Trance E+3 no pump?

[Abcdesign]

New Trance just taken deliver in store, should you not get a shock pump included?, for £3,700 so you can set up the bike, I could understand no pedals, (my wife has a Gaint Liv that came with pedals so she could set it up in store! more money you spend less you get! !

Bikes don’t generally come with pumps. You could ask the supplying dealer to throw one in for free but that’s nothing to do with Giant.
Hope you like the bike though and welcome to the forum.

Never heard of a bike coming with an air pump for the suspension but my bike shop set the sag for me when I bought the bike. That was part of the purchase process. They "fit" the bike for you. I am sure since you just bought the bike if you ask them to they will set it for you

Sellers of expensive bikes like that tend to assume that riders already have their own pedals, shorts, riding shoes, gloves, helmet, and shock pump!
I would not trust a bike shop to set up my bike for me. My track record is poor in that respect.

Agreed about the assumption the rider would have those parts. As far as trusting the shop, thats unfortunate you dont trust your shop but for me they did it with me there, thats how they got the proper weight to set the sag so its pretty easy to confirm it was done correctly.

Thank you put my mind at rest

I had a free pump with my 2008 Trance 3. Another with my 2012 Anthem X. But nothing with my 2019 E bike. They’ll stop putting tyres on soon as they’re down to personal taste

I wish they would assign a value to their choice of tyre then allow me to choose mine.

Actually, that's a great idea . Never going to happen though...

The bike shops would be flooded with plasticy hard tyres that roll well in the carpark, but that they couldn't sell!

When I bought my 2012 trek fuel ex8, new, it came with a bontrager shock pump. Many bikes used to back then. It was my first air fork and first full sus, so obviously I just looked at the pump mystified I still have it - the bike and the pump

So true! I've always spent an hour or two setting up my bike after collecting it. Even a new ktm 990 smt - in the carpark! It was low on oil, the chain was too tight, and the settings on each fork leg were set up differently . I've never found suspension to be in the ball park - despite them setting sag etc. Brakes, gears, cockpit - anything that can be adjusted is usually out. With my emtb, surprisingly, tyre pressures were very close - they usually go too hard (suspension too). Needless to say I've never taken advantage of the "first free service" for motorbike, car or bicycle.

No pump = more margin.
