New suport and crankset to my Giant Anyroad 2
I have bought some time ago new Giant Anyroad 2 2019. After few kilometers I have came to conclusion taht I need bigger geras in front and much stiffer cranks and gears because I am able to bend them enought to touch derailleur and it bothers me a lot. Could you recommend me anythig better than current FSA Omega crankset and FSA MegaExo bottom bracket? I want to go for 2 gears 50-34. Unfortunately I do not know size of my bottom bracket and since I have moved on my own do not have any tools to measure it properly. Any help would be greately apprecieated. I would like to spend no more than 130-150$

I am sure you can find out the BB standard and dimensions through Giant.
Crankset FSA Omega, 32/48
Bottom Bracket FSA MegaExo

Unfortunately either I am not skilled enough or this information is hidden deep enough that I can't find it on Giant's website. I have checked Bicycle Owner's manual with no luck. Directly on bottom bracket there is information "1.37x24T". As far as I can tell that means that this is thread type and how deep it is. I am unable to find any more information than above

But you should be able to stop the chain rubbing the derailleur with your existing cranks with just some adjustment of the front derailleur.
Take it back to the shop you got it from and tell them what it is doing.

Unfortunately I have been there 3 times requesting proper adjustment. Still no luck with that. Is there any good aftermarket crankset that will fit my 9 speed gear? or only Shimano Tiagra? 105 will be to narrow I suppose as it is meant to work with 11 speed gears.

You could look for a good condition second hand Shimano crankset. Dura Ace (7700) or Ultegra (6500).
They will almost certainly have a 53/39 chainring combo.

Unfortunately full road crankset will be to big for me. I wanted to go for 50-34 setup with 9 speed gears in the back. Also I am not convinced to those retro setups from some reason.
