    Giant Trance E+ Sudden Off!!

    I've been having the same issue but at irregular intervals. On a long technical ride I might have no issues but then commuting to work, it cuts out 3-4 times. I took the battery out and noticed the pins where dusty so I did the ol' nintendo trick and blew my lungs out. popped the battery back in...

    Giant Trance E+ Sudden Off!!

    That might be a different problem. The blinking red light is likely the sensor/dongle not reading. I get the same when the magnet on the spoke isn't inline with the sensor.

    Trance e+2 suspension

    A tiny bit of movement in the suspension is normal. This is just the sag from the weight of the bike.If it's chattery, i.e something is loose, then you have problems.

    I didn't expect much from Giant in 2020 after the 2019 overhaul but glad to see they addressed the big issue...HUBS!!!! New hubs/wheels will return confidence to the franchise. The other main spec changes I can see on the Pro 1: Shimano componentry: seems to be the equivalent spec as 2019's...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    I just had my first ride with a Maxxis Assegai 2.5 with DH casing on the rear wheel. It replaced my Maxxis DHR II 2.6 exo which was collecting a number of leaks and holes. FYI I'm running a DHF in the front. Very impressive traction!! It holds a line like nothing else and really boosts your...

    2020 EMTBs Overpriced?

    An MTB industry contact explained EMTB bike prices to me in simple terms (I'm a simple people). Manufacturers manage their supply-chain in a way that they can balance the risk of neither over or under-producing the number of bikes that will be bought by the end-user. Under supply, you miss out...

    Giant Picture Thread, lets see em.

    They roll very well and the bike feels like an arrow. Is it a mind-blowing experience? no, but it's a significant improvement over the stock. With proper tyre inflation and suspension setup, can't imagine a bike being too rigid :p:p
