    Cracked!!

    Good news! Giant NZ is going to replace the frame under warranty. Getting a small upgrade too. They're getting me a 2019 Trance E+ Pro 0 frame and battery cover. As much as I liked my Orange bike, I think the black is going to look very sexy!

    Ebike for very tall rider. Orbea Wild?

    I'm 6foot3 and can only say that 500mm reach should be a minimum for you. I sat on a 2020 Kenevo XL and it feels miles bigger than my Giant Trance E+

    Just say no to 29ers

    Dear diary, Today as a grown-ass man I argued with other grown-ass men on the internet about what wheel diameter is the betterer for an electrically-assisted mountain bike. I fear I have not persuaded anyone today that my wheel size is superior, but tomorrow we fight on. May my keyboard...

    I replaced my bent Praxis cranks (ISIS) with Raceface A-Effect (ISIS) and they fitted just fine. I'd say anything with ISIS will work for you.
