Thanks heaps for the replies. NZ here we come!

Howdy, We're planning a family holiday to NZ. Has anyone here been to Rotorua with a young family? We've got a 10 and 6 year old and are wondering if there are any tracks they could ride, especially the 6 year old. Also, any opinions on what's a good length of time to stay there given the...

Item: Giant Defy Advanced SL 1 2015 Medium size Location: Batemans Bay (Sth Coast NSW) Item Condition: Bike has done about 500km. It is as new with the exception of a tiny bit of rub on one chain stay where my heel rubbed when riding. Got tape on that spot after the first ride so no more...

Well, thanks heaps for the advice and personal experiences everyone. I put my money down on a Remedy 29er. Totally different to the Anthem SX I was originally thinking and a bit closer to the Nomad. Minimising pedal strikes was high on the list for me and given people's experiences I...

Thanks again for the thoughts. There's too many choices in bikes!

I'm with Asteron Insurance. No exclusions about cycling.

Thanks heaps for the replies everyone! I hadn't thought about the BB height figure being at rest and the Nomad having quite a bit of sag due to the 6" travel. Given the experience Travis has had I might keep looking around and see if I can find something closer to 345 or so mm. Thanks...

Hello, The trusty old Nomad is getting a bit long in the tooth and I'm thinking of getting an Anthem SX Advanced 27.5 to replace it. Something a bit different. The BB height on the Anthem SX is about 15mm lower than the Nomad at 339mm and I was wondering if it would be prone to pedal...

Item: Giant TCR Advanced 2 2014 Medium Location: Batemans Bay NSW Item Condition: As new. Ridden 6 times. Specs are unchanged and as per Giant website. Please note there is a very small section where the clear coat has lifted off (see pic). Bike came like this. Reason for selling: I'm...

Drilled through the BB of my alloy Nomad 5 years ago for same reason you mentioned. Haven't had any problems.

Had one of these for a few years. Rode it everywhere. Insanely fun and confidence inspiring bike! GLWS.

Thanks for all the info Willy Pete!

Thanks heaps Mitchy!!

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'll check out the bdop site. Definitely want to go a wide rim set up to run a 28 or 30c. Final question! The cassette is an 11 sp. All the hubs I've looked at say suitable for Shimano 8/9/10 speed. Does the 11 speed cassette fit on or do I need a new...

Thanks Calvin, I was thinking I'd need to adjust the caliper when I switch over wheels. I only race once a mth or so though so shouldn't be a big issue.

Thanks heaps Mitchy for the info!

Thanks heaps mitchy. I thought I'd have to lace it to a road rim but a narrow 29er rim would fit would it? Guessing I couldn't run road tyres but would need to go a slick MTB if I went that way? Model I'm getting is the Advanced SL 1, wheelset is SLR-0. What's your take on those wheels for...
