DJR Posted August 27, 2014 Share Evan getting his whip on in Morzine on the 10m table. After watching him do the huge stuff over there on that bike I have a new found respect for the Trance. Now I have a little issue with this: My only good excuse for not doing 10m tables, road gaps and mega drops, namely that my bike isn't made for it, is suddenly proven to be a load of crock. Next thing people will start suspecting that I simply just don't have the skills and balls for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawler Posted August 28, 2014 Share Getting mine tomorrow, with dropper post! May the weather gods smile upon me, over this weekend... Congrats. Did you get a good deal? They can be had for 22k or less. I still haven't committed but thinking about doing so tomorrow. With Pike, Dropper, Stem, Bars, Headset, Brakes, Flow rims, Evo hubs it takes the cost up to a wopping 45k or so. The crazy thing is this is still cheaper than building a custom Pyga or something.

Quantum Theory Posted August 29, 2014 Share Got mine this afternoon, but still stuck at the office... So, is there any way of doing full internal routing for a Giant Contact Switch dropper? They routed mine internally through the downtube and then it exits and goes externally up the seattube. Looks pretty neat, but I pictured it being internal all the way.

Provided you have the newest dropper (black stantion) then you change the cable to connect at the bottom of the post, then it is completely inside the frame... Check dropper is the 100mm one - sounds silly but I had a 75mm fitted and didn't notice. Had it changed no hassles but just make sure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've got that one, but... my question is more about the routing of the cable. Can you run it down the toptube of the Trance 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you run it down the toptube of the Trance 2?No routing goes down the down tube (like rear brake and derailleurs, but instead of coming out the bottom, it goes over the bb (still inside the frame) and up the seat tube and connects to the bottom of the dropper.
