Hello fellow cyclists,

I searched on the internet but I couldn't find anything.

I'm interested in the Giant Defy Advanced 2 2019.

Does anyone know which 105 it comes with? Is it 5800 or the new 7000?

Many thanks

    Giant conduct brakes aren't that bad, personally I prefer full hydraulic. But still way better than rim or cable disc brakes especially in the wet. And still a nice bike, personally I'd wait for end of season bargains, that's how I got my adv pro. A lot o the time last year's are normally better than incoming versions due to working to a price bracket.

    Thanks Oxoman. I think I can get it for £1,500, RRP 1699. Do you think it's a good deal?

    Do you know the difference between giant conduct and full hydraulic?

    Cheers

    Last yrs bike is £1200 from rutland. Conduct brakes are basically a centralized brake cylinder,reservoir controlled by cables from the levers unlike full hydraulic which has the reservoir built into the levers. See a few I found, TCR would be my choice out of these.

    Thanks. It's very helpful. This has put me a bit off this bike. Maybe I will look for a previous year bike on a deal and maybe upgrade the groupset in the future.

    Cheers
