schwalbe marathons will work well. I had them on my 29er and they were great!

Lovely bike, but those guards :rolleyes:

Totally agree. I saw Brian Cox on stage in Kent last year from the Monkey cage radio program. He talked about this and proved that point. There is a huge container that can create a vacuum and he dropped a feather and a lead weight at same time and both hit ground at same time. I think it's on...

i'm sticking with sonos, the more you look the more you want. Sonos have been in the wireless business for years, although not perfect they are good quality and work well. I made a housing for one speaker and it's outside. In summer ,i sit in the hot tub next to palms with a cold beer and play...

I fell off my bike stationary going up a very steep hill off road I ran out of steam and just went on my right side hitting my head on ground ( i was clipped in and it happened so fast). The helmet took the knock, but it still hurt. If i didn't have it on i would have split my head open. I...

I think like most things it's the law of diminishing returns!. I could get 90% out of a decent midrange audio set up for a few grand, but to get to 97% it would be looking near 10 grand, and personally not worth it for me anyway. I could apply the same to my bike, do i really need an enve stem...

I loved my B&W speakers, but have downgraded if that's the right word to Sonos. The family just wanted ease of use and speakers they could connect spotify too in each room. If i'm honest i miss the sound quality set up i had, but accept ease of use etc is the way forward for me and family. I...

I agree with the physics, but in practice SW may have a point. It would be interesting to see a pro downhill rider test both bikes.

D8ve, don't forget the whisky in other hand when doing the 17mph average ;)

agree, bike feels well planted down hill.

A lot of tech to go wrong, especially electronic suspension hmmm. My view is some what tainted after having problems with previous bikes. i'll stick with the bosch motor as my bikes weakest point.

Eddie, how the hell did you manage to get that photo of deer. I know you have been practicing with photoshop;). Just saying, the last 10 years I've been riding kings wood, north downs and although i see deer including white ones, i never manage to get anywhere near close enough to get that kind...

Hope the motor is ok.:eek:

If your that bad at bike maintenance then i'd spend more if you can and get the Giant from a local dealer as you will need good customer service and warranty. The cheaper stuff is all fine and well, but you need some knowledge.

Me too. Sold / selling my B&W signatures, amps, processors etc.

SW / Flecc, totally agree with your thought process and understanding. However, it is clear that Danidl his own thoughts, mostly being incorrect:p. Anyone, who thinks valves don't add warmth and compares anything from Samsung in terms of audio quality etc, really!. My experience of anything...

Beautifully put and totally agree!

The best quality music i ever heard played was on vinyl, full of life!!!!!. CD and digital is very clinical. Ask any true audiophile over say 40yrs of age and he / she will agree. To qualify this and without being snobby, you have to have decent kit in the first place, an ALBA deck isn't going...

Just caught the tail end of this conversation. In my experience there's no doubt that currently, the likes of cat6 cabling is better than wifi, in terms of being able to carry 4k etc etc. However, so is a Linn sondek turntable connected via a flagship amp to B&W speakers, in terms of sound. The...

Bit of fun I suppose, but pointless.
