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...
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...
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
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 :)
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:

Lots of great improvements! can't wait to test one out

Upgrades:
•Sram 1x11 gx drive terrain
•Light Bicycle EMTB carbon rims with hope Pro 4 hubs running tubeless
•Renthal cockpit
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...
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
