Do you feel you picked the right size? I have been looking on this frame but im debating wich size to pick since im also right between sizes at 5’11

My shop said that the fork was shipped dry Once it was oiled It’s been great - no clanking noise

Very nice build! How good is the painting? Did any chips or scratches appear?

It's about the cable

how is it going? did you hit drops and jumps? any issues with frame?

Colour looks great! Do you recall what RAL code you asked for?

Hi! I have the same frame, Im very happy with everything! What is the weight of the bike assembly?

I'm thinking of buying this frame, how much did it cost for just the frame? do you think it will be ok with a 190x51mm rear shock instead of 185x50?

I'm thinking about getting one of these frames, how is the bike holding up these days?

Hey Kurt, what size dropper is it and what size needle bearings? I've got the same frame on order and want to get the same components.

I've been running advent x as well and it is such a good deal! Right now it's on sale at chain reaction so you can get the whole kit for 90 bucks! That's less than an NX cassette from Sram

Hi, can you please tell whether 29er 2.6 tires fit into frame or not? You installed 2.4 but is there a space to install wider tire?

its just the cable.

Sweet build! I'm waiting on my Carbonda FM-936 frame to show up right now, so my apartment has bike parts all over the place... I was nervous about going with a trail or enduro frame since the riding gets more rowdy, so I went with a XC. I hope the FM1001 holds up through the chunky stuff and drops etc! I would definitely consider one in the future if so

Hi Kurt: I have been looking at this frame due to the geo numbers etc. Have you tried other downcountry style bikes like this? I am really interested in how we the bike handles technical climbs? Are the suspension pivots bearings or bushings?

how long did it take to recieve the frame after ordering?

Sooooooooooo Crest is known for this issue. I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!! It is definitely not the cartridges, although that could be one of the other issues. That creaking noise is coming from the bottom of the stem where it is press fitted into the ark where the 2 shocks join. I got back from the shop today and I had a gut feeling they did not fix the problem when they said you’re bike is all done. They didn’t listen and were confident that it was the cartridges. If you put your finger at the bottom of the stem, with the front brake on move the bike forward and you will feel the cracking sound. You will also feel it move around. That small movement is no good. I requested that the shop ask Giant to replace it with a different brand of fork. They said they will put that request in. We’ll see what happens.

I wish my bike made a cool taping noise like that

Return by warranty

I have had my stance 2 with this fork for about 3 months and put about 200 miles on it. It has had an intermittent creaking noise for the past two months and it went out on me a few days ago. Once I got to the bottom of a small hill it sunk a little more than normal and and stayed there. As I was slowly making my way back to my vehicle it forcefully extended back out and slammed the top with a very loud bang. Now it is extremely stiff and if I can get it to compress it slams back and sounds like somebody is hitting the front of my bike with a hammer. The bike shop told they never heard of problems with this fork although I reading a lot of the same stories. They are going to try and get giant to warranty this but I worry replacement forks doing the same

So many complaints on such a expensive bike. That’s just unacceptable.

It’s the cable length, I have the same bike.

페덤 지오메트리는 괸찮은데 샥은 쓰레기

same problem with my dropper post how did you get over from it?

I spent a little time looking at mine (I took it off the bike). I thought it was a top out clunk at first. it’s not, it’s when the fork changed direction/extends. Gets worse the more compression you add. So it’s whatever bushing or slider contacts the inner fork tube or maybe the compression damper mechanism. Local bike shop hasn’t had much luck with Giant since I’m not the original owner but they’re still trying. Little less worried about riding it though.

Did you resolve it? I have the fathom 1 no issues on the fork works great on the trail.

@kurt following up from what Giant told to check.... Did that resolve the issue ? Thanks

any more updates on this. Expecting deliver of one in December

U dont need suspension

Just take it apart, clean it out and re-grease it with sram butter or similar. It will work again.

Got it fixed yet?

I bought a stance with this fork November 2020. Had a knock develop in about a couple of weeks. Took it to the giant store in Vaughan Ontario where it was purchased. They had it for a month and replaced the fork with a new one. Been fine since then.

Hay que apacharle la palanca y yah

Just get a replacement cartridge for 20 bucks.

I’m not sure if you fixed the dropper seat post yet. but I have same bike and have had similar issues. Usually that is from cable being too tight. I’ve taken my dropper out for cleaning and reinstalled 3 times since I’ve bought mine a year ago. Working good now though. Good luck

I have this problem too giant seatpost low quality

Looks like a lot of problems with Giant lineup. Sad to see this. I wonder if Talon 0 has the same issue. The fork is GIANT SXC32-2 RL Air.

I feel Bad for You Bro. Ive been using Giant Since 2018. Now Just Recently Upgraded to XTC SLR 1 2021. Havent Ridden the new Crest Yet but im earning some money to replace it immediately with Rockshox Reba. since most of the components i have with My XTC is good enough for me

Could just be the cable length / position / routing. Have it checked out by a knowledgeable bike mechanic, might be pretty simple

Should've gotten a Specialized Fuse 😔

HEAD SET FIXE

Try to add another O ring. It should solve. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ-YmZmnbtyEarc

I just bought what may be the last Giant Fathom 2 29er in size M in the US. Had to order it through my local Giant shop to another one out of state. I'm just crossing my fingers that it has a functioning and non-clicking fork.

My 2021 Fathom has same fork no noise but the fork stuck in rebound but slowly released 2 hours later.??? Lbs has no idea

Ouch!

My front axle wasn't tightened down ...now the noise went away after I tightened it , also my head clamp wasn't tightened down . I loosened the three bolts tightened it nice and tight everything is nice and quiet now ... Hope yours was a simple fix like mine... The bike rips down the hills pretty good and climbs awesome !!!

lower the air presser it will fix that

Another video solved it by adding an o ring

Funny thing, I went to my lbs yesterday tried 3 different Fathoms, all 3 made that noise. I'm really surprised why GIANT hasn't done anything about this and keeps shipping this forks.

Hi Kurt, my Stance 2 29 (2021) has the Crest 34 forks on it and makes the same noise! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2q1fpinZb5mmqc Did you manage to fix the issue?
