PSA about rear tire clearance. I mounted up WTB Riddler 45mm tires that cut through the frame at the chainstay. That was running the factory carbon Giant Wheels. I went down to a Gravel King SK in 43 and it also cut into the frame. Mounted up stiffer Carbon Wheels and they still made contact. Giant warrantied the frame. I'm now running 42mm Specialized tires and they have made light contact. They measure around 43-44mm. I've purchased a crap load of tires for this bike and I'm now going back to 40mm.

Hi! I'm planning to upgrade my Giant Revolt Advanced 3, luckily I decided to switch to 1x11 so I don't need cable for front derailleur, but I' wondering how did you mount battery? Does it fit D-fuse seatpost? I think I've seen some adapters. Also what wire length/combination of wires should be used for real derailleur?

I also bought the three way cable EW-JC130 and used those inside the bars. I bought the group on eBay from seller mlyus2012. Great seller, I bought two Di2 groups from them and they even customized my last group.

This would serve my needs of getting a bike with an Awesome Orange paint job, flatbar conversion for my back, and removal of the cheap crazy oem brake setup. PS if your di2 soldering fails, try using marine grade solder and before you shrink the heatube over the join, inject marine silicone (sikaflex)

ted waetford it was a close decision. I’m all in at about US$3600 without carbon wheels so I think I will fair better than upgrading the 0 since it would be US$3500 for the 0 plus about $1200 to go Di2. I can get the same Giant wheels for about $600. Plus I love the orange bike and hate the all black bikes that are popular now.

I agree with your assessment on it being a gravel/race bike.

I think they did a great job balancing those qualities by whatever they did with the carbon and the layup process.

@bikeguyconsulting2849

Gregory LaFayette The old bars did not have anything internally routed as they were mechanical shifting and mechanical brakes. The two hardest parts of switching bars were getting the stiff hydraulic cables into and out of the holes in the bars, and figuring out the best length Di2 cables to use internally on the bars. I also used the new bar end cockpit junction box from Shimano so that complicated things a little bit more. Really glad I went through the process because I love the new bars and the ergonomic platform while riding on the hoods. If you didn’t update your bike to Di2 then I think it will be easier for you since you don’t have to deal with the electronic cables and junction box

Hey seems like you know bicycles really well ! I’m actually looking to get a gravel/adventure bike and I’m currently looking at the Merida Silex 400, I ride mainly on paved road mix with just a short distance of gravel road. Do you think the bike suits my style of ride as it have a more relaxed geometry so I guess it performs best off-road ?
@bikeguyconsulting2849
@bikeguyconsulting2849 6 жыл бұрын
So sorry I missed your post! The Merida Silex line is well rated by many reviewers, and it does have a more upright geometry than most bikes, which is more suited to off-road adventure riding. However, many bikes now have a "endurance" geometry, which is more upright than a traditional road racing bike but less than a touring or adventure bike. I spend most of my time on the road with maybe 20% gravel, but all the big events I do are 80-90% gravel and include 5,000-10,000 feet of climbing so I really wanted a bike that could still do both well. I evaluated a ton of bikes' geometries and concluded that any bike released in that last 2 years and calling itself a gravel bike had an "endurance" style fit. Hope that helps, and sorry for the delay in responding.

105 and aluminum bars simply can't be 5lbs heavier than Di2 ultegra and a carbon bar. New ultegra mechanical is so smooth that Di2 is just a boutique upgrade. I'll take carbon wheels and mechanical ultegra on the Advanced O any day and spend the extra $1000 on 20+ races or a boat load of gravel road trips.

Steve Boyle yeah, I threw away the original scale I used to weight the stock bike because it was clearly off. A few comments quoted the stock bike weighed at a shop at just over 21 pounds. And it wasn’t just the 105 and bars. I also got rid of that huge Giant Conduct system and the stock wheels to bring the weight down. I don’t agree that the Di2 as being an insignificant upgrade. I ride both mechanical and Di2 and I can’t wait to get back on Di2 every time. The ease of a simple tap to shift versus a longer sweep of a lever, the self trimming front derailleur, the customization of the shifter buttons and especially the integration to the Garmin all make it worthwhile. So far I’ve spent less then the advanced zero and I might be a little higher once I add carbon wheels but I think it was the right way to go for me at least

Also the mechanical hydro ultegra shifter are still too bulky in my opinion, I really value the feeling of a smaller hoods and the new di2 hydro is a marvel of engineering. How they fit all that into such a small package is crazy.

I am not a fan of putting aero bars on a gravel bike. For me, the saddle position (front to back) would never be the same for riding on the regular bars versus riding on the aero bars. I am only comfortable on aero bars if my saddle is pushed way forward, and that isn't right if I'm grinding up a long gravel climb with my hands on the tops of the bars.

I’m old and stiff so aero bars don’t agree with me but you obviously can take advantage of them with that type of event. Honestly, I’m going to replace those aero bars with round bars over the winter. That flat top bar area is not comfortable on bumpy roads
