I checked on www of both companies: speedbox and volspeed. Both say NOT to update the ebike's software and that both devices are not compatible with the newest software. I stopped updating and using ride control app before the made this recommendation so my chip still works. But the fact that...

Yep. I noticed that they blocked it. Download apk directly and block the ability to automatically update the app. If you have Android. I will try to use the v1.22.0.11 version today. https://apkpure.com/ridecontrol-app/com.GiantGroup.app.RideControl2/versions

On VOLspeed page there is no chart but they clearly say above which version the dongle stops to work: https://www.ebiketuningshop.com/products/volspeed-v4-fuer-giant-syncdrive

Good finding.

That is not the cover for reign 2022.

This is a message I got 60 seconds ago: Dear Customer, Due to current events, we would like to draw your attention to problems with our tuning products for Giant bikes. The notice concerns the following products: Article Description 1197 Ebike Tuning for Giant Syncdrive V3 1234 Ebike Tuning...

I switched to Hope. I had more than 20 rides since then. Usually the noise turned itself on much earlier. So I confirm swap of the upper headset fixes the issue. And that's perfect because the number of options for the lower headset is extremely limited.

Yeah. I did with mine everything I could. Replaced the grease with DT Swiss red bearing grease. Put additional spacers to make the retaining ring to finally do it's job. And more. The upper headset worked for me for around 10 rides. Then the creak started again. Replacing it was a blessing...

Replace the whole upper headset. I replaced it with Hope. I wanted to test it thoroughly before doing any report here. I can confirm that all creaking disappeared. Trying to make the Giant's headset work is futile. I tried everything. Consider also replacing the dropper post lever. The one...

Yep. I'm using Garmin edge and sometimes just the watch. When I press the special key combo to turn on the tuning chip maximum speed appears on the display to show that chip is on. Then you have couple of seconds to change the max speed. It's in the Vollspeed manual. Before switching on the chip...

I am still using Vollspeed. I didn't upgrade giant's software for a long time now (a year?). One. There is no need. Two. Rumors were enough for me not to upgrade. I don't want to brick the bike. Everything works. And going above 25kmh is absolutely my priority. So updating the software now...

I never tried it but someone suggested that going into airplane mode and only letting the app to use Bluetooth causes the app to start without trying to update. Try to find this info on this forum. Regarding updating. Even after your warrantee/guarantee period simply go to your giant shop and...

That makes a lot of sense. Usually suggested SAG for metal spring is much less so less pedal strikes and higher ride. What's your weight with gear? Mine is around 84kg. I never used a coil spring in this bike and I don't know what should I buy if I go metal. I ride sag between 28-30% and a lot...
