New Giant TCR Advanced announced

[JSam]

Hi all, I've got a 2021 TCR Advanced Pro 1 Disc, and trying to find a new stem, which is not so easy these days as it tuirns out! Does anyone know if this (https://www.giantvaughanonline.com/cart.cfm) Giant stem is compatiable with the 2021 TCR and if it will accept the 2021 Giant garmin stem mount? Alternately, is anyone aware of a non-giant stem that will fit on the new TCR and also accept the garmin mount?

Thanks in advance!

Last night I did another test. I pressed hard on the pedal while being stopped and pressing break. I could hear the BB click.
LBS told me they would replace the BB. From what I heard once you remove BB cups you need to use new ones. Not sure if they did. They are not being very helpful. The issue is that this is the place I bought the bike from, so I would expect they support me.

Do you use grease in BB? I have seen applying retaining compound before pressing cups in.

Yes, i think your asking for trouble re using a pf shimano BB, as it has to be knocked out to remove and use a parktool press to install new one.

Never used retaining compound in shimano PF, just a smear of silicon grease, this has worked well in TCR, Canyon road and mtb's, with a small amount on the 24mm spindle of the crankset for rust prevention, don't over tighten the preload, if your doing any of this yourself......

LBS confirmed that they replaced BB. So now they say they will contact Giant.
I saw Hambini is using retaining compound when installing his BB.

Does anyone know the measurements of the tcr advanced handlebar in size M / L ? Reach/drop/width

Not sure about the weather for Spain, I would not suggest don't have an open Stem Cap. Else, anything that went in will get stuck.

I've recently ordered the tcr advanced pro disc frame set, just trying to make sure I have all the correct parts ready for when it arrives. Could anyone tell me what comes with it? Eg headset/axles/compression plug etc

I'm sure I saw it somewhere in the depths of this post, but can't find it again. The giant website isn't very clear.

Thanks

Managed to answer my own question. Here's what comes in the box:

Frame

Fork

Headset plus spacers and expander plug

Seat post and seat clamp

Mech hangers

12mm thru axles plus 1 lever

RideSense

Cable guides and plugs to run mechanical shifting, Di2 and AXS.

What is that "RideSense" part exactly?

What is that "RideSense" part exactly?

It's a removable speed/cadence sensor, installed on inner part of the drive side of the chainstay

That's nice that they included it. I guess that compensates for not having the power-meters from a full bike.

Hope it doesnt creak!

Guys, has anyone figured out whats going on with SLR hookless wheels? ZIPP and ENVE have gone hookless, but they dont make statements about tire compatibility.
Does the statement below mean that if a tire is rates MAX 72.5 psi, its ok to use with Giant SLR?

I checked Pirelli and they say only to use 28 or 30. Why 26 is not compatible?

P ZERO™ Race TLR 28-622 and P ZERO™ Race TLR 30-622 are compatible with hookless rims according to ETRTO 5bar/73psi max pressure limitations.

P ZERO™ Race TLR 24-622 and P ZERO™ Race TLR 26-622 are NOT compatible with hookless rims.

However, should you prefer to run a non-Giant or CADEX tire, listed below are the tires with an indicated maximum pressure above 72.5psi (5 bar) that have passed the Giant test protocol for use with Giant hookless rims. Please note that if the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of a tire is below 72.5psi (5 bar), the tire is tubeless compatible, and is not indicated as being incompatible with hookless rims, it can be used with Giant hookless WheelSystems and does not have to appear on the chart below:

Giant SLR wheels have a narrower internal width(21mm), which means you will need more pressure than 72.5psi on a 25/28mm tyre. For instance with the supplied 25mm tyres which measure 28mm on the SLR rim, I need 85psi on the rear and 80psi up front. So there is a risk of tyre blow off because we are over the safe 72.5psi ETRTO limit.

Enve/Zip have wider internal width, so the same tyres can be run with less PSI, friend has the zip 303 and he runs them around 60 psi. This is why those rims have more tyre compatibility vs the SLR rims.

You could argue that maybe Giant are being over zealous here but at the end of the day no one wants to have their tyre blow off which could result in death. I haven't heard of any reports of this happening so their safety protocol is working I guess.

Good info there. Yes you are right, Giant suggest me running 80 psi on their 25mm tires. Going 28 I guess pressure would be withing ETRTO, that's why they only say 25-26 tires failed their test.
What is the reason Giant went with narrower internal? Or did others went with wider so that they dont have this issue?

Giant's SLR wheels are actually 19mm internal except for their 65mm wheels (22mm), but those do not come stock

I don't quite understand that part. Why do you need more than 72.5psi? What happens if your tyres are, say, 70psi (which could happen if you forget to top-up the pressure one day before you go on your ride)?
