Capricorn Posted February 26, 2016 Share Not sure about that shock being upside down... don't see it lubing the seals internally. first out movement might feel sticky, but once that oil sloshes around, that stiction will disappear before you even realize it happened. In forks it lasts a bit longer until the foam seals are soaked due to the length of the fork tubes. It's generally a short transition at worst.

KayJ Posted February 29, 2016 Share A 2015 giant trance 2, but they are difficult to find new, occasionally one pops up on the classifieds! For a few grand extra you can a get 2016 trance. PregoRoll and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PregoRoll Posted March 1, 2016 Share Seems you can only get a rear thru-axle at the rear with the much higher specced bikes. Bit of a let down with Trance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLMTB Posted March 1, 2016 Share Seems you can only get a rear thru-axle at the rear with the much higher specced bikes. Bit of a let down with Trance 2 But you can get the conversion kit separately, thru axle drop outs and axle. Will set you back about 1k.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 1, 2016 Share Yeah Prego, did the TA conversion and it is a massive difference. Looking at the price there are obviousluly areas to improve on the Trance 2 but bang for buck you just cant beat it!! PregoRoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
