Giant Propel 2023

Don't know, maybe details about usage of recommended grease or paste at speicific locations of the bike ( seat post comes to mind - so in doubt I'll just paste it up)
May be different from orther manufacturers.


Then the cable guide at the fork - there's a sheet that describes how to install it but not how to actually use it.

And there are also other bits and pieces supplied with the frameset that kind of confused me. Like a plastic strip. And the di2 battery holder wasn't too obvious either...

EXS Aeroover installed:

Did you install handlebar yourself, what about cable routing?

I am taking my time with my build, I am close to finishing, just waiting for some Ti bolts to lighten the build keeping true to the weight weenie mentality, but here is a pic of my bar and stem set up, total mish mash from three different manufacturers, compression spacer is Bigrock, spacer is Vyce HB05, bar is Lexon. I am 100% happy with the setup as it is clean as green.......
I have to say the D steerer shim makes a difference on flex, no matter what 31.8mm ROUND stem you use please use a shim! It should save you heartache in the future.

Is it Lexon vero you use?

LBS did it. They said it was not anything more complicated than other integrated bars.

Looking clean! Where did you get the D spacer?

My fork is probably being warrantied right now and the headset bearing cup on the frame had to be reworked to properly fit the bearing. Expected a bit more by giant QC.

At least for frames only, giant should supply the D spacer in the box.

[Eterna7m]

just to make sure - is that a fact or your expectation?

Expectation. Sorry.

Edited even: more of a wish

Supplied by EXS with handlebar, including top transition spacer. Giant does not provide it, nor approves such solution. Original alu stem is not perfect also, it scuffs the fork when recommended torque is applied.

Yes, EXS Aerover looks very clean, I am happy with end result!

Does anybody have any suggestions for lower stack stem/headset options. I'd like another ~5mm taken out but the giant cable routing top spacer is there.

I found this on instagram, it seems to be a combined dustcover and cable router.
See picture 2 for end result.

Nice setup!
Where did you get the shim? Where did you get that spacer? Which Lexon bar is it?
