    2020 Giant Fathom E+ 3 Will Not Turn Off

    It’s generally a water ingress into the Ride Control module issue. With any luck now you’ve dried it out that’ll be the end of it. Corrosion can set in, in which case you’ll need a new controller which should be covered under warranty. Have you ridden it in the rain or washed it with a hose? Try...

    Latest firmware causing issues Trance E+ 2 2020

    That’s as far as you’ll get on a 19 via the app... that’s the most recent FW. 20’s will update to the same but with a 1 on the end.

    So what FW are you showing how?

    Latest firmware causing issues Trance E+ 2 2020

    iOS or Android? All I can suggest is trying another device... we’ve two Trance here and they seem picky about connecting to either platform at random. When one works the other doesn’t and so on. It’s all a bit pooh.

    No Rob Live ????

    I could probably throw together 20 minutes of variety if you’re at a loose end.

    Latest firmware causing issues Trance E+ 2 2020

    They could but it would be largely pointless... think of all the variables that affect battery usage: rider weight, terrain, temperature, wind speed, battery health. They’re wrong, at least with regards to the app since the update that allowed user FW updates. I’ve had erroneous information...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL Fox 34 forks

    That Fox combo is what I had in mind for mine too. What’s the clearance like between the DPX2 and range extender (if you use one...)?

    Ride Control Update

    The software you can load via the app has a different number to the one that can be applied by dealers, which is odd. 2020 Trance updated via the app to: 20191231001 (no update for my ‘19 which is still on 20191231000). I heard via the grapevine that dealer applied updates started with 2020...

    Tubeless puncture question..

    Yeah, I know... it does seem expensive for what it is. Hopefully it’s the sort of thing you end up using infrequently though, and when you do need to use it, thoughts of what it cost are not in the forefront of your mind. They’ve saved me having to trudge miserably through the forest with a 25kg...

    Anyone else get called a cheat??

    Powered up a steep bit of fire track a few days ago to find a bunch of chubby lads on manual bikes gathered at the top. “Oi, look at them freewheeling up the hill”, one of them shouted... I assumed he was the brains of the outfit as we were clearly pedalling. Seemed like a waste of effort to...

    Chain advice for EMTB's

    Get yourself a chain wear checker and change the chain at .5. Running it beyond that and you risk having to change the cassette and possibly the chainring too. As for making gear changes smoother, just back off slightly before the change to reduce tension in the chain and get used to thinking ahead.

    Is there a point, where a healthy diet isn't?

    Eating fewer calories than you burn is the answer.

    Is there a point, where a healthy diet isn't?

    Eating fat, can of course, make you fat. When you eat fat your body has only two options for dealing with it, burn in for energy if neither carbs nor excess protein is available, or store it as body fat. Overeating fat as your main calorie source generally translates to fat gain. Diets are...

    Comfort Saddles - what do you use?

    I guess I’m fairly fortunate that my arse has yet to demand anything too specific to sit on, and I actually find the stock saddle on my Trance pretty comfy. Otherwise I’ve always liked the Fabric Scoop Radius.
