I'm thinking about changing the wheels out too but haven't decided on what i want. DI2 is definitely on the list. the color is definitely amazing. i was almost starstruck when i first saw it in person.
I just bought one. Jaye the white because it gets dirty way to fast. I'm loving the grip tape on yours. Can you tell me where I can find that exact tape? Is it cushioned well?
Awesome color I must say! :D I'm debating whether to get the Defy advance pro 2 for $2800 (Canadian dollars) or the advance 1 for $2000. I have slightly smaller hands and from what I've heard/read, hydraulic levers are slighly longer compared to mechanical ultegra. Can you adjust the lever reach on the hydraulic lever? also how's the hydraulic brake holding up and how easy is it to bleed if you've done it? Thank you
The ultegra on the bike is still all mechanical. i haven't bleed the system as of yet. I'd definitely would suggest going to the bile shop so you can get a feel for the levers.
Hi I recently got one defy advanced pro 2 and although I love the bike I found mine to have been very poorly painted. Today when cleaning the bike a small piece of paint close to the rear quick release came out leaving the frame completely exposed. The paint in the fork is completely different from the rest of the bike and feels very cheap in comparison. How is yours in this regard? And do you think I should go back to the store because of the chipped paint? Thanks!
Mine has been holding up real well as far as paint goes. i would definitely take it it back to the shop to bring it to their attention,, a bike of this price range in my opinion shouldn't have paint issues unless caused by riding it on roads. Did you buy it at Giant?
+Victor Sandoval I bought it from giant Toronto. As you said a bike in this price range shouldn't have issues like this. I already sent them an email and I'll be dropping by this week and see what's going to happen. Thank you for the reply!
I love mine. The blue on this bike is amazing. I changed the wheels out to mavics all road and upgraded to di2.

Zevlin Big 40 bar tape. It's cushioned well. Give it a try, go support your local bike shop. Good luck.
Will do!

Nice! Are you going to film it?

Hi Victor, any issues with having quick release and disc breaks? Any issues getting disc realigned if you remove a wheel? thanks
Gavin Jones not with the disc itself. Had to reset the brake pads at times after removing the wheel. That's about it. Hope that helps!
thanks Victor, are you still happy with the bike?
Gavin Jones I couldn't be happier. Money well spent.
I regret selling this bike.
