    Chappy and the Champ

    My dad bought these at a garage sale in 1993. I've decided to put them back to good use. The Chappy, in the foreground, is 45 years old, and operates well but the jetting is finicky. Its a 72cc engine that should be more powerful than it is. The Champ, 44 years old, is waiting on parts. Update...

    Garmin users: Training Status and the Power Sensor

    Is anyone getting accurate power sensor data from their Giant ebike, while connected to a Garmin cycling computer? My 2021 Trance x will connect with a Garmin Edge830 and/or a Fenix6, no trouble, and most the information field's sent to the Garmin appear accurate, except the power sensor😡 The...

    Who else thinks automode sucks?

    If automode was the only option, I'd never buy a Giant emtb. I'm I alone?

    Trance×~ rear hub fail? Now a mullet.

    The rear hub on my 2021 Trance x e+ pro 1 failed yesterday, in a similar fashion to how my 2019 Trance E+ pro1 failed. The freehub interface stripped the threads out of the hub body. The ratchet and paws are perfect though lol. 975 miles and less than a year of ownership. Let's see what the...

    Anybody done a Kindernay on a Trance or Reign?

    Recently, my LBS sold my 2019 Trance e+ for $2500, and I used the proceeds to order a Kindernay for my newer Trance×. I'm curious if anybody else has performed the conversion to Kindernay?

    Something critical lost in translation?

    Ordered these on Ebay as replacements for an infrared camera I have. But I'm afraid to bring them in the house after reading the name on the battery☠ Seriously though, is this an error in translation or something more ominous?

    Gaint wouldn't sell me a 32T CR LOL

    Giant would not sell me a 32T version of the OEM chainring for my Trance X. Giant said something that being a Dr of Stupid I can really appreciate To paraphrase 'The OEM Chainring couldn't possibly be worn out, and changing the gearing would alter performance'. No shit? And all along, I've...

    Ok battery wizards, why not charge cold batteries?

    What is the technical explanation for the warnings about charging below freezing? For years we were told cold storage is best, even seen a youtube video with the Tesla engineer claiming he stores his lipos's in the freezer, or something to that effect. I know about high currents being a...

    Who has experience with SunRingle DUROC wheel sets?

    Looking for wheels online. SunRingle DUROCS show up from time to time on eBay. There are 40 and 50 mm widths available in the hardware I need. Complete wheel sets for $250 USD. 50mm seems too wide for me, but 40mm cant be too much different than the 35's that came OEM. Anybody using these...

    Deore Freehub upgrade?

    It took me months to get my mud wheels, and now that I need them, the rear Deore FH-M6010-B is acting up after only a few rides. The freehub has slop, and I believe it's enough to compromise shifting. IT'S NOT the cassette and lock ring as that's good and tight, but the body and with it, the...

    Shimano Derailleur RD-M8000-GS vs. RD-M8100-SGS Cage Length and general longevity.

    Iv'e worn out the pivots on my RD-M8000-GS derailleur. Its still working OK, but getting sloppy. I'm considering giving an RD-M81000-SGS a try, but I'm curious if it's as tough as the M8000 and how much longer the cage is? Does anybody have an opinion after using them both?

    2.8 e-wild on rear of 2019 Trance e+. TOO WIDE?

    Is anybody else running the 2.8 ewild on their Trance, and experiencing the chain getting into the side knobs? Its usually when moving pretty fast, but not peddling. The chain is correct length, and the derailleur is clutched and though worn out, is in pretty good shape.

    FLOAT DPX2 setup and customer code Trance

    Ok, in another thread I've reported that my Float DPS performance shock gave up the ghost. I've now installed a DPX2 Factory- Custom Code D3LL. First thing that seemed odd was I needed 10 Psi more air pressure than with the DPS to achieve 25% sag. Maybe this is normal? I went for a ride and...

    Exploded view trance rear suspension

    Anybody have one? I'm greasing all the bearings, have it apart, and cant remember how it all goes back together? Its really down to two sets of spacers used to gap the lower connector link. The ID and the width of the spacers are equal and only differ in OD. They fit universally it seems, as...

    My Dad and I bought this car In New Hudson Michigan back around 1992. Later, he restored it, finally completing the project in 2007. At 79 yrs old, Dad wanted it out of the barn, and told me to come get it! I hauled it home yesterday. The car was always solid, with almost no rust, but...
