DREAM BUILD - Giant TCR Advanced (4k)

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

The masterpiece super bike for climbing and descending that most manufacturers have copied over the years. Love the Giant TCR Advanced. Those CADEX wheels are dope. Awesome video.

[@Mount7]

Thanks a lot!

[@michellebergeron574]

[@marcb1278]

Nice!... but why were the cables not routed internally in the handlebar? Curious.

[@Mount7]

Hi Marc & thanks for your comment! With the currently installed stem it's not possible to route the cabels internally. We are planning a further uprade to a Giant Contact SLR System. Ac ombined stem and handlebar with wich we will route the cables internally plus save a few gram :)

[@chakrasurya7601]

​@@Mount7You could route the cable internally on 2021 TCR?

[@piotrus5552]

Rimbrakes will be weight 6.80..

[@Mount7]

Yes, but brake performance is an issue, especially if you're riding races.

[@Sterlikov]

👍

[@Mount7]

👍

[@DeMonkey]

What is up with the routing of the brake cables not going through the handlebar?

[@Mount7]

The frameset is the 2022 model from Giant, at that time not yet with fully integrated cable routing.

[@roady1710]

Can you answer the question I saw 12 on the scale was that in pounds or what was the conversion to us

[@Mount7]

Hey man! Thanks for your question, scale showed 7,2kg, which would be 15,87lbs converted to freedom units

[@hta9663]

kereeenn...

[@Mount7]

:)

[@dobry_czlowiek]

The white grease for the bolts, what is it?

[@Mount7]

Carbon paste, used to increase friction between carbon equipment. With the increased friction you need a lot less torque to tighten the screws, decreasing the risk of putting to much stress on carbon components.

[@clemensaverdung5421]

😍😍

[@Mount7]

💕

[@vcl97]

Best Gavia 0 25mm or 28mm for TCR and giant SLR1 wheels?

[@Mount7]

Works both ways. I think the question is rather what kind of roads you are on. Are they rather in a very good condition and smooth or rather a bit older with cracks and potholes?

[@paulpfeiffer4949]

Thanks for the awesome video! That bar tape looks super grippy, is it? What brand & model is it? Thanks! 😁

[@Mount7]

Thank you! The bar tape ist the SQ Lab 712 (www.mount7.com/sqlab-lenkerband-712.html). The grip indeed is very good and we can really recommend it!

[@LTBlightthebeam]

What were you brushing on (or off) the expander plug before sliding it in the steerer tube?

[@Mount7]

That should be Motorex Carbon Paste

Hello! I am in MTB for almost 2 years and I am converting to road bikes....What do you think about Giant Tcr Advanced 2016 model? - Is it good for beginners? - What is the perfect size for 1.78 cm Height? - Can I do packaging with the bike

[@NorkusMartynas]

Hi there! Giant TCR is a great frameset - perfect for medium road rides, crit racing. Is it good for beginners? Depends on Your fitness - if You are flexible enough for rather aggressive bike geometry, it will be fine. Perfect size for 1.78 m would be 54-55 or M/L. Packaging - I guess You meant bikepacking? If so, the answer would be probably, but true bikepacking is gravel riding, so You'd have to stick to road if the frameset is for rim brakes.

[@NorkusMartynas]

@@morkeomorkei3540 I'd say whichever of those frames You're most comfortable on and which one is the most appealing visually to You. 105 and Ultegra not much of a difference just weight and looks. Also, that difference in price might be impacted by other components such as wheels, handlebars, seatpost, seat, etc. If I had to pick, I'd go with Ultegra and decent set of wheels

[@tomaszzytkiewicz1992]

Someone knows what is the handlebar? I would love to have this one in my TCR

[@Mount7]

Heyo, thanks for your question! As of now (and in the video) it's still the Vision Manillar Metron 4d Flat Mas Di2 440 Mm 31.8, but the plan is to change it to a GIANT Contact SLR System with a combined stem and handlebar.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Faszinierend, wie etwa die Hälfte der Arbeitszeit nur für das Verlegen von Kabeln und Bremsleitungen draufgeht und das trotz des Fertig-Laufradsatzes und der einteiligen Vorbau/Lenker-Einheit. Anno Dunnemals hat das Einspeichen der Laufräder am längsten und das Verlegen der Brems- und Schaltzüge (ohne Schnitt und Zeitraffer) nur fünf Minuten gedauert. Wie wär's übrigens das nächste Mal mit einer Großaufnahme des fertigen Rads zum Schluss?

That's super-light for current road bike designs. 8 kg is the norm in this price range at the time. Total integration, disc brakes and extremely wide tyres (+28 mm) do not contribute to weight reduction (or improving aerodynamics, either).
