Tiny bit of lock tight on the bits you don’t take off on a regular basis won’t do any harm. Once you’ve been over them a few times in the first month there ok after that 👍
Hi, and welcome. Excellent choice of bike 👍.. So to answer your questions. There’s nothing wrong with the Giant app, but I only use it for setup, updates and mileage history. I use third party apps ( Komoot and apple) for recording rides and data as I find these more useful.
You can use Giants...
Bang on, I watched the embn vid and saw it 👍. One thing I was considering changing was to drop the cranks down to 165mm, anyone done that??
I run the shock open with a fair amount of sag which doesn’t help but I get quite a few pedal strikes on the rough stuff, or maybe I should just loose a few...
I find the FAZUA to be very good. The range is bonkers. I get the same as my 800wh battery in my giant Trance. It’s very quiet and the 60nm max is perfect for my level right now. Ring control could be better, but does the job, had no issues with it so far, plus paid £4600 for the bike so, you...
Today’s ride had everything, mountain, river, coast, ridge, beach, and finished off with 3 courses and a bottle of plonk for 14 euros, viva espana 🇪🇸x. 60 nm was definitely tested today and passed with flying colours. 32 km ride with 923 mtrs elevated and still 2 bars of battery left on the...
Makes sense to me, glad you got to the bottom of it. Shame your lbs couldn’t be arsed to do it for you, seat tube angle 🙄. Transx dropper though ? Is that what it should have shipped with, I thought they were giants own ?. Treat the Mrs to an axs one, she’ll love you for it 😍
Yes the seat should drop when you operate the lever with weight on, however I have had experience when they need a second push on the lever because I didn’t release the first time. They only tend to stick if the cable is not set correctly or they need maintenance. The stock droppers are ok, but...
Seat tube angle sounds like bs to me. Simply get the lbs to swap a post you have tested in the shop to her bike and if it doesn’t play up you know it’s the dropper, take minutes to do and should be warranty. If you just want to replace it, sram axs would be my recommendation.
No, it rests on the stock flap. But I did trim it so it doesn’t foul the seat stay. Also the bike has ride wrap, bit anal I know but I work hard to buy this stuff so like to look after it best I can.
Yup, had me going for a while until I found it in the manual 🥴. My other bike (Yamaha motor) was power on. Even with the assist at 25kg it was still hard work. Had the lyke for 4-5 months now and I really can’t fault it, knocks out some very expensive competition in my opinion, big fan 👍
Mate, I love it there. My bro lives in Worthing. I bike it over to Guildford a few times a year and do the downs link to his place. For me the South Downs is exceptional 👍
