And so it begins! :D
I know it's probably pointless when the bike is new, but when the time comes, I really can't rate Hope hubs enough, they're fecking great! Wheels just spin endlessly. Opinions vary on the noise they make but I like it :) it's a gentle "get out of my way" when on a trail :p
Yeah that's one thing about the Kula, rolls very nicely.
If I do go with a wheel rebuild I've already got Mavic rims there, so a good start.
Looking forward to get out on the trails with the new pedals, I have M520 pedals but these should
make it easier to locate the pedal when getting the foot back in
Have a Giant Anthem x love hitting the trails in ballyhourahttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...fec16f953f.jpg
Wow that is compact!
What's that like for weight? That's what put me off the earlier Giant full suspension bikes, even my Talon was heavy compared to other similar priced hardtailsQuote:

I got out on the road bike earlier for the first time in a few weeks, 17K nearly killed me, have the turbo trainer out in the sitting room to get a few K's in during the week, roads are way too dark and dangerous to be out cycling in the evenings down my way

Was out on the road bike myself earlier for the first time in a while. I love how fast it is, but road cycling just isn't the same as mountain biking! Really miss it :(
