For your generator over the winter whilst not being used, Disconnect the battery if you can and just empty the fuel! Fantastic video as always Tom, and loving the new bike!
Have you checked the IFP/piggyback pressure? Try 220psi on that. And the final suggestion is to add the volume spacers , both on positive and negative chambers . Success! Have a great ride
You should paint the drop in decking with deck paint. They have a paint that has grit in it so you won't slip when it's wet. Almost like a sand paper .
I wonder about the rear shock. Do you have fast and slow compression and rebound adjustment? I feel like just air is not the approach. The air pressure determines the support, the compression and rebound determines the action, especially somthing fast like a jump landing. I would think for jumps if you dialed up the slow speed compression you would still get some impact absorbtion without the squishy sensation. Play around with the compression and rebound in various ways but do small adjustments and establish a baseline. If you have a contact to a giant or suntour engineer i would think they could tell you what shock could get you the kind of control you want out of it. Yes more air or stiff coil will also fix it but not in the same way, kind of defeats some of high end engineered dampers. What you want should be possible if the engineers see it all fundamentally enough and the shock can do it....which I sometimes doubt in the bike world. Maybe a downhill shock is more engineered for specifically big jumps/hits?
interesting that i saw so many used giant trances come in for service nothing against them just worked on a lot of old orange giant trances in the 2022 season
Were they just trances or the tranceX? I know a lot of ppl that have gotten into biking on a trance and they beat them to piss, mostly just trashed the wheels
AA bike without a motor. That's unheard of on UA-cam. Notice how all bike brand frames have this little box, on the downtube. Oddly, most frames of all brands are manufactured in a single building in China, or Taiwan, or now-a-days...India. Wherever the metal is cheapest. Just a-lot of BS marketing about how the metal is aerospace grade, or it's (specially made) for a brand. Oddly, Giant, Specialized, Trek, Cannondale, Cube, and retail store frames, are all manufactured in the very same building. Just different stickers, and processing for weight reduction. Same material. Bike pricing is so outta reality, only the wealthy can give a positive excuse for spending thousands on a bike. For me, it's why there is no bike shop within fifty miles. Even online stores are going out-of-business, due to bike prices. And bike brands, are suffering for spending millions(tax dollars, courtesy of democrats), marketing e-bikes, which are in reality, not selling very well.
Just stoked that you have some decent support and sponsorship… been a long time coming. Respect!
Keep it coming tom! Love the slopeduro build!

No worries maxing the shock out mate. These things are designed with a factor of safety. Perfectly fine to run it 300 psi
Really love that frame on that color! 😍
Oh I love your bike.
"GREAAT SUCCESS" caught me of guard 😂
The best trance X bro!✌️

Yes I have it’s at the max too
I'm trying to wrap my head around what you did to that bike ( I own the same one ) but I can't.

Smart little bike. Nice and clean. What is the Gyro you use?
mint looking bike, love those dmr bars.....which model is that??
get an electrical pump mate...works wonders and they compact...im not talking about those with air adapters...
It's Beautiful now beat Emil??

Easier said then done but I’ll try
Can you show how you mount your GoPro to your helmet?

What happened to the dirt jumps you where making at the very top of your compound
on website that bike is silver no option for that cool orange.
bro i need suntour air shock , i have bad one and i need about 140mm travel ane length 190mm and width 45mm can u help me find one?
Forget the suntour air shock Jenson USA currently has fox dhx coils for $279 in 190x45
Putting 27's on a 29 bike, does that not make the bottom bracket feel too low?
It's my understanding adjustment of the flip chip in the rear maestro suspension would raise it.

Trance yeah they were well loved nothing too far beaten tho
That's a great looking bike Tom! Do you run a singlespeed at bike parks?
Yes I do!
Hello, may I know weight of the frame?
Whats the name of the Gyro?
Welche Größe ist der Rahmen?
And probably load the geni up every now and then so it doesn’t glaze over
isn't the mtn components gyro only meant to run on dot oil?
There are two versions
didn't see it on the website and I really want to see this cool little bike on trails
We need in riding trails on this bike
Proobackadoom
Why didn't you just get the Giant Trance X that comes with 27.5 Wheels?
