    Specialized riders - sizing question

    I'm keen for some feedback on your height vs frame size. I'm 185cm and recently test rode a large size Enduro 29er. The fit was good, but felt just a little too short in length for me. When It comes to purchase time (I'm now leaning towards the Stumpjumper 29er evo), maybe I need the XL...

    Tips to make a Anthem more trail oriented

    I've just put 120mm revelations on my anthem 29er, and swapped the 100mm stem for 80mm. Feels much better than stock form. Rides great too. It is my second frame, I've been on it for about 2-2.5 years after cracking the first (usual spot - seat tube/top tube junction) But like the other guys...

    Which lower headset bearing - Anthem 29er Alloy - Giant/FSA Overdrive headset?

    The lower bearing on my anthem headset is rooted. I know the obvious answer is to remove the bearing and take it to the LBS, but I'm wondering if anyone knows which one I need and can point me in the right direction to buy online. thank you

    2011 Anthem 29er x1 - cracked frame

    Update - New Frame Happy ending to this story - Giant supplied a new frame and I picked up the rebuilt bike yesterday. I got the 2013 X0 frame which looks great with the blue bits from the 2011 29er. No charge for swapping the parts over either. Thanks Giant! Thanks Bicycle Centre Cairns!
