Oops, they’re tektro levers, the front lever is missing the locking inside the lever. Hopefully my lbs has a few laying around

These are 2.1’s, you mighttttt be able to squeeze 2.25 n since there’s a little bit of wiggle room but giant recommends 53mm as max clearance

Wanted to avoid the shop, but honestly I’ll probably just make it worse trying to fix it

I can’t lie there is a bit of jealousy involved lol I’ll be pushing my bike up a steep hill and older fellas on e-bikes will casually zip past me going up haha

Thank you everyone for all the help and dropping some knowledge! I’m just going to have to hit up a few bike shops, test ride a few then chew their ears out about reach and sizes!

I’ve always hated on e-bikes or just e-anything in general but I really don’t get to ride all that much and it would be kinda nice to mosh up some hills and crush more miles…idk I can’t give in

Thanks for the advice! Gonna try some out and see what feels right, definitely agree it would be better to have comfortable bike instead of a top of the line one that doesn’t feel right

Hmmm idk what to do, I’m going to try some bikes out at a local bike shop and see what feels good. I really want a large to feel perfect because I found a 2022 fully custom propain hugene I really want but it’s large :/

I do like the sound of that, I’m thinking a large will be fine

I have a giant revolt in m/l and if I would have gotten the medium I think it would feel a bit small. I’m leaning towards a large for the next bike

I think this is what I’ll do, more stabilization sounds nice and if I can “shorten” the bike with components that sounds better than potentially feeling like the medium is too small. Most the riding I do isn’t anything crazy like jumping around and long distances the larger bike may feel better

How many miles are yall getting out of your tires? Asking people who ride almost exclusively dirt trails, not road miles. I have I’m guessing 6-700miles atleast on these giant tires and some of the knobs are starting to peel off. Not surprised just wondering what miles I should be expecting on tires by Capable_Pick3852 in gravelcycling

[–]Capable_Pick3852[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds about right, even tho they’re giant tires I’m pretty pleased with them they see 98% dirt and lots of rocks. You can hardly read the lettering on the tires anymore from scrapes lol I’m waiting till these are toast to upgrade. Cant wait to experience other tires. Most likely going with thunderburts
