If I had to buy a new 29er to replace the 2017 toughroad that I love, after weeks of extensive research, I've discovered that Giant still have 2023 models of them for sale and they are in stock. So...

Just a thought - why don't you just get a big apple tyre first and try it on the stock wheel?
As its a 'balloon tyre', I'm wondering if its actually designed to cope better with thinner rims than...

Or the fact that if you lowered the seatpost enough to stop any 'bouncing', then you probably have thrown your optimum seat height off so much, I'm not surprised the toughroad doesn't seem 'fast'!!

As an update to this, I still have the G-one speed 2.35 tyres on.
What I found was that I could move the front gear mech up the frame around a centimeter or so and still be in Srams setup...

Cruiser type bikes aren't really designed for efficient, long distance riding.
The Roll is indeed comfortable for shortish periods of time, but for extended periods, more of your weight than normal...

Hmmm. On an SLR0, possibly. But I've tried 2.35 Schwalbe G-one Speed tyres (that only have about 0.5mm height of tread!) on my SLR1, and while the width is fine, on the rear tyre, they are super,...

I'm not an expert here as there are so many brands out there, but I also have wide feet and often find racing clipless offerings too narrow. The wife did get me for Xmas a pair of specialized shoes -...

So your post has prompted me to look into the Fargo a little more. Seems like an awesome bike! Congrats on finding a good used one - I can't see anything at all available over here in the Uk at the...

When you drill down and look at all the components, pretty much everything on the Toughroad is of a higher spec. The spec increases add a few dollars/tens of dollars to each item, but when you add...

tubeless ready?

Just to check on this - what exactly does 'tubeless ready' mean in this context for the 2017 models?

Yes, my dealer told me that the 2018 models were provided already tubeless from the factory. My understanding is that the 2017 models were not though.
