    Allowed: 220mm rotors on the rear of Reign E+ ‘22 onwards?

    Hi, have googled this, even asked giant a question directly but got a weird incomplete response (you can see it on the website of the Reign). Can I use, without invalidating my warranty, 220mm rotors on the rear of my 22 Reign E+? I know many of you have, i am a big fella on big mountains...

    BY THE PPOWWWERRRR OF GRAYSKULLLLLLL!!!!! (or, 'how I learned to laugh about changing tires with inserts')

    First of all - inserts are a game changer. Decided to go with Panzer inserts as seemed a good balance based on the Pinkbike reviews. Even with reasonable pressures (30psi plus) and decent sidewalls (Maxxis DD or WTB 'Tough' casings) was getting a lot of rear tubules pinch flats before inserts...

    I'm 1 month into E+ 1 ownership and indeed E-Biking, and absolutely loving the bike. Coming off a v long XL Pole, I am appreciating the shorter reach. Super fun with mullet too. As a long time RS and Manitou suspension guy, really enjoying the Fox kit front and back. Also bought a second, 800wh...

    Well, today was one of those crushingly disappointing new bike days!

    Hi there, I’m a recent joiner, so go easy :) An emotional day with my new, and first ebike. Long term mtber, but finally cracked! Bought a Reign E+ MX1 Pro, dealer put on all my ‘stuff’ (240 dropper, saddle, preferred tires etc etc) and i went to pick it up today. After setting everything...
