    Trance E Freehub issues

    Hiya! Great bikes aye! hope you're enjoying it :) Yes exact same hubs I believe but the issue seems to be patchy and most giants seem to be absolutely fine. I heard it was a bad batch of improper greasing that causes the issues. The grease was too thick and the pawls weren't fully extending...

    Helmet - yes or no or it depends?

    Confession time: I voted for the 75-99% because there are a few small instances where I ride without a helmet like after a clean I'll do small up-n-down the culdesac to get rid of water before taking the bike inside. During my EMTB trip over summer, I found I would use my bike around...

    Sram NX Eagle.

    Very True!! I made the mistake of thinking the NX cassette would fit an XD driver. If you already have a Shimano freehub, the NX cassette should slip straight on

    travelling on planes with EMTB

    will look into option 7, but not holding my breath another possibility: 8) See if anyone on the forum lives in Taz and owns a Giant.....anyone?.....will pay cash :)

    travelling on planes with EMTB

    I'm planning a trip Tasmania and this topic has been lingering in my mind. Seems there's no clear solution that doesn't risk lives or make me a c#nt! Was thinking: 1) Bring my bike over without the battery. buy the exact model upon arrival use the battery on my bike. refund the seeming unused...

    Article Here is the new 2020 Bosch motor

    Lots of great improvements! can't wait to test one out But seeing the large base of POMs on this forum, I'll have a go at recreational whinging >Anyone else not a fan of big displays or any display for that matter? > longer battery length- wouldn't that higher the center gravity? thought the...

    Got a complete rear wheel. But you can just get the hub however the cost the hub and labor isn't much less than a new wheel.

    Trance E Freehub issues

    For those looking for solid replacement I recommend Hope Pro 4. Has given me back the confidence I lost from original hub. I love the fast engagement too, responds so much quicker. Sounds sick too!

    Just took my new custom carbon wheels for their maiden voyage and felt a little aroused by how good they look on my Giant! Upgrades: •Sram 1x11 gx drive terrain •Light Bicycle EMTB carbon rims with hope Pro 4 hubs running tubeless •Renthal cockpit

    Anyone else get called a cheat??

    "you're right, I'm a cheat. Who should I hand my medals and prize money to?"

    E+1 or SX ?

    I actually wanted the SX but they didn't have make/sell them in XL :( Still extremely happy with the E1 and will likely get the travel extended in the front and may look at a coil shock down the road......but if you were to spend the money on upgrades that you save from opting for E! over theSX...

    Future EMTB: More power & range or lightweight (15-20kg)?

    Love this! I wouldn't show this to your non-biking friends tho #StraightJacket looks like a dream build! How is the cassette treating you? All my GX cassette's were shredded by my bike and would skip under pressure. Went with a NX which has much taller teeth, no issues but a heavy block o' steel
