Anthem: The build continues.
Whilst finishing the latest issue of the mag a big, yet surprisingly light, box from Madison arrived. Inside were a more bits to help me get my Giant Anthem up and running.
A full Shimano XTR drivetrain should see me flicking through the gears like a pro even if I’m not riding like one and DT Swiss 4.2D rims are plenty light and, importantly, have red decals to match the frame. I’m only partially joking…
I’ll be converting these to tubeless, as is the fashion round here it would seem, and will be trying out the rather splendid looking Maxxis CrossMark tyres.
So, it’s getting there, just a few more bits needed then I can actually get riding it!

Awesome build kit
Watch out for those tyres though- great at first and then no traction for climbing AT ALL. If your riding is on wippet smooth trails then great- and rocks etc- watch out!
