2 – If that isnt sufficient, I can get a rear groupset with a wider range cassette by either Eagle or Microshift that will fit my current hub. As I approach $200 am I getting close to other options that make more sense? Can I add a swap out a really low gear on giant mountain an existing cassette? Not sure if this is even possible, but trying to make this work with what I have. Microshift doesn’t show all of the Advent 8spd bits on their website, either. It’s worth noting that the 9spd derailleurs, anyway, come in 1x and 2x flavors.

There is a $30 shipping and handling fee on all bicycles. Orders may be available for pick up the same day as order submission or may take up to 10 business days to arrive; bikes shipped to your local retailer will need extra time to be assembled. Bring your order, with proof of purchase, to the local Authorized Giant retailer who assembled your bike. You may be eligible for a full refund of the purchase price, not including initial shipping and handling charges (S&H) plus any applicable tax, so long as any such bicycle is like-new and undamaged. I ride intermediate trails and some technical stuff with it.

We don’t like to hear about folks getting better deals at other bike shops. If you buy a bike at Lewis & Clark then find a better price anywhere in Arkansas within 30 days – we’ll refund you the difference. It’s hard to know which bike you like until you’ve ridden it. Lewis & Clark has a 30-day test ride program with every bike you purchase. That means you have 30 days to see if it’s the right bike for you. If not, you can bring it back to trade for any other bike we have.

All new bicycles purchased at Lewis & Clark come with Free Lifetime Tune-Ups for as long as you own your bicycle! Any time your bike isn’t shifting gears or stopping like it should, just bring it in, and we’ll take care of it. There’s room for up to 2.4in tyres on both 27.5 and 29in versions of the frame and all are built to accept giant mountain racks, mudguards or a kickstand. There’s a choice of five different builds for 2021 and each of those is available with the choice of either 27.5 or 29in wheels. Riverfront Cycle, Lansing Michigan’s premier bike shop, is committed to furthering cycling knowledge whether you’re buying, need service or seeking to learn more.

Two things dominate the Talon’s ride character – its wheels and its frame. Smaller wheels fidget around the trail more than bigger 29ers. Combine that with a frame that’s all about efficient pedalling over rider comfort and you’ve got a recipe for a very talkative bike.

The 22/36 chainrings and the cassette give you a wider range of gears than you’d get on a 1x drivetrain. The biggest gear is bigger, the smallest gear is smaller, and you have better options in between. Another cost saving measure is the TRP hydraulic disc brakeset. On the trail it was hard to notice a difference in stopping power between these and the Shimano brakes found on the Trek Marlin 7, a very similar but slightly more expensive bike.

First thing I upgraded were the pedals as the stocks ones are plastic. These are actually lighter than the stock pedals even though they are metal. I also dumped the Suntour xcm forks even though they took the abuse I dished out. Bike feels much different now and definitely better on the trails with better response that inspires more confidence.

Their ALUXX-grade aluminum hardtail frames are kept light and simple by using uniquely-shaped frame tubes, which eliminate unneeded gussets and welds. The 27.5-inch wheels and Maxxis tires will get you through the XC business with aplomb. These bikes are also available with 29″ wheels if you want even more unstoppable power on the trails.
