The Giant Fathom 29 2 (2022) is a trail mountain bike — representative silhouette: Trail hardtail. We have read 2 specification sheets (Giant Bicycles) and recorded 18 fit facts from them. 9 of the 16 measurements a trail mountain bike needs to answer fit questions are on file; 0 are confirmed by two independent sources. Where a measurement is missing, we say so below — we do not guess.
| Front derailleur mount | No front derailleur mount (1x only) |
|---|---|
| Seatpost diameter | 30.9 mm |
| Seatpost shape | Round |
| Dropper-post routing | Internal (stealth) routing |
| Maximum tyre width (frame) | 63.5 mm |
| Wheel size (ISO bead seat) | 700c / 29" (ISO 622) |
| Maximum chainring | 32 t |
| Front axle spacing | Thru-axle, 110 × 15 mm (Boost) |
| Brake actuation | Hydraulic disc |
| Brake pad shape (fitted calipers) | Tektro / TRP 2-piston hydraulic & TRP mechanical (E10.11 pad) |
| Freehub body | Shimano HG, 8/9/10-speed body (also 11/12-speed MTB HG cassettes) |
| Rear speeds | 10 speeds |
| Shift actuation | Mechanical (cable) |
| Chain standard | 10-speed (6.0 mm) |
| Rim internal width | 30 mm |
| Tubeless-ready rims | Tubeless-ready |
| Stem bar-clamp diameter (fitted stem) | 35 mm |
| Handlebar clamp diameter (fitted bar) | 35 mm |
Confidence: every fact above comes from a single cited source — "derived" on our lattice; none is verified by a second independent publisher yet. A verdict that rests on a safety-critical fact therefore stops at "unknown" rather than "fits".
Not on file (required for a trail mountain bike): Bottom bracket shell · Derailleur hanger · Rear axle spacing · Brake mount, front · Brake mount, rear · Rotor interface (hubs) · Pedal thread. The sheets we read do not state them; until a source does, confirm these measurements before choosing a part that depends on them.
- Why do so many verdicts on this bike read "unknown"?
- Because a verdict needs the bike's measurement for every dimension a part requires, and 7 of the 16 required measurements are not on file. "Unknown" means we could not check — not that it fits, and not that it does not.
- Will the verdicts change?
- Yes. When a second independent source confirms a measurement — or a first one states a missing one — the verdicts are recomputed from the new facts. Nothing on this page is typed by hand.
