    Help needed, first emtb stuck between 2 bikes

    Batteries arrive from the manufacturer in a sleep mode and when activated for the first time have around 2 bars or 20-40% charge. Not buying a battery from a shop because it wasn't full for a test ride is the most ridiculous reason ever!! Perhaps the original poster walked into the shop and...

    Play in cassette

    Take the wheel off and see if the cassette is tight on the freehub. If you are unsure go to your local bike shop.

    2019 Giant vs 2020 models

    Just as a thought, the 2019 trance 0 does not suffer from a hub problem the same as the cheaper models as it has a Dt swiss hybrid hub. And with regards to the 20 model having better tyres, a decent shop will swap out tyres to suit your needs. However as a 2019 trance 0 owner i would buy the a...

    Giant Trance E+ 2 Pro 2019 upgrade from RideControl ONE to Ridecontrol EVO.....Worth it?

    The upgraded controller is far better sealed, i wouldnt "upgrade." The minimalist remote is well suited to the kind of bike its on

    New Zealand Mtb

    I know what you mean, i was sitting at the table at the top once and a local turned up. It started to rain and he said shall we just ride it together as its a bit safer if you fall off a cliff. Fair to say a lot of the locals are pretty rapid!! He just waited for me at a few spots!!

    New Zealand Mtb

    Salmon run is one of my favourite trails worldwide, brilliant trail, a must do if you are at skyline. Did you ride the vagina tree, where the trail goes through the split tree trunk?

    Install Nukeproof carbon bars

    Use lock on collars from two grips to ensure a straight cut. A hacksaw with a fine blade ( 32teeth per inch) and go slowly. Bare in mind carbon dust is not particularly healthy, you can spray it with water to try and minimise the dust.

    Giant app info to strava ?

    GPX files can easily be uploaded to strava by clicking the + symbol in the top right of the homescreen and then selecting upload activity. My question would be why you want to use the Giant app when your GPS watch surely can be set up so it exports automatically to strava...

    New Zealand Mtb

    Craigieburn was the best place i rode on the South Island. Beautiful views and great trails. Cheeseman DH and the luge were particular highlights. I would imagine it would be a great place on an e-bike, worth noting not so many flow trails and more natural trails. If or when i go back to NZ...

    I have 12 speed xtr on my e bike and it works a treat, never had problem set up same way you set a 11 speed shimano and it works fine and dandy. Changing my normal bike to AXS when it arrives, when i had a shot of it at eurobike i thought the overall feel of it slightly nicer and crisper than...

    Chain and Cassette worn out after 193 miles

    should fit, you can change the two smallest sprockets. Standard shimano freehub, all you need is a chainwhip and a shimano lockring tool. Standard that the smaller sprockets wear out faster. Same strain going through them but less teeth to bear the brunt.

    Chain and Cassette worn out after 193 miles

    If its only skipping in one gear, generally the smallest or second smallest sprocket at the back just change that one. Its normally those ones that go and the rest of the cassette is perfectly fins still to ride, much cheaper than buying a whole new cassette.
