I'm currently still sitting on 1 bikepacking trip hopefully will do more more this year but it's refreshing to see people having a rough time like I did on my first shakedown trip. Not sure how these people with the amazing camera work and smooth riding manage to do it, I feel like I take half the amount of stuff and still have it all strapped haphazardly onto my bike (also a CX frame)

yep, it gets easier the more you go! I am looking forward to my next trip as I know what to expect now. some people make it look so smooth but behind the camera it will be as tough from them as it is for us.

hi tommy will propel be a good choice for endurance rides as well ? looking for a all rouder bike
@Tommy_cycles
@Tommy_cycles 20 күн бұрын
Hey mate, In my opinion it would be a good choice. It can fit 28mm tyres easily which can also be used with lower tyre pressures for even more comfort. I rode 4.5hrs 2 days in a row and felt fine. Might be worth getting a saddle that suits you really well as I don’t get on with mine amazingly but it does the job. This doesn’t need to be really expensive as cheaper ones can be just as good if not better suited for you! Hope this helps and let me know how you get on. Any bike within reason can be made more comfy for endurance so what ever bike you go for will be a good choice. 👍

Defo cheaper but looks very different. Not much time has gone into aero testing and is probably much heavier and not as stiff. Big contrast between this bike and that one

Hi, is the Giant power meter still good? Zero issues?
@Tommy_cycles
@Tommy_cycles 3 ай бұрын
Yes, not had any major issues so far. Super easy wireless charging (insanely fast charging) the only thing I am a bit disappointed about is that if your chain drops on the inside of the chain set, it will scuff the power meter and has actually damaged the grooves that the charger ports sit in to secure it in place. Still charges fine but something that I might need to do maintenance on later. DM me on insta and I’ll send you a photo. Overall it’s very good 👍

Another tip: Ride a gravel bike and plan routes that include singletrack between stretches of asphalt. Stop for cake and coffee. Do discovery rides to try new roads and refine your existing routes, like have different versions of a route where you try new roads/paths/trails.

I have SLR 1 wheels on my TCR and find the bearings wear out way to easy. Back wheel in particular needs bearings done twice a year. The TCR is my second bike and gets minimal riding. Have cadex on my propel,no issues with them.
@Tommy_cycles
@Tommy_cycles 4 ай бұрын
not too sure what could be causing that. could be something to do with the type of cleaning products used, the weather the wheels are used in and how you clean the bike.I tend to take the free hub off to get to the bearings and clean out the grit and dirty grease that gets worse over time. finally I apply fresh grease to prevent water getting into the bearings easily. this helps keep the bearings last longer as there is less dirt potentially entering the seal of the bearings themselves. Hope this helps.

its preference, if you are fit, a 30t is more than enough and will never be an issue in races (uk) a 32 would be a good choice if you are a beginner or riding very long and steep climbs.

totally understand, I have kept to the codex tyres although the rear tyre has worn out really fast compared to the front. I ride at 65-70psi which works for me. it would take an awful lot of unplanned force to shift the tyre over the rim. it is quite a bit deeper than you may think.

Great bike. I was in and out of the Giant store recently and was very close to buying this exact model. However, I went with a second hand 2022 Propel SL0 instead for a little bit cheaper than a new Pro 0. Main reason being I have an old TCR SL0 and the feeling of the SL frame has broken me. Any other bike I ride feels like it's made of wood compared to the SL frame. As you said you love your bike and I absolutely adore my SL 😅, and I think that's the most important thing. Would highly recommend the SL though to anyone else 🤪

Had same bike and model, bought in end of 2023. The only thing Im not happy with, is how thin and delicate the paint is. Was able to scratch the bottom bracket just by removing the chain and touching the frame, second time when removing protective tape, it came off with the clear coat. Had small 1mm chip in the sit post tube. My 2021 TCR had better paint quality. In regards of rid quality is really good, surprisingly better than TCR. Is also bit faster, I improved all my strava records.

the propel is a great bike. I have a factor ostro as well and idk what it is but the propel is such a more smoother ride. Might be the different group sets (sram force on ostro, ultegra on propel) but switching gears and ride quality is a lot better on the prople, but factor looks prettier.
