Yes I feel the same way. Had 2 Reigns and 2 Trances. 2 motors replaced on the Reigns but no real problems with the Trances. All of them had issues with not turning on after they were washed no matter how gently and I got tired of them and sold all and got 3 new Levo’s. The Levo’s are worse...
Yes I also had 2 replacement motors for my Reign E. Mine broke the gears on both occasions. One was after a small drop of about 3 feet it suddenly made a big pop and the other was going over a log at speed when it did the same.
Let them put a cable on it and see what happens. Like most bike shops they know nothing about electronics it seems. From your symptoms it would not be the battery, mode switch or speed sensor. Would likely be a problem with power from the battery or tcu to the motor or the motor itself. I had a...
Come on out here to NC. It’s going to be 72 tomorrow which is very unusual but I’m not complaining! Any word on 22 Reign availability on the west coast? They say maybe none available here. I saw a large at a shop in CA. but nothing anywhere otherwise.
Our two Reigns did the same thing with the stock pads. I went to truckerco on eBay and got some of their pads and had great results. Can’t remember right off but there’s a yellow and a black colored pad and one is resin and one is metallic that they offer. Both did well with no noise, the...
I also could not find any new locally at my dealer or from Giant online and there was no eta. I bought new or barely used batteries on eBay and pinkbike but the real problem has been getting the battery covers. I have 3 Giants, 2 Reigns and a Trance all 2020. Have had one ordered for our Reign...
The spanner nut on the right side of my Reign worked it’s way loose recently and made noise under load when pedaling. It took me a bit to figure it out. Finally I realized the sprocket had some side to side play and I removed the crank arm and tightened the nut that holds the spider for the...
Here is the stock post for a Medium Reign and a 0neup 150mm post. The minimum insert for the Giant post is 110mm and the Oneup 150 is 94mm. I’m not sure if this is exactly what you are asking but the Oneup 150 works great in my Reign E size medium
I’m running mine stock with no air spacers and 65psi. I weigh 175lbs. It is very supple on the small stuff and has good hold up in the jump. I would strongly suggest 160mm the extra lets you run a lower pressure and have the same ride height. If you go to a trail with big jumps you can run 75...
I have a Marzocchi Bomber with 160mm on mine and it’s the best upgrade I think you could do. Made the bike better in every way. And this fork is identical internally to a Fox 36 and cheaper. The extra 10mm makes it much better and dose not affect it in anyway negatively. You could go 170mm I...
Go ahead and order a 160mm Bomber for the big stuff. It will make that Trance a true do it all bike. But not as awesome as the Reign of course, but we tried to tell you that earlier. ?
I’d say a medium Reign or a medium or large Trance at 5-8. The Reign is pretty stretched out compared to the Trance. I’m 5-10 and have a medium Reign and Trance. The Trance feels definitely shorter. But my son is 5-8 and rides a large Reign with a 45mm stem and prefers it over the medium so like...
I have both. If you are truly interested in jumping and big drops get the Reign. It’s a beast for that stuff. The Trance is capable and can handle some pretty big stuff but the Reign is very confidence inspiring and does have a better battery cover for water protection although I’ve never had...
Yes with my bikes I used Permatex dielectric greese on all the connectors but not from when they were new. On one of our Reigns the main power connector was corroded slightly when I took it apart the first time after about 500 miles. I cleaned it with contacts cleaner and greased it but it will...
I can surely see how these bikes would be big trouble in a wet climate. We have 2 Reigns and a Trance and don’t ride them when it’s wet here because of the terrain and dirt make up. But when I wash them very carefully the Reigns(but never the Trance)will often times not turn on until I remove...
