I've been riding on these for just under a year:
carbon mountain bike wheelset-mountain wheel,mtb wheel,mountain bike carbon wheel,carbon mtb wheels,carbon mtb wheelset Light-Bicycle
They've survived hucks to flat, urban freeride and gnarly grade 5's....still in perfect condition! Oh and I'm...
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!
I just ordered the MT7 but originally looked at the MT5's but the levers would immediately be replaced to single-fingers and the pads they came with weren't near as good as the MT7 ones.
Adding up all cost of the bits I'd need to have a comfortable set of MT5's, the MT7s weren't that much more...
Interesting :unsure::unsure: This is clearly a product failure under normal riding conditions and the bike is very well maintained. Hope Giant do the right thing here...
Will keep everyone posted!
Fingers crossed
Cheap steel for the win!!
You could also consider swapping to an 8 speed drive terrain. I've already ordered mine:
Box Four 8S Wide Groupset
Keep in mind that you will need also need to swap to Shimao driver body if you have an Sram XD
Buy the 2020!
Why:
New hub design (2019 were problematic)
Plugin design, less prone to falling off
Speed sensor now tidying integrated
Resale value
Better tyres on the 2020 E+
The 2019 was a great bike but had a few issues which the 2020 doesn't
Happy riding!
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...
