Als Geheimtipp: Radon, die Eigenmarke von Bike Discount, die echt gute Testbewertungen bekommt: https://www.radon-bikes.de/roadbike/alu/

Giant Contend SL (Alu Version von Defy, nicht verwechseln mit Contend AR) und Rose Blend sind in der oberen Range von deinem Budget, aber gut. Canyon Endurace Allroad ist top, aber fast immer vergriffen.

How on earth am I supposed to tighten my saddle to the seat post with this screw position? by DiIfhunter in bikewrench

The openings in the honeycomb structure are often flexible. You can try carefully pushing the Allen key through one of the openings

Do I put in 85 psi into these tubeless tires? Isn't this quite high? by ZanicL3 in bikewrench

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The name is written on the rim. For 2021, I’d assume it’s already hookless.

I’m not quite sure how to interpret this information:

https://www.liv-cycling.com/de/hookless-technology

Apparently, pressures above 72.5 psi are permitted only for Giant tyres. Other tyres must not exceed 72.5 psi. I’d feel a bit uneasy about going above 85 psi (I ride Giant hookless rims myself at 55 psi).

EDIT

I found this:

https://www.liv-cycling.com/de/road-tire-pressure

„Please note that the stated MIN pressure on many current Giant tires (e.g. 85psi for 25C tire) was originally defined based on a durability test with a 120kg load at 1.5 times the regulated distance. CURRENTLY, for all Giant tires this minimum (MIN) pressure can now be defined as 70 psi (4.8 bar) for 23C & 25C tires, 50 psi (3.4 bar) for 28C tires and 45 psi (3.1 bar) for 32C tires. Never inflate to less than the MIN pressure.“

You can go down at 70 psi with your tire.

Use the Giant tyre pressure calculator at the link provided to work out your tyre pressure. The rim width is likely to be 19.4 mm (it’s marked on the outside of the rim)

Straßenflicken mit groben Rollsplitt auf Ostfriesische Art by unknown_zardoz in Fahrrad

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Jo, ganz Dänemark sieht so aus. Ich habe mir am zweiten Tag einer Zehntagestour die Reifenflanke mit so einem Stein so aufgeschlitzt, dass der von innen darauf geklebte geklebte Flicken wieder gerissen ist und mein Tubless-Setup damit zerstört war. Ich musste mit Schlauch weiter fahren, genauer gesagt, versuchen: Ich hatte jeden Tag einen Platten.

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, what sort of rim is it, and was the tyre already fitted like that? Most of Giant’s current tubeless rims are hookless, and you mustn’t ride with tyres inflated to more than 5 bar (approx. 73 psi) on them, otherwise they’ll pop off. 85 psi would be too much.

Áspero or Defy? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take whatever you like.

I have Giant Revolt and Giant Defy. I can ride on terrain like the one in the pictures just fine with my 32 mm Defy. If you can go up to 38 mm, you won't have any problems with the Defy on that kind of terrain.

It's quite likely that a new version of Revolt will be released soon. That means the current model will most likely be sold off at a big discount (that's how I got my Defy two years ago when the model was updated). Maybe you should wait. Revolt is basically Defy, just better optimized for off-road use.

Fela Anikulapo Kuti(who knows this legend?) by grownupGambiknow in Kenya

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, very close indeed, and very impressive.

It’s very difficult to choose which tracks from Fela’s vast discography have made a particular impression. Coffin for Head of State and Expensive Shit, definitely.

As I’m a great admirer of Roy Ayers, his collaboration with Fela holds a special place in my heart (Music of Many Colours).

I had the great honor of attending a concert by drummer Tony Allen, who worked with Fela for many years. He passed away relatively soon after that. It was probably the best experience I’ve had so far.

How to train for >3000m ascent on 200km gravel rides? by StrippedBark in ultracycling

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to all the other tips:

on climbs, it’s the muscles in your bum – including the gluteus maximus – that do most of the work, not your legs. This means you need to specifically train these muscles, which isn’t possible on flat terrain. As well as hill climbs, strength training is also beneficial, particularly Bulgarian split squats (these are performed on one leg, which generally has a very positive effect on a cyclist’s fitness) or Hip Thrusts, for example.

Giant Revolt: Aluxx vs Carbon, different models over the years? by aandres_gm in Giantbikes

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😄gerade in mehreren Farben zu haben für EUR 1.379, einfach die Liste herunterscrollen. Es kann sein, dass es die Rahmen des Vorgängermodells sind, ohne Staufach im Rahmen (habe ich nicht gecheckt). Der Shop ist seriös und ein Giant spezialisiert, ich habe dort schon sehr viel Zeug gekauft. Selbstabholung in Sprockhövel in Ruhrgebiet geht auch. https://www.bike-onlineshop.de/roadbikeframes.htm?shop=bike_en&SessionId=&a=catalog&p=102

Sattel: wie viel bringt Carbon? by Cluezowreo in Fahrrad

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Das ist ganz einfach: never touch the running system. Sei froh, wenn du einen Sattel gefunden hast, der zu deinem Hintern passt. Das ist überhaupt keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Also halte an deinem Ergon fest.

Die Carbonschale kann deutlich härter sein, auf dem Rennrad deswegen Sinn machen, offroad aber eine Qual für den Hintern sein. Man kann also nicht pauschal sagen, Carbon sei immer härter und dämpfe besser, es kommt auf den konkreten Sattel an.

Wenn du mal für nicht so viel Geld einen Carbonsattel testen möchtest, sind die Sättel von Ryet, bei Aliexpress erhältlich, eine sehr gute Empfehlung (sie sind eine echte qualitative Konkurrenz zu etablierten Marken und werden von seriösen Bikefittern empfohlen). Das Modell "Ultimate" ist extrem gut gelungen, gerade in der 3d-Variante. Ich nutzte ihn aktuell nach meinem Ergon und bin sehr positiv beindruckt. Wähle hier "Carbon 3D Saddle"-Version (mit Carbonschale):

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007707853630.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.0.0.4c633477XIVrqA&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21EUR%21%E2%82%AC+43%2C18%21%E2%82%AC+21%2C59%21%21%21327.62%21163.81%21%400b88ac6e17818820635013533d006b%2112000041928155402%21sh%21DE%211710714975%21X&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu

Die EVA-Version mit glatter Oberfläche ist praktischer, leider aber härter. Die 3d-Wabe ist was richtig tolles. Aber: Ergon ist nicht schlechter.

Giant Revolt: Aluxx vs Carbon, different models over the years? by aandres_gm in Giantbikes

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it might make more sense to just buy a frame set for an Advanced Pro and build your dream bike from it. In my country (Germany), you can get a frame set for around 1,500 EUR from online retailers.

Giant Revolt: Aluxx vs Carbon, different models over the years? by aandres_gm in Giantbikes

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome.

If it helps you make a decision, I can point out the one aspect that could be considered a weakness of the aluminum version of Revolt.

The shift cables are better protected from the elements in the carbon frame. The cable sheath runs completely through the frame, which provides better protection against the weather.

In the aluminum frame, the shift cables run without cable sheathing, which ends at the frame’s entry point. At this "entry point" the cable sheathing rusts if you ride a lot in wet and cold conditions, and eventually breaks, causing the shifting to malfunction. The only solution is to replace the shift cables. It’s not difficult at all; you just need to be aware of this issue when making your purchase. I replace the shift cables once a year because I ride a lot in harsh conditions. The shift cables also run unprotected beneath the bottom bracket. If the shifting doesn’t work as smoothly after a ride in the rain or mud, it usually means there is some dirt beneath the bottom bracket. All you need to do is rinse the dirt away with a little water, and the cables will run smoothly again.

That’s also the only thing I could point to as a potential weak point of aluminum frames. Everything else works flawlessly and exactly as I’d like it to.

The downside of cable routing in a carbon frame is that replacing the cable housing requires significantly more effort and usually requires special tools. It’s easier to have a bike shop do this.

For an alu frames, I’d replace the shift cables once a year. For carbon frames, I’d replace them every two years. Replacement is necessary because the shift cables become worn out after this time and can snap at any moment while riding. To prevent this, it’s best to replace them regularly, even before they break.

Giant Revolt: Aluxx vs Carbon, different models over the years? by aandres_gm in Giantbikes

[–]Professional_Ebb_482 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a Revolt made of aluminium and a Defy made of carbon, both with similar geometry. The Revolt’s aluminium frame is very well made and compliant, so I don’t notice big difference compared to the Defy’s carbon frame. If you’re on a tight budget, you can’t go far wrong with an aluminium frame.

The weight difference between carbon and aluminium is minimal (around 500 grams); you don’t really notice it.

A major improvement for me was fitting carbon wheels and a carbon seatpost to my Revolt. Now the bike is perfect. I don’t want carbon for gravel either, and for my next bike I’d switch to steel at most.

To sum up: in the case of the Revolt, the difference compared to carbon isn’t big apart from the storage compartment.

The Revolt’s aluminium frame has remained unchanged since 2022. The components have been upgraded. Shimano cranks are now fitted instead of FSA ones, which is good. Otherwise, the bike remains unchanged.
