REVIVE Owners - check your rear cassette
according to the Giant literature on the Revive (the red one with 8spd's) the rear sprockets set is supposed to be
Shimano 11-32T 8-speed
however I've just checked mine to see if an 11/34 could be fit and found my largest sprocket to be 26 teeth.
Since Giant's website contains absolutely no contact info, my dealer will be hearing about this tomorrow.

I didn't actually count because I changed the chains on both (we have two) bikes to Sram. I bought three chains and it seems that I ended up somewhere around one and one third standard length chains on each bike.

ok - got an SRAM 11x32 cassette mounted and a C201 MegaRange derailluer, bought SRAM PC58 chain.
Did you change the drop out that the derailuer mounts on - my derailleur is down so far it hits the sidewall of the tire in low gear (big sprocket).
If you have digital pics and can email them to me send to ejhamil@aol.com
Thanks
