Giant Toughroad conversion to TSDZ2, bottom brackets pics

 Tongsheng TSDZ2 conversion on Giant Toughroad

Check out B. Balcanquall build. Looks nice and sturdy. 

"Looked like this before I started. Then brake lines fitted between motor and BB." - B. Balcanquall

"Here's the prep I did, removed the front derailer and cable stops. Hydraulic lines pushed out of the way, no need to disconnect." - B. Balcanquall 

That's a good thing about hydralic lines, they dont need tensions like a cable wire do. You can just put them aside.

Some bike models can be a bit tricky to convert. Check out this other Giant Escape 2 model which has a diffrent design from the Toughroad.

"Cannondale Trail 7. I removed the cable guide since he didn't need the front derailleur. After some wiggling, I was able to get it on without having to shave anything or take the cover off. I was not able to mount the anti-rotation bracket, but it seems the downtube conduit for the cables kinda creates its own anti-rotation bracket. Hopefully, that will suffice." - T. Okimoto

From Giants homepage about the Toughroad model: "FLY THROUGH CITY STREETS, UP A MOUNTAIN, DOWN A RUGGED DIRT PATH. ALL ON ONE RIDE, ALL ON ONE QUICK AND CAPABLE MACHINE."

This is how the original 2016 Toughroad SLR 1 looks.
