A bit of research and closer inspection, and I think a phone call tomorrow should confirm 2 types of hangers. I did see the same X01 mech on a T275 with 11-46 cassette and he said that was the max it could handle. The hanger on the T275 was sitting vertical (from the axle), where the...

Thanks JTmoto, looks like my new build gets a X01 mech. I don't think I could live without my 47t now.

Has anyone put a Sram X01 (11 speed) rear mech (and shifter for ADD ones) onto a 2017/8 Trance? I'm trying but it looks like I need a different hanger. A Saturday night idea that hasn't work ( for me anyway in Part), and a high tech google hasn't saved my bacon either. Back story; 2017 Trance...

I've booked into Thredbo alpine apartments for 3 nights with 4 mates with 3 days lift passes. $250 each with the 3 for 2 deal. Tell you after the 12th how the room is, but it's a 2 room, 4 single bed apartment that is "bike" friendly (I'm told). Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Look at the 2017 Trance (140 rear 150 front travel) and add 20mm of travel to it. The 2017 Trance is a better pedaller and turner than previous incarnations and I don't see why Giant wouldn't make similar improvements to a Reign, which it needs. It's still a trail slug and it doesn't shine as a...

Bike24.com check out any DT Swiss rims. My TRX1 wheels got m512 rims. To swap rims, zip tie the cross over of the spokes so they stand up when you take the nipples off (get some new nipples) and it's a simple swap. I trued the wheel in the frame/fork using tyre levers as guides. Not perfect but...

What do you do when you have a world famous paragliding location? Put shuttles and bike tracks in. Welcome to Mt Borah Manilla (30min from Tamworth), 500m vert to play with, prizes, cash, cabins, camping, bar, pool, downhill trails, enduro trails, XC trails, shuttles, what else do you need...

2017 Trance 2 How far we have come, your garden variety Trance 2 is pretty well kitted out of the box. First few rides, bars and stem changed from 730mm & 70mm (stupid combination anyway) to 780 & 50mm, tyre change, a must. Rear end the stand out performer on the bike, pedals up hill like a...

Item: 650B/27.5" wheelset, 20x110mm front, 12x150mm rear, 6 bolt discs Location: Port Macquarie Item condition description: not fussy about brand of style (something that can handle downhill trails obviously), want to try 27.5 in my frame (currently running 26 and told they fit). Reason for...

Looks like the mountain evolution wheel needs some greasing, it's all getting slow. Haven't seen anything new for a few years now.

Yep, event centre based at 5 ways. You can park out in the forest or at the golf club if you prefer and ride to the 5 ways, its only a 5 minute ride up the trail.

No, green pathfinder and black Trance. Back out there this morning to finish marking, so the sharks can get some secret training.

That's not the trails (its the road near the 5 ways), checked the trails this afternoon and most have drained or draining nicely. By tomorrow afternoon they'll be getting tacky.
