Couldn't agree more with that! Then you'd have the best looking Trance out there!Sure would look great with a black LEV integra and a black 2015 Monarch Plus though!

Its a stock sram cassette pg1020 of a Norco. I bought it of a mate so I could run a black cassette purely for the look with the black kmc chain :behindsofa:What's that black cassette? With xt derailleur?
Currently running 2.35 front and rear on my Trance with no issuesHi mates.
I own the same Redline316's Giant Trance 2 2015.
I often ride FR/DH, not everytime...
I have recently made my first upgrade with Giant contact SL seatpost which I think is a REALLY useful uprade.
Now I would like to ask you guys, some suggestions about upgrading Forks and Tyres.
First: which is the thickest Tyre I can go to? 2.30? Does the 2.35 fits in the rear triangle?
Second: which is the longest fork's travel allowed without climbing problems?
Is a 180mm fork too much for the Trance?
Should I go for a 160 mm only?
All suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance and my apologies for a not-perfect English.
Cheers from Italy.
And hubs. The rear hub engagement on the Trance 2 is pretty crappy...Yep, Im running a 2.4 ardent with no issues on the back. Probably stock the Trance 2 best upgrade for performance and weight may be wheels?
34t fouriers.A Monarch in the rear will transform it. How big is your chainring? Looks huge to me!

Finally got round to getting a dropper its a 2016 giant connect sl 100mm drop not much more i want to do to it now maybe just a new rear shock but for now happy the way it is.
There's a heap of tyre info in this thread. http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?221556-All-Mountain-Tyres/page66Looks great mate!
I recently made almost the same dropper upgrade.
(mine is contact switch SL)
It is a must-have on an enduro bike.
Can I ask you the way you choose the tyre type?
Is there any "universal" tyre good, both for mud and wet rocks or I have to mount a specific kind in the front and another one in the back?
Can you help me choosing the right Maxxis tyre, as per your experience?
I would like to learn something more before going @the shop..
Grazie in advance!
PS: great support/feedback received here.
Much appreciated.
