Similar Bike to Giant Reign 2?
I was just wondering if anyone knows any bikes similar to the Giant Reign 2 or were to test one still in stock? It seems Giant has discontinued that range and replacing it with something by the name of FX in August.
Just to clarify I'm looking for a 150+mm travel bike that is mainly for decent's but still light enough to ride up hills, any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers

MTB Coverage In the News
Just wondering, how often do the mainstream news channels have a piece on MTB.
I don't watch much commercial news, but when I do, I hardly see anything about cycling, let alone MTB.
That said, does the MTB community like to keep the gem a little secret, or would we like to see more coverage on comps/achievements/events?
Here's a little 2 minute piece Channel 10 News did on off-road hand cycling last week.

Using tubeless tyre with tubes
Hay guys,
Slashed my tyre went to the shop and in my haste grabbed a tubeless tyre (Maxis Crossmark)just wondering if it is ok to use a tube in these tyres?
Reason I ask is that once the tyre is inflated it has a noticeable whobble (rim is straight) I have put different tubes in and pumped them up to max pressure unfortunately it is persisting. So I'm trying to figure out if it is the tube causing the issue or have I grabbed a dickie tyre?
Cheers

Tyre query
Can a non tubeless tyre be use on tubeless rims without a tube?

Specialized Comp Carbon

From some of the chat rooms It sounds like they have some issues with squeaks and bearings failing. But I like the fact they ride like a hardtail
