New bike - older rider - would like a little feedback on three bikesĭirt Jump Bikes. Wider tire up front? Wider in rear? Same width for both? The Sexiest AM/FR/Enduro Hardtail Thread (Please read the opening post) It doesn't seem to be that harsh a ride but I haven't really ridden hardtails for many years. Tenacious on steep climbs and confident on singletrack descents. The bike is part of Giant 's Fathom 29 range of mountain bikes. It sports 29' wheels, is priced at 1,500 USD, comes in a range of sizes, including S, M, L, XL, has SR Suntour suspension and a Shimano drivetrain. The geometry is pretty nice with a, relatively, slack head angle. The 2019 Giant Fathom 29 1 is an All Mountain mountain bike.

The brakes aren't amazing but are fine for the forest. I put some bigger tyres on it and it runs tubeless. I bought it for using in the winter Epping Forest mud and it does this very well. I think I will change the fork however as it's ok but would like something a little more meaty. So far the gears change smoothly and the rims have stayed true. It rides very nice and is perfect for Epping Forest. The dropper post housing cannot go any lower than in the photos, I find this very annoying as the max extension point is too high for me! Tried taking the water bottle mounts out but it won't get any lower. Then once the photo is uploaded to Pinkbike, youncan use the photo number in the text box after clicking "link PB image" above the comment box. Go to your profile, click the "photos" section and then "photo uploader". I wanted a winter hardtail that can deal with the mud. The geometry seems pretty spot on as well. It also comes with Ardents which are no good for muddy riding. The stem, flats & tyres are not stock, but it does come with a short (50mm) stem. So far seems very very nice and pretty good value. The Features: The Giant Fathom 1 will stop at a moments notices with Shimano MT400 hydraulic disc brakes. The Frame geometry is designed around a 29 wheel set and an aluminium frame with 100mm of travel up front. Will be riding it Sunday & Monday so I will let you know. The Giant Fathom 29er 1 is superb as the climbing gets steep and rugged, but isn’t afraid on the descents, rolling with equal speed.

So far just rode it 15 miles home from work (Road only). I spent the extra because the 2018 model comes with tubeless rims and wider bars.
