    2020 Trance Range Extender

    Hi Andy, Thanks for the reply. You are quite right, the extender plug would foul the crank arm but also the connectors are different. It appears that on a 2020 Reign and on the Energy Pak Plus they are a 7 pin arrangement whereas the Trance is a 5pin. I had already considered (should have...

    2020 Trance Range Extender

    Hi All, I would like to use a range extender on my 2020 Trance E+3 which came with a 500Wh battery. While all of my mates who have 625Wh are disappearing into the distance I’m turning around to go home. The problem I have come across is that none of Giant’s extenders suit my bike, in fact they...

    Tubed or tubless

    I too use the tannus armour inserts in both my bike and my wife's bike. Haven't had a puncture after 2,500 kms (touch wood). Mine is running Maxxis Minion DHF with the EXO casing and max grip (softest compound) on the front and Maxxis Minion DHR2 with EXO+ casing and max terra (medium compound)...

    Chain slip with Shimano XT 12 speed in top gear

    Could Rick Bullotta be on to something when he mentions chain length? Have you checked if your chain is too long?

    2021 Cube Stereo 160 TM Clunk sound?

    First, make certain that the noise isn't a cable clunking inside the frame. If you're certain it's coming from the headset, and this is only an educated guess, (I'm not a bike mechanic) there may be movement between the headset cup and the frame. As this is occurring when the bike is stationary...

    2021 Cube Stereo 160 TM Clunk sound?

    This is what my wife's 2020 140 did. The only cure seems to be replacement of the original headset with a better one. Here's a link to a thread that should help. Stereo hybrid 160 replacement headset - EMTB Forums

    Stereo hybrid 160 replacement headset

    I've successfuly fitted the Cane Creek headset and it's a vast improvement on the stock FSA. FYI Daboss The old cups drifted out of the frame fairly easily and the new cups installed easily using my variation of Ozcycle's headset press. The new crown race installed relatively easily using...

    Many Thanks MrPeaski. I invested $8 AUD at the local hardware and made my life easier. For those using metric measurements the pipe size is 40mm.

    Stereo hybrid 160 replacement headset

    Haven't installed them yet but I'm going to have a go tomorrow. I intend to proceed as MrPeaski did in post #12 in this thread. Only thing is the Cane Creek crown race doesn't have a split in it, so it will probably take some even careful tapping and some patience. For a home made headset press...

    Lets see your Giant ebike pics..

    My Giant Trance E3 with my wife's Cube 140. Both are leaning against an Australian native plant called a Yakka which only flowers when burnt. Unfortunately these have flowered, a result of the bushfires last summer. You can see some smaller burnt shrubby type trees directly behind them and if...
