    Giant Trance E+3 how to tell FW version?

    I tried connecting to the bike using my iPhone RideControl app, but it says that I need to upgrade the FW before it will connect. I don’t want to upgrade the FW, I just want to know the version. I have the RideControl Dash handlebar unit, is there any magic button combination that will let me...

    Trance E+ 3 randomly provides no assist while climbing hills

    I will try this. But it seems to me that the amount of torque I’m exerting should be just as important (maybe more important) than the cadence to the motor controller when determining my effort & assist percentage.

    Trance E+ 3 randomly provides no assist while climbing hills

    Understood. But even in say level 4 or five, sometimes there’s just nothing there even though I’m pedaling hard. But as soon as the hills done , the motor’s ready to “help out” again. I guess it’s just me. Ideally, Auto is what I want but as we know so it’s not very tunable…

    Trance E+ 3 randomly provides no assist while climbing hills

    My Edge is set up to show 10s power on hill climbs. I change change to cadence & monitor.

    Trance E+ 3 randomly provides no assist while climbing hills

    I have a Trance E+ 3 that I purchased new in July 24 (so not sure if it’s a ‘23 or ‘24). When I was bike shopping, I was told that Giant uses “six sensors” to determine when and how much assist to deliver, subject of course to the assist mode the bike is in. As discussed in other threads, I...

    New Owner: Giant Trance X E+ 3 Pro 29 - Curious about auto algorithm

    So what method would the LBS use to dial in the inclinometer for the rider? I don’t understand why Giant favors cadence so much over torque, and why that balance isn’t adjustable in the RideControl app. Having six sensors is great, but if they’re programmed by someone who’s never ridden a bike...

    sram gx axs upgrade kit on a Giant Trance E+

    No doubt. :). The reason I was asking about hardwiring was I had test-ridden a Trek Rail 8 that came with stock AXS, and noticed that it only worked if the drive controller was turned on. That bike uses Bosch vs the Giant’s Yamaha; it may be easier/cleaner to power the derailleur directly from...

    sram gx axs upgrade kit on a Giant Trance E+

    Just picked up a new Teance E+ 3 that I’m thinking of doing this mod to. LBS says they can do it as discussed in this thread & preserving many components. But, they say that it’s not possible to power the SRAM components directly from the Trance’s battery. Is this correct?
