Hi All
I've just bought a Giant 2 2009 through my bike to work scheme, i plan to ride to work most of the week and then hit the trails on weekends. I've done Dalby occasionally and it's going to be this type of trail i'll be riding, the bike currently has WTB Laser Diisc XC rims and Hutchinson Piranha 26x2.0 tyres, i'm thinking about going Tubless, Can anyone suggest tyres and rims etc.. that would be worth considering or do you think i should just stick with what i have?

If you have just bought it I would stick with it for now.
If you decide it is really for you and as things wear out, then you can look at upgrading.
Or you may decide to get a different bike if you do more and more.
So just be patient and enjoy for now.0 -
if your getting a lot of pinch flats its worth doing otherwise it would be a waste of money.0

Stick with tubes for now. It will make it easier to change tyers for different conditions and if your riding alot on the road you will wear tyers out pretty fast too. Save your money towards the next bike.Yeti SB66c 20130
