I have never heard a good thing about the Conduct brakes. Or did you mean All Giant bikes, in general, had more failures.

Not arguing what you say, just seeking clarification. If it was all Giants, what was going so wrong?

(Never owned a Giant, just did research because they were in the running for an N+1 ... nearly bought @PeteHski 's Defy ...... Also looked at a Fastroad and (I think) an Allroad, which was sort of a gravel bike back then. Seemed like good stuff, but went with a Fuji instead.

Yes the Hy/Rd are TRP but I think TRP also made the Giant brakes.

All Giant bikes especially their lower end bikes had more problems then similarly spec'd bikes from other manufacturers. Plus their proprietary stuff is ridiculous, seat posts but racks were proprietary mounting back in the day and their rack didn't look great.
