Hi there stu... Just showed this thread and your video to a friend of mine who has had exactly the same issue with his 2020 reign. His is currently in the shop (5 weeks now) waiting for parts from giant UK to remedy the issue.
From what he said there's an issue with some bikes where the battery...
Marshmallow tyres?... I was merely going to fit a minion dhf 2.5wt tyre up front and a dhr 2.4wt out back that's all... And just to give them a bit of stability was considering some wider rims than the wheels currently have(mavic 624) hardly going to ruin it methinks. How does having shorter...
Ahh?.... I stand corrected then... Id read that they having a similar damper that they should react similarly (dependant on air pressure) so was slightly confused that even though the yari having a larger internal volume (purely guessing due to stantion diameter) I ended up with nigh on...
Well... I had a spare couple of hours so I had a go at it?
Changed the 29er recon 140s to yari 170s and that made a massive difference in front end stiffness and contrary to what Gary has said(no idea why as what he said should be correct) the forks have exactly the same pressure and held up...
What made you go for the 29er over the plus version bud?
The brake dive is normal for the cheaper rockshox.. I'm quite a lot heavier than any of you lightweights ?.
I can also feel a bit of flex when I corner hard (even with the spoke tension increased) compared to my whyte(obviously?♂️)

Basically as above....
I have a whyte g160 that I can take the wheels and 170mm yaris from to convert my 29er version into the plus size tyre version(from the research I've done the mainframe is the same anyway... Just the rear end is longer to accommodate the larger rear wheel).
The reason...
All depends on the internal space of the downtube.. I dont know if they are bigger on the 2020 version bikes as they use both bosch and shimano this year. I'm quite tempted to take mine out at some point and have a look at how the cells are packaged and to see if using the same arrangement that...

I did think that once I'd seen the pic of how yours fitted your bike... I just happen to have the sx version sat in the shed and it wasn't until I saw your pic that I thought about trying it... I've since tries fitting but because it's slightly too short to reach the chainstay behind the bb and...
