    Broken Garmin latch repair

    As shown in the attached pics, one of the latches of my Garmin Tail Light had been messed up so I had a replacement unit made up using a 3D printer and glued overtop of the old mounting fitting after trimming and removing the remaining latch to fit. I took the precaution of adding a lanyard so...

    Another Kiwi Rider

    Hi and welcome from another Kiwi (Auckland) Giant rider, mine is a Fathom and a hardtail, a full suspension model sure looks pretty attractive after some of my rides. Just upgraded my toys to include a Garmin Varia (smart tail light) after a bit of a fright and looking forward to some more...

    Hello from New Zealand

    Hi experts, I feel that my Fathom could use another higher gear and would appreciate some advice / feedback re the pros and cons of increasing the pedal sprocket size to reduce the speed of my pedalling. I understand that this is very doable but would love to get advice from the forum...

    Hi Forum newbie here with some questions about Ride Control

    I incorrectly indicated that I was looking for Garmin user feedback, should have been Giant feedback also should have mentioned the 530 was a loaner, the Bryton is supposedly similar to the 830 but somewhat lower priced :)

    Hi Forum newbie here with some questions about Ride Control

    The new RideControl with ANT+ is looking good and tested out fine with Garmin 530 although I could not get Cadence to work, I assume this is just settings but was just a test of the RideControl so not worried about this (yet). I am looking at buying a Bryton 750 and would appreciate feedback...

    Giant App Issues

    A reality check :-( I borrowed a Garmin 530 to get a further read on the numbers being put out by my RideControl/Strava (which seem to match but in reality no surprises considering that the RideControl is the source). Giant App / Strava as attached shows speed 16.4 and 51Ks max (v unlikely)...

    Also posted elsewhere but to close this loop - Just received and installed the new ANT+ upgrade, Giant UK were very responsive and shipped the unit quickly but it arrived with no documentation. I found a Youtube describing the installation (Upgrade Giant Trance E+ 2019 with ANT+ Ride Control...

    Giant RideControl EVO display w/ controller - Installation for Stance E+2 2021

    I have just received new RideControl One Controller which I had to order from Giant UK as the local (NZ) LBS could not supply. Giant UK service was great however there was no documentation included and while it appears to bea plug replacement for my old unit, other posts re firmware updates...

    Giant App Issues

    To be fair, my impression is the app has been performing better lately, data reported seems more accurate and matches that shown by Strava. I am not sure what has changed as to my knowledge there have been no updates but whatever it is, I'll take it :)

    GIANT Traumas. Are they BATTERY firmware related?

    Wow what a story and makes me a little afraid about my situation, privately purchased a preloved 2019 Fathom so absolutely no Giant warranty etc. I am going to read your story over again to try to make sure I don't have a similar situation, I don't think I have your stamina and certainly don't...

    Lets see your Giant ebike pics..

    Just added a sprung suspension seatpost, much better for a fairly "mature" set of bones, have also ordered a replacement RideControl unit - my 2019 model did not include ANT+ and limits display / computer options. Leaning towards an app for my phone which I guess makes the upgraded RideControl a...

    Giant App Issues

    Someone previously suggested posting comments to the Appstore, in my case the Google version and I did. There were many before me and many had had a response from Giant requesting that they write directly to app-support@giant…. so they could respond directly. I did this but, no response so far.

    Giant App Issues

    Thanks Malc101, unfortunately seems my bike just dodged the ANT+ upgrade so a bit more research required, perhaps a wired solution. Cheers Mike

    Giant App Issues

    Wow, seems there are lots of unhappy app users out there. I have just purchased a pre loved 2019 Giant Fathom E3+ and downloaded their app - primarily as there is no bike mounted display. I am using a Samsung Galaxy and the bike firmware updated itself when I recently connected so using current...
