Hi just as a side note my trance has tektro Orion's I fitted Shimano deore levers as they have the servo wave so brake more for less pull and I have to say there easily as good as my slx or xt brakes cheap as chips keep the Orion caliper fit deore levers ?
Hi tbh that's what I always did but liked the idea of average power max power and cadence shown but as usual the giant app is utter shit I did a ride on sun my mate used Strava it said we ride 15miles with slot of elevation but my app said I'd done 9miles I know Strava was right as it's a...
Hi all I'm off to Wales in June covid permitting my trance only has a 500wh battery so I've seen the range extender for the reign has anybody fitted it to a trance as I've looked everywhere and can't find a reasonable 625wh battery there £625 and for once or twice a year I need it that's to much...
Hi Rob I've been watching this with great interest as I built my xc bike up from a frame and made it what I wanted it was the best experience this is similar I'm running a e trance at the min but after next year I'd love to do this was it hard to organise paying import duty and tax and stuff I'm...
Like lots of you I run slx rear mech 10speed new deore shifter with standard deore chains 11-36 deore cassette and 34t chainring have any of u looked at box components they do 8,9,11 speed e bike group sets very cheap aswell ?
Tbh it's a Chinese special I was very dubious as I normally run Thompson posts but after 2yrs it's fine it's only for running up and down the cycle track to cafe and stuff no major off-road lol I still think it looks rediculous but it was the biggest frame XXL I could find and it was pennies in...
Yeah I get that I've got a Marin hardtail with 560mm seat tube I run a 450mm carbon post but for jumps and steep descents I sometimes hit my arse so I'd like to get it lower ? on my giant e bike ?
I've looked for the last 6months emails every company including KS and none would do a 250mm drop ? And I don't ride DH it probably what u would call trail/enduro I'm 6ft6 with very long legs so a 210mm is fine tbh I just meant I don't think a 210mm post would be enough to get the seat height on...
Hi where did u get a 250mm drop nobody makes one yet apart from 9,8 which is the special post fitted as part of the frame vecnum have just released a 212mm but that's the largest available ?
I kind of agree tbh I was looking around for something like a canyon neuron 130/140 trail bike 29er and lightish like 22kgs or less to make it feel more trail bike my giant is 24kgs and it feels it see I suppose standover has never been an issue for me so maybe I don't think like that even now...
Arithmetic was never my thing lol my giant has a 507mm seat tube when I ran 170mm post I had 90mm sticking out then 170 post plus saddle and 170mm cranks but the 210 is 40mm less which looks better I just think 430 is very short ?
Ha that's mine fab post works great ? it's Gona look a bit silly with all that sticking out though lol by the way most reliable post I've had never failed yet !
I run a 210 post but I recon I'd still be right on the limit I'm 37" inside leg so I think even on 210mm I'd be on Min insertion ? I know I'm tall but I think it's just a bit extreme ? By the way Rob really enjoying your vlogs alot more honest than some well known reviewers lol ?
Hi Hodge I get that and what works for one doesn't for others that's people's choice tbh it's just comes from riding locally seeing loads of people on 10k e enduro bike full body armour Fullface helmets the whole kit and literally bimbling down the trail I do mean really slow to the point of...
