Best praise vs top criticism for Giant Defy Advanced Pro 2
“Giant Defy Advanced will take 38mm tyres. That's an endurance road frame. If you need more clearance then the Revolt can do double duty. Have a spare wheelset - I ran 28mm GP5000s on the road wheels and 38mm GravelKing SK on the gravel wheels. Until this model year the two bikes were identical at the front end geometry wise.”
“I think the last year the Defy 2 had rim brakes was 2015. It’s overpriced by about £150”
