Hello everyone

recently bought myself a Giant trance x 4 and have used it a few times and so far im really impressed with it.

Just woundering if there are any worthwile upgrades for it? Heres the spec of the bike

Was maybe thinking of trying to save some weight if thats possible?

And i also noticed when i was out on the bike last sunday that the rear brakes arnt gripping aswell as they were when i first got it, do they jus need adjusting and if so how do i do it?

It will be going in for its first check in about three-four weeks for its free 6 weeks check so they will prob adjust it then but i would like to know for future, as its obviously cheeper for me to service it in the future :lol:

  • Maybe new wheels? I have an Anthem X4 and just replaced the ones supplied with Shimano MT65s (from Merlin), a new XT cassette and lighter inner tubes ... lost nearly a kilo in weight. Nice wheels too 8)
