I have a new Giant Talon 2 (2022) and a BBSHD motor. I have seen many posts of people putting this motor on the Talon 2 (though pre-2022) and other similar Talons. I am finding it is only fitting when hanging straight down. Am I missing something? The diagonal tube extends slightly past the bottom bracket to allow for internal cable routing (and I think I see this in pictures of others who have installed this motor).
This is blocking the motor from being able to rotate up.
Did they maybe make a change in 2022 (though when I looked in the store, the 2021 seemed the same), or am I doing something wrong? I can't rotate it before putting through the bracket as the mounting tab would hit the frame.
@jthoni, I have the exact same problem with my wife's new Trek Dual Sport 2. I'm very nervous hammering the cable opening area to be more flat. It's a new bike and I don't know if if I'll screw something up. What did you end up doing?
