Was recommended not to go 2.8 eWild on the back on my 2019 Trance as there simply isn't enough clearance when riding in bumpy terrain. On the front is no problem.
My friend and I both have 2019 Trance Pro +1 bikes and the LBS replaced 3 of his rear hubs before the local Giant Rep approving replacements to a strong aftermarket hub. We were both approved for DT Swiss 350 Hybrids (e-bike specific) which comes with beefier spokes but my friend didn't want to...
Looks like they have an adapter in the kit....does that work for the 19's? Doesn't make sense for them not to make it compatible with so many 19's out there...
Long chainstays make it a mule for uphill climbs as you probably know but can be trickier in the tight technical stuff going down but I've gotten better at that area with practice. There is definitely a trade off for being a billygoat.
No one can come close to Giant's e-bikes in Canada when it comes to look, motor and component pack under $6k. My good friend spent 4 months testing every other bike out up and down the valley and ended up getting the Trance E+ SX 1 Pro (2019) | Men E-bike bike | Giant Bicycles Canada
Risky move in my opinion as Fezzari is direct to customer. I'd much rather have a Giant SX Pro with their warranty and my local bike shop support. To each their own
