Dynamos are for regular bikes not ebikes, essentially if you have a regular bike which doesn't have its own electrical power source you replace the hub of the front wheel with a dynamo hub which generates AC current while the wheel is moving, similar to a car alternator, this way you can have...

In my Giant Fathom E+ 2 pro which comes with no lights pre assembled the motor came with the female connection already in place, so you can just buy either a premade cable, or just buy the male connection and do it yourself, I did it myself, so I bought these (10 units in this case but you only...

Even rims that aren't tubeless ready can be converted by using tape on them, have done it in a previous bike, it is a bit of work since you have to take out the tire, tape the entire inside of the rim (which might be a couple of turns), and then you need to puncture the part of the rim with the...

From what I remembered the difference seemed to mainly be it having an Auto assist mod, much like Bosch MTB system. Which is nice to have on mountain bikes, but hardly a game changer for me personally, since I pretty much only have 3 of the 5 levels, level 1 is I am running out of battery mode...

Thanks for that, it will save me some googling around to look at torque values for several components, although unfortunately no motor, will try and unscrew them with the torque wrench at close to the 22nm and see if it works, since the references I have seen are either 22nm or quite...

Hi, I recently bought a giant fathom e+2 pro 29er and I want to install lights on it, however I am unsure about what the correct screw tightening torque values for the motor on this bike are, I saw 22nm for the yamaha PW-X but that is just the general motor not for this specific model, so I...

That is going to be pretty tricky to find since they might be using some no brand ones, you might try farnell or rsdelivers or digikey or alibaba to see if you can find it since those websites allow to filter by things like number of contacts, but it is going to be complicated. That being said...

It is almost certainly to connect to the tail light, certain bike lights, especially dynamo based headlights have a second connection to pass the electricity from the first connection to a second light (a tail light), like for example this one...

It is likely mandatory to show prices with and without vat, as it is common practice pretty much in every website across the European Union I can remember, also there are cases where it is required by law to sell without VAT, like if they are selling to a business client in another country of...

Oh you have the pro model, that is definitely a side release. For future reference it being a pro model matters a lot, they change battery packs in at least some pro models, for example fathom e+ normal model...

https://www.giant-bicycles.com/global/energypak that shows what side release and top pull is, a Road-E is a top release, while something like the Explore E+ is a side release, you can see it by the design of the energy pack.

Oh, so that is what this is https://www.giant-bicycles.com/ca/energypak-protection-cover-2019 had seen it before but didn't even occur to me that it was to cover the battery ports, wonder if it works in the ones where the battery is down the tube, although ofc those don't need it as much. photo...

Without leaving the battery in place, this: sort of neoprene battery cover is the best thing I have seen, at least until someone makes something for the yamaha like what elect posted for the bosch.

Yeah for road or light trail use there shouldn't really be much of a difference as far as chain slap or chain skipping, in fact I only moved from a sram (non type 2 aka their shadow+ system) to a shadow+ derailleur on my mountain bike when I started doing more rough stuff, things that I would...

Haven't been into mountain biking components for a while now, so what I am saying might be wrong, but deore used to be the rank below SLX, it went something like Deore -> SLX -> XT -> XTR, if it doesn't have the shadow+ (it might just be shadow without the plus aka the lever) one can make the...

I believe the Explore E+1 GTS is suppose to come with a shadow+ derailleur, so not sure if you tried it or not but there should be a lever (usually grey) that you can flip to ease the tension of the derailleur, something that is very useful for say removing the back wheel and putting it back on...

While probably not necessary given that you had battery, in case you have a problem with the wire again (not entirely uncommon in the world of MTB) you could probably manually move the cable of the derailleur to change gears to something lighter, or just simply move the rear derailleur arm, this...

Don't have an explore e+, but I have looked into equipping my fathom e+2 pro with fenders and lights and using the fender as an electrical conductor is not uncommon in other bikes, and it is the cleanest looking way of doing it, but yeah if they are just pushing the wire into a hole and locking...

Does anyone know if the Giant 2020 models already come with the new yamaha PW-XE and PW-ST motors, unfortunately due to Giant silly rebranding haven't been able to find that on their website?
