Tom Anhalt and Bicycle Rolling Resistance have run a number of tests, and you should read the test reports and take note of the input parameters – e.g. If you are mainly riding on tarmac roads, then it is perfectly reasonable to mount slick tires. The price for your bike includes professional assembly by an Authorized Giant Retailer. Your purchase price also includes a basic fitting (seat height, shifter/brake lever positioning) to make sure you’re on the right size bike. If you are looking to really dial in your ride position, many retailers offer more thorough bike fitting systems (Giant Right Ride, etc.) which are not included in the price of bikes purchased through Giant WebLink.

I checked out How much energy is lost with a gravel tire compared with a road tire? And while there is a difference in running gravel tires or ‘road’ tires, I am not sure how important it is.

The Trance X Advanced Pro 29 2 also has a full carbon frame but comes with a Fox 36 Float Rhythm fork and a GRIP2 damper and a DPX2 performance out the back. This bike benefits from 12-speed shifting in the form of Shimano SLX.It gets the same wheels as the spendier bike and comes with Giant’s own finishing kit, including the dropper this time. Here at Bay Area Bicycles, we pride ourselves in providing you with only the best bicycle brands in today’s market.
The dropper post on this bike is a Fox Transfer Factory with a Shimano remote. A notch down from the 0 model, the Trance Advanced Pro 29 1 features the same frame and finishing kit from Giant with a 780mm wide handlebar and the Romero SL saddle. Differing from the 0 the 1 has a Fox 34 Performance Elite Live Valve fork and shock and a FIT4 damper.
They are always welcoming and treat me as a person, not just another number. They are not stingy with their time, knowledge or kindness. I take my trikes there because of the staff, their ability and availability. Our line of branded hats, t shirts, cycling kits, coffee mugs, and anything huffy mountain bike else we dream up. Surely those mechanical to hydraulic convertors are just a work around, why on earth would you spec from new? Seems like the worst of both worlds (still got cables to work with, but still need bleeding?) plus the extra weight and clutter of the convertor box.
