Gearing changes - 2018 TCR Advanced SL 0 Red etap.

[id76060]

I've just ordered a 2018 Giant TCR Advanced SL 0 with scram red etap. Can anyone tell me if they have fitted 50/34 chainrings and or a larger that 28 tooth cassette.

SRAM advise you need a mid-cage derailleur for the 11-32 cassette to work.

This bike is fitted with a short-cage.

11-30t might work with the current r/d, but it's not official https://weightweenies.starbike.com/foru ... p?t=138134

The 52/36 can be swapped for 50/34

Thanks for the advice. Would riders buy genuine sram red chainrings or would they get quality aftermarket fitment.
Thanks again in advance.

I imagine you'd stick with SRAM but the weight weenies people may be better equipped to advise...
