Thank you answers.

Anyone familliar with replacing the fork of this bike. Cause it's cheaper it used normal Giant OverDrive and not OverDrive2 Steerer. I know it is 1/8 and the other is 1/4 at the top, i've heard you could buy different top tube cap.

In any case. Anyone tries to drive both options, is feeling so better, like on fast descenting?

Can anyone definatively confirm the thru axle thread size on a 2021 TCR Advanced Disc 3 please?

I trusted the Giant website which said 1' but it's not...

Have tried printing the Wolf Tooth guide but can't make my mind up if it's the 1.5 or 1.75.

Thanks

Just be careful with the seatpost clamp and do not torque it up to 7 nm. 5 nm should be more than enough. Giant supplied the first production series with wrong seat clamps that fit poorly and can damage the frame or paint. They later updated the clamp.

It has been covered in this thread around p. 80.

Thanks, the frameset came with the newer updated clamp.

Any tips on the cabling with a mechnical groupset?

M/L if you want a lower, racier position or don't mind spacers to raise front end. L will provide a taller front end (and less exposed seat tube), which may allow you to slam the stem. You may need to change the supplied stem to get the correct reach. Compare a current well fitting bike on the Geometry Geeks site and pick the closest match. General advice is to opt for the smaller bike if between sizes as there are fewer compromises in achieving the correct fit. A smaller bike will be a bit lighter too.

You can probably use both M/L and L without issues Your measurements and flexibility will decide witch one suits you best.

I am 6.150 and decided to buy a Large TCR SL frameset, but with shorter crankarms and narrower handlebar than "standard". I use a 120mm stem on the large frame. I had a Giant Propel in M/L earlier and I prefer the fit of the TCR.

M/L will be fine. I have M with saddle at 79.5 (about 1.5 cm chopped off and using thinnest ISP topper), and the M/L post is 3 cm longer than the M.

Ok thanks for that.

I ended up calling a Giant store to double check, they put a saddle on the frame and measured it, they said I could pretty much get up to 850mm

Ordered the frame anyway 8)
