    Define freeride, Ton.

    Giant Faith are pretty much bombproof in their new format.

    This is THE bike for you 🙂 Stiff as ****, and you will never brake it! Choose the coil option and bingo, perfect!

    You won't break it! Ride DH on it, jump on it, ride XC on it and tomorrow I'm taking it up a 1000m's climb to ride back down on it! It's fun.

    buy something that won't depreciate quickly

    or if you search your shed, there's probably something in there you could use

    it is now devoid of all things robust……….baring the el capitan, but that is my xc bike innit.

    Great bike to ride. Shop around for a good deal on a smoking spec and the world will seem a better place.

    You need to talk to Devin Lenz.

    He'll sort you out for sure.

    stu, done that already, it is in the pot..
    thing is the 29r forks available are not up to the job yet.
    a guy on mtbr has shoehorned some 29r wheels onto a pair of fox 36s using a dremmel i think….. 😯

    Yep there's a guy machining the brace out on the 36's so you can get a big boys wheel in there.

    Go on mate test it out for the rest of us. 😉

    might be a silly question, but i presume 29er wheels are up to Freeriding?

    freeriding as in a very strongly built bike suitable for riding off things i.e kerbs and steps on the way to work.

    and my 29r wheels are as strong as any fr/dh wheels.

    mmmmm, ok. Would like to see a really good rider on a 29er, not that i'm doubting 29er wheels, just curious as it seems new ground for 29er wheels?
