still using the 'long' standard Giant stem?

Interesting:unsure::unsure: that does make good sense. I thought the walk assist mode was a bit tricky to use being on the underside of the controller. I' I wonder if the software can be updated via bluetooth?

Have you extended the fork travel as well? If not, then our bikes have probably similar bar heights.

I've upped my fork to 160mm and have a 35mm stem with 30mm Renthal carbon bars. I personally feel this is the limit for raising the nose. I was tempted to go for 40mm bars but I'm already of the verge of lifting the front end on tight switchbacks on climbs. Don't forget that by transferring...

If you really want the top shelf pie(s): Your guide to great pies in Selwyn I've witnessed physical altercations over who gets the last pie from the warmer at the Hororata Pub, they're that good!

Sorry I meant 35 rear, 30 front (have amended) I just get better performance from higher pressures, the bike feels more quick, precise and lively. Admittedly, it's a rougher ride at lower speeds but once you start charging, it works perfectly. Keep in mind I'm about 115-120KG too Yeah, I love...

If you really want to get balls deep into some A-grade NZ adventuring, check out Craigieburn Trails – Castle Hill The "Edge track" is my most memorable EMTB experience thus far. Beautiful country, secluded and not too many tour busses and german backpackers shitting in ditches.

During peak season tho?? We toured the South Island last year in January and turned around once we got to Q-town, it's just sooo busy. couldn't even imagine the drive to Milford which is a prick even when it's quiet

After a few months of testing variations of the 27.5 Maxxis Assegai on my Trance, I can say it's the best piece of rubber on the market! BUT... not a 10/10... I run the Assegai in the front in the lighter EXO casing with the "intermediate to soft" Maxx Terra compound, on the tail end I've...

Take it into the shop now!

As your NZ correspondent I recommend the following: Queenstown - Gondolas, and A-grade DH trails shaped by the gods, doesn't get any better Rotorua- You could spend 7 days in Rotorua alone! more enduro than DH focused but epic riding. Christchurch - new bike park with a chairlift - 'good'...

terrible choice in beer

Glad to hear!! happy riding #SendIt
