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
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
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?
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
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
