I have exactly the same issue. So you’re not alone. I also got them as soon as they went on sale, so maybe it is a first batch problem. Apart from that: amazing tires. But they’re a pain to get on...

First problem: just make a testride. Whether you are comfortable on a certain bike is very dependent on the flexibility of your body and how used you are to riding in a low position. The TCR has a...

I can't say much about the Agree, but I have a TCR and I'm very happy with the quality of the frame. Giant makes their own frames and it shows: even after 2 years I never experienced any bottom...

No, I didn't win but I guess I finished somewhere between 10th and 15th. I hope I'll receive the final results this week. My guess is that there were around 80 people competing.

It's hard to win...

The 3 and 6 speed have a 13t low sprocket. The 2 speed has a 12t low sprocket. I thought your question was about the 2 speed, but you might have just meant 2 speed as in '2 cogs'. :)
