Dixie...I have a 2015 Giant Stance 1. I've installed DT Swiss wheels, and changed the tires, as well as installed a few carbon parts here and there. Overall I've been quite pleased with the bike. I did have a bit of trouble with the rear brake initially but I think it was poorly adjusted by the shop I purchased it from. From my perspective, I don't think you could go wrong with a Stance, provided you're not looking for a dedicated downhill bike.

60 fps + KZbin unfortunately mean a lot compression artifacts due to insufficient bitrate. While it'll look a lot better as origin footage, after KZbin compression it tends to look worse for videos with trees, leaves and high speed.

@klassyken8 жыл бұрын
I personally am not crazy about the plus size bikes at the moment, the reverse compatibility on most manufacturers is not there ( you cant run a 2.3 inch tire for example on a 27.5 inch wheel practically although possible) I think there is a sweet spot for most applications, in general 3.0 tires are overkill for all but snow, loose sand etc. The larger the tire volume at the same weight as a smaller tires less volume equates to weak sidewalls and bouncing at higher speeds. If you get a tire at 3.0 with stronger sidewalls you then have more weight, which you loose some of the maneuverability and snappy handling. SO it is possible as tire technology progresses we could be using larger tires for DH. For now I have been happy on 2.4 inch tires this whole season and have ridden a huge variety of terrain. I would run a 2.5 , 2.6 and maybe even a 2.8 in some instances. To summarize i think plus sized bikes and tires could be very helpful for beginner mountain bikers, as mentioned above they have a few applications where they are a good choice, but at the moment just a FEW, perhaps not enough for an all round mountain biker with one bike.. Until tire technology catches up ill be on 2.4-2.6 the early part of the season, pedaling up and down.

I went with the Yeti SB5+ and love it. It's really fun! My go to MTB. Climbs like a goat, flows through the trails, and want's to launch off jumps. Perfect for me on the sand and loose over hard-pack around yee ole riding grounds of Alifia. You're welcome to try another test ride, next time you're back in town.

@The_Sampler8 жыл бұрын
Yea, I chose the medium for the enduro, but am feeling that I miss some manueverability and control with this size large.

The diameter of a plus size 27,5 is not the size of a 29“ inch. On top of that, dont forget to bring the Tire sag into the calculation. You have way more Tire sag on the plus Tire, this decreases the Tire diameter Even more.
