    What I really don't like about my Giant Explore E+4

    Thanks for the suggestions! I bought a seat post on line that had the most setback that I could find but once I got it it looks like the setback is the same as the stock post. I'm pretty sure that I have the largest frame size. I have an old Brooks saddle I'll see if the has longer rails. Yes...

    What I really don't like about my Giant Explore E+4

    I test rode a Trek and read the reviews on the Specialized. Why I bought the Giant was because it had front suspension and five power settings. Both of which I really appreciate.

    What I really don't like about my Giant Explore E+4

    1) The terrible Owners Manual. 2) The only slightly better fork manual 3) The shifter levers: If you move the set so that the down shifter lever doesn't rub against the base of your thumb it is then hard to reach the up shifter lever. 4) The fact that the heel of my left shoe hits the kickstand...

    Seat post clamp bolt

    Thanks, that's what I thought. No I didn't round them out and I have several sets of hex keys and they all fit the same. I'm afraid of rounding them out using the 4mm key.

    Seat post clamp bolt

    Interesting. What did the US do when it started making Rolls Royce Merlin engines in WW2?

    I agree but we're too pig headed. Tried and failed.

    Seat post clamp bolt

    British bikes, true historically. Not now. European bikes, no. Commonly used now are Metric. Have you ever seen a Whitworth hex wrench set? They did not even have hex bolts back then.

    Seat post clamp bolt

    I find that a 4 mm is too small and strips the head but a 5/32" fits tighter. Does Giant use SAE bolts? Actually I converted and 4mm is larger than 5/32" My apologies.

    User Manual: Two Stars

    I have a 2020 Explorer and I was given 3 Manuals by dealer. Hybrid User Manual V6.8, How It Works User Manual V6.6, and Giant Bicycle Owner's Manual V11. None of them tell how to adjust the shocks or how to set Bluetooth to get a read out as Giant chintzed on the 2020 and removed the Ride...
