Nick would be great to finish with a wide angle shot of the entire bike. Love it all the same. Always intrigued at how the fork does not drop free. Great Stuff
Lovely bike, love the clean lines of the TCR frame, just wondered why the Canyon stem/bar set up? It appears to not blend in, is that because it’s stacked up quite high rather than slammed?
Nice spec, I have a 2020 TCR Advanced SL in Blue that is the twin of my 2020 Propel Advanced pro 1 disc and I swapped out the Sram Force for Ultegra di2. Interesting to see how you’ve routed the di2 cable out with the rear brake hose from the frame exit hole rather than using the top tube underside bung like Giant does.I’ve the idea of the cables being together for tidiness but feel the heat shrink looks too bulky for me personally. Good build though. Same colour as the 2020 Enviliv with SRAM my friend has. Looks awesome in the sunlight
Thanks John, this cable route is what the owner prefers, I have seen people route di2 cable comes out of toptube and you would seen 3 cables (di2 and 2 brake cables) instead of 2 cables using heat shrink. 👍
Great video! Thanks! I've just finished setting my bike with the same 9170 di2 but the junction box button is not working. :( Double-clicking the button doesn't change the shifting mode. I can check it's in M mode. Do you have any clue?
Did you explore changing out the coned headset cap and round spacers for aero versions to make the transition to the stem more seamless and visually appealing? I am not even sure it's possible?... I have this same bike and I personally find the round spacers somewhat ugly. Thanks.
ISP (Integrated seatpost) builds are really rare these days as the fad has long gone since middle of last decade in favor of the traditional seatpost. Nice video highlight of your methodical build of the TCR. A full bike shot to cap it off would have been 10/10 for your video. Nevertheless, I am impressed to say the least.
Thanks mate. Yes it's a love hate relationship with the isp maily hate haha I somehow lost the footage of the last full bike shot you wouldn't believe. But yeah thanks for commenting mate
@@thedropcycling I have an Eddy Merckx EMX-7 ISP that uses the FSA K-Wing mount which is a bloody pain in the posterior to dislodge without a mallet. Keep up the good work!
Yes the canyon bars has this little clip, design to use the 3 port junction box, easy enough to clip in and out of the bars and at the same time makes it looks neat
@@thedropcycling True but compared to the tarmac and emonda's, this looks outdated. Even factor are starting to hide the cables when they were against it not that long ago.
Dream build??? Standard $40 shimano BB. Ultegra rotors. Ultegra cassette. Mismatch bars. Cable routing wasn’t all that clean in my opinion. And alloy rail saddle who’s dream is this?
@@marcuscheung5025 yeah correct, the owner bought it brand new front the shop, half price of 2021 model, so to me, that's a win. Performance wise, not much improvement
@@thedropcycling Hey Nick, hope you're well and really enjoyed watching some of your other videos. What would you think of one of these exact frames with SRAM Rival AXS and Zipp 303s wheels? I saw you were saying in one of your videos that the ISP is a firmer ride than the Advanced Pro (really would like a more comfy one). Would be great to have the frame set only available for the TCR Pro 2021, but they don't sell it in Oz. Also, for 187cm tall would you say to go M/L in size which is the top end of their recommended size chart? Concerned that I feel stretched on a Large Defy so maybe downsizing is better, but then concerned that the drop between the saddle and the front end is too big. Lots of questions, I know. Thanks

yes you won't believe it, I actually lost that last bit of footage, it is a must everytime I finish filming a bike build
The musician, the camera man,
And the Master!
Wooowwwww

Would be interesting to see you do a Campy 10 or 11 speed build.
🙃 on the list
Nice work mate. Very elegant looking build skills. You didn't swear once. I swear a lot when building a. bike!
Bahhahahaha😄 can you please stop doing that. Just let me do it
Beautiful build. Love watching all the little tricks of the trade in the details. Well done👌
👊
interesting build. TCR with an integrated Canyon Aero handlebar, but I still like it.
🤗👊

OD2
The owner likes the one piece look and setup, and canyon and giant both use oversize steer😄
@@thedropcycling nice build, what mount did you use on the cockpit set up please?
@@simonhogan2043 hi Simon, you can find it on Ebay it's from Japan I think, search ' Canyon handlebars mount' you will be able to find it. Not cheap
@@thedropcycling thanks, keep posting builds 👌
What’s the official color of that green frame? It’s gorgeous...😍
Giant calls it ' Chameleon Saturn'
Beautiful! Love watching your bike builds. The dancing and personality touches are hilariously awesome! 😁👍🏼

All that great Dura Ace Parts and Ultegra rotors? =(
Yep good point😅👌
Such a satisfying video
Did you use the giant fork expander plug and drill out the canyon top cap for the larger diameter bolt?
Great video! Thanks! I've just finished setting my bike with the same 9170 di2 but the junction box button is not working. :( Double-clicking the button doesn't change the shifting mode. I can check it's in M mode. Do you have any clue?
Sounds like a faulty unit
Great video and build as per usual mate
Thanks maaate👌👊
Gorgeous color.
I personally would have used the bar stem combo from giant’s in house brand Contact SLR keeping the build OEM.
Beautiful! Great work :)
Any specific reason of using ultegra cassette and rotors over Dura Ace?
hi, the owner at the time didn't have a set of wheels to put on. so the whole wheels are actually borrowed from a friend
Did you explore changing out the coned headset cap and round spacers for aero versions to make the transition to the stem more seamless and visually appealing? I am not even sure it's possible?...
I have this same bike and I personally find the round spacers somewhat ugly. Thanks.
I agree, the new tcr has a more aero spacers
@@thedropcycling did you ever try or look into upgrading to aero spacers?
@Frank D I haven't. The round spacers didn't bother me haha
GIANT TCR😍😍
Meh

What steerer compression plug is this? I changed the original one it came
Stock with and all the plugs I’ve used slip up except the FSA one.
Profesional and clean 👍
Hey. What is it you spray on the fork steerer before you file the rough bits down?
Good question, you can use any, it's too stop carbon powder get into your lungs😅👊
What kind of saddle is that I like too” specialized
weird that the frame doesn't have a port on the downtube for the Di2 junction. maybe only 2021 models have that.
Hi! Do you happen to know the tires clearance for the 2020 giant TCR?
@@bennysio590 28mm
Very nice!!
Thanks mate👊
0:23 nice shoot
Do you have to drop the Junction Box every time you want to charge the battery?
Yes the canyon bars has this little clip, design to use the 3 port junction box, easy enough to clip in and out of the bars and at the same time makes it looks neat
Fair enough, nice and protected from the incidental drive side drop, better than the 910
@@kennethstreet7868 exactly right
Is it not compatible with the 5 port junction?
It is. It sits flash with 3 port, 5 port may see a tiny bit under the stem
Those cables at the front looks out of place when you got an integrated aero bar and stem.
same as all the canyon bikes
@@thedropcycling True but compared to the tarmac and emonda's, this looks outdated. Even factor are starting to hide the cables when they were against it not that long ago.
I agree. This is 2020 TCR, even the new generation 2021 TCR SL cables are still not integrated. A bit disappointed for sure
@@thedropcycling 2021 version is even worse going into the top of the down tube.
clean look, love it
Thanks
How come the canyon cockpit fits on the giant fork? Isn't it an Overdrive 2 steerer with a different diameter?
Fits well👌🙃
Both brands use that steerer standard
What seat is that? Is it good?
Hi I want to put my H31 Canyon Ergocockpit on my Giant TCR 2021 frameset- will this be possible?
Yes mate
why giant bothered to change their seat post(and still ugly) yet not their cable exposed cockpit. this is the year of fully internal cabling already.
How much mold?
Ur build the bike for sale again or....
built for a friend
Time to slap my alloy tcr with a dura ace groupie now:D
Do it
wow TCR❤️
Tcr rules👌
Giant is the best
Yessssssss
identica alla mia!!
Indian price?
that Im not sure
I feel pain watching a stacked canyon bar. Not one but three :(
Haha you are too pro👌

Too many wire chasing and not enough gear clicking,sweet bike though!
Giant has its own buitiful integrated Contact SLR handlebar. I don't understand why install such a scary-ugly Canyon handlebar ((
