Way too little… Too late…
A redesign in 2021 should at least net you a 69 ha
If you are M in Santa Cruz, you may be M/L in Top Fuel. I am at 175 cm tall (short)
Canyon is in general fairly slow and conservative to update. Look how long it took with the aero road. The Exceed is fairly modern for a hardtail, but the Lux looks dated now.
Silly question maybe as I’ve never ridden a dually properly.
I see the new procaliber as hard to go past value for money. How would the rear compliance compare to say an Epic or does the brain react quickly enough to give compliance over little bumps/trail buzz?
For me it’s looking like a Full Carbon entry level procaliber vs high-ish level Alloy Anthem. Kinda wondering why I’d be better off with an anthem (or similar)
I’m only doing up to 1/2 marathons and not competitively. For most of the riding I do a hardtail is perfectly fine - just when the distance goes up the constant jarring gets to my back pretty badly.
Great value for the price still.
I have almost 6,000 miles on my iPhone 7+ this year alone in a ziplock bag no issues. This is my 4th season with this phone and baggy combo. I’m in Texas so plenty of heat and humidity but zero issues.
And the award for today’s random post goes to…
The big difference between how the isospeed on the procaliber works vs a FS is that the isospeed only adds compliance between the bike and the saddle. So if you ride over bumps and you are standing off the saddle then it would feel like any other hardtail. However, FS puts it’s compliance between the rear wheel and the rear of the bike so you get that smoother ride even if you are out of the saddle.
Having ridden both:
The Procaliber is a slightly more compliant/plush hardtail
(insert giant chasm of rear suspension travel)
The Epic is an efficient full suspension bike
They are not comparable in nearly any way, shape or form, even when the Epic is set to full firm. Completely different feel at the pedals at basically every point while riding.
I have to assume he had a few too many tabs open and was headed for this one…
Hey I like awards! 
@wfenwick yes I am not a morning person and somehow commented on this thread vs. the ziplock bag discussion prior to my ride this AM.
Sorry, carry on!
Anyone else try the kom cycling sealant injector? Must say im very dissapointed as mine didn’t fit a standard Stan’s valve.
Mine fits fine after removing the valve core. Just using the tubing. Curious why it doesn’t work for you.
Edit: the tubing is much smaller in diameter than a valve core so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Maybe your valve is blocked with sealant boogers?
New tape and valves. It enters the valve stem but stops at the rim
No issues with my KOM injectors either. I’m using it with the stock valve stems that come with Enve wheels.
Separately, looks like the new Procaliber is a little portly. This article is saying 1670 gm. Probably going to hang on to my Air 9 RDO for now for days I feel like getting out on a HT.
It’s always been a little heavy because of the isospeed
22.5 lb as it sits here with pedals, 2oz sealant per tire, bottle cage, and wahoo mount. Only thing left is a 80mm bike yoke dropper that’ll add about 300g.
Got out for the first time today. Took it very easy since my collarbone still has fractures. Absolutely love the vpp. Feels extremely plush while riding but feels very stiff and doesn’t Bob at all when pushing hard.
Unfortunately my lower back still hurt, I thought full sus would fix that.
Looks beautiful. The purple accents are awesome. The Bike Yoke dropper will be a solid addition!
Back pain is tricky but it looks like you have some room to slide the saddle forward a little. Sometimes even a small forward adjustment can take the pressure of the lumbar vertebrae and discs.
When I was in the UK I only rode a hardtail, where I live now in Australia I only ride full suspension, if I were to return to the UK I would probably get a hardtail again, or maybe (at most) a SuperCalibre. For UK XC and marathon racing I don’t think the courses (and mud) really justify full suspension.
Tough to bet the spec of the Giant XTC for this price, and this is CDN dollars
