    Trance E+ elite rear wheel alignment

    Yes. Took it in to a Giant store who had another 3 elites in and they are all the same. Clearance is fine with a 2.4, a bit tight with a 2.6 but the chainstay protector is about 2mm thick so giving that a trim would help. I’m sticking to 2.4s anyway as I think they suit the bike better

    Trance E+ elite rear wheel alignment

    Yes. The axle is fine. It’s a UDH so axle’s shorter than the dropout. It’s not bent, it’s carbon The dropout with seems perfect, I.e. boost wheel slides in perfectly Tyre is a 2.6, they are species with a 2.4 but I know some people have them with 2.6 from the factory

    Trance E+ elite rear wheel alignment

    Does something look not right here? On the non drive side I have 15mm clearance on the chainstay, on the drive side about 5mm. could any advanced elite owners post a pic of theirs?

    Hope Pro 5 hubs.

    Yes, I see that. Is that the only difference other than the freehub body material?

    2023 Giant Trance X E+ / E+ Elite

    Any chance you could take a pic from underneath so I can see the clearance on the chain stays? Mine looks very odd indeed, have about 15mm clearance on the non-drip side and 5mm on the drive side

    Not worth saving a few grams on an e-bike hub when the bike is 23kg. Durability is much more important IMO

    Hope Pro 5 hubs.

    Just for my own clarification. Is there no difference between a pro5 Ebike and an regular pro5 other than the freehub?

    Sram UDH hanger and burley balls through axle, anyone found a solution?

    Brilliant! Just ordered one. I will get a rear rack on my bike if it kills me :)

    The Giant Advanced E+ elite is pretty much this perfect bike, new cells, full power motor. It’s a mullet and a bit heavier than the Rise, but if Giant can do it so could Orbea! Pretty sure they won’t though, sales of Wilds would be affected

    Review ZRace brake levers

    No flex at all, the numpty on the video hasn’t torqued up his camps - just got a set and for the money they are VERY good
