It got a lot quieter for me when I muted a few frequent flyers. They seemed to spend more time on here than riding, to be honest.

It annoys me a bit that dropper post cable routing doesn't seem to have been considered in designing the motor mounting.

You make a good point there. In normal use, the dropper is expected to hold up 50kg+, so it should have no trouble supporting a ~22kg bike. I guess the only risk is damaging the post surface.

Another story on BikeBiz: Shimano components for 10,000 bikes stolen from Czech bicycle producer

I don't think it's a knock-off, just one of many manufacturers using Shimano gear to build up a bike. Rockmachine appears to be one of the brands that Bike Fun produce.

I suspect you have bought a stolen bike. A legit seller would have included the head unit and charger.

Could be a Rockmachine. Am I correct in that you bought it without a head unit on the bars?

Post the frame number and we can look it up in the database. It should be stamped into the frame under the motor or maybe near the rear hub.

Maybe contact Suntour US. They were pretty responsive when I had some fork questions.

Jason Marsh is from NZ.

I'd think any 104BCD narrow-wide ring would work.

I have the same bike. I'm pretty sure you can pull out the 2019 RideControl and put in a 2020+ one which has Ant+. Then you can buy one of these bad boys: https://www.pushbikes.co.nz/products/giant-ridecontrol-ant-lev-computer Also there is a thread over here about upgrading a 2019 Trance to...

I don't use any because they have a weight limit for some reason.

Microshift Advent X gets good reports from the interwebs. And we can get it from Aus. https://www.mtbdirect.com.au/search?keywords=microshift

T7 and Evo are selling 9-speed SRAM X5 for pretty cheap.

My gut feel, based on pics from the Giant website, is you will be going around the back and under the motor. To be sure, you will have to probably remove the covers and the motor to see what options you have for that frame.

Not with that asymmetric frame.

... than a Tesla.

Deores would be more than enough. I also went from Tektros and the difference it night and day. You can spend more on Shimano or SRAM or Magura or Hopes or whatever, but it will be diminishing returns, IMO.

Deore M6100 4-pot brakes. Cheap as chips and paired with 203mm rotors, they are hella powerful. I’m 139kg and they stop me and my eeb easily.
