Vlogging The AMAZING Great South Run!!
My family attempted the great south run for the second year in a row.
Although it was cancelled, mum, Josh and Jake still ran the same route in weather which consisted of 50mph gusts, heavy rain and cold temperatures.
Stick around and enjoy this rather funny and crazy video to see if they finished and experience a great atmosphere!
Thank you to everyone who sponsored the crazy trio, all the money went to a very good cause: one that is very close to us.

    Hi, is the Giant power meter still good? Zero issues?

    • @Tommy_cycles
      @Tommy_cycles Месяц назад

      Yes, not had any major issues so far. Super easy wireless charging (insanely fast charging) the only thing I am a bit disappointed about is that if your chain drops on the inside of the chain set, it will scuff the power meter and has actually damaged the grooves that the charger ports sit in to secure it in place. Still charges fine but something that I might need to do maintenance on later. DM me on insta and I’ll send you a photo. Overall it’s very good 👍

    I have SLR 1 wheels on my TCR and find the bearings wear out way to easy. Back wheel in particular needs bearings done twice a year. The TCR is my second bike and gets minimal riding. Have cadex on my propel,no issues with them.

    • @Tommy_cycles
      @Tommy_cycles 3 месяца назад

      not too sure what could be causing that. could be something to do with the type of cleaning products used, the weather the wheels are used in and how you clean the bike.I tend to take the free hub off to get to the bearings and clean out the grit and dirty grease that gets worse over time. finally I apply fresh grease to prevent water getting into the bearings easily. this helps keep the bearings last longer as there is less dirt potentially entering the seal of the bearings themselves. Hope this helps.

    Great bike. I was in and out of the Giant store recently and was very close to buying this exact model. However, I went with a second hand 2022 Propel SL0 instead for a little bit cheaper than a new Pro 0. Main reason being I have an old TCR SL0 and the feeling of the SL frame has broken me. Any other bike I ride feels like it's made of wood compared to the SL frame. As you said you love your bike and I absolutely adore my SL 😅, and I think that's the most important thing. Would highly recommend the SL though to anyone else 🤪

    Had same bike and model, bought in end of 2023. The only thing Im not happy with, is how thin and delicate the paint is. Was able to scratch the bottom bracket just by removing the chain and touching the frame, second time when removing protective tape, it came off with the clear coat. Had small 1mm chip in the sit post tube. My 2021 TCR had better paint quality. In regards of rid quality is really good, surprisingly better than TCR. Is also bit faster, I improved all my strava records.

    How is the difference with the sl ?

    • @Tommy_cycles
      @Tommy_cycles 5 месяцев назад

      so the sl carbon is layered differently, I think they use less pieces of carbon. This makes the sl lighter than the propel and despite it being lighter, it is stiffer meaning more power is being put through the drivetrain and not lost though flexing in the frame etc. Finally, if you look at the two bikes side by side, you will see that the seat posts look different due to more advanced tech. hope this answered your question :-)

      Sorry for the late response, I agree however, you will want to buy the bike that you will enjoy the most whilst owning it. Don’t worry too much about the resale price as there will most likely be people your size too. If you get the Pro then you can have some money left over to either enjoy yourself with or upgrade the bike further. If you go for the SL then you will spend more money but get a slightly lighter and faster bike. Paint colours are also something to consider. There is too much choice these days. I hope I wasn’t too late replying to you.
