    Tubeless ready wheelset for Giant Anthem X 29er - Recommendations please.

    One set I got from Wiggle didn't come with rim tape and valve but the set from Pushy.com did. Both site states if it does or does not. Not hard to do if it doesn't.

    Tubeless ready wheelset for Giant Anthem X 29er - Recommendations please.

    Yes these are the easiest rims to setup as tubeless. I only ever need to use a floor pump. I've got the Crest for my wife's bike Giant Anthem W 29er and the Arch Ex for my Reign.

    Illawarra escarpment trail

    Or you could head a bit further south to Kiama and do the coast track. Undulating grass hills with awesome ocean views.

    James Williamson Enduro Challenge

    You sounded like the guy my wife and i were talking to at the finish line. Events like this are great for new comers very relax atmosphere. Elite guys in MTB are totally different to other sports they are just one of us.

    Chocolate Foot Nowra Round = AWESOME

    I hate people listening to music during a race, its dangerous as in your case he couldn't hear you and if someone had stacked and was hurt yelling out for help he wouldn't have heard. Glad most races now have it in the rules that headphones are banned.
