Just about to upgrade my rear end 🙂 on an xtc advanced 27.5 from 135 qr to 142. Found the giant drop outs but not sure on the axle... I believe a DT e-thru will fit like this : http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/dt-swiss-rws-e-thru-alloy/rp-prod123930?gs=1&gclid=COLk8obZp8oCFSfkwgodWbAKGA&gclsrc=aw.ds

Can anybody confirm this will be ok please ? Ta

You need the proper Giant £40 one. I tried to use a DT to save some money and it wouldnt work. Different threads was the issue

The Giant one has a different thread on it so the DT Swiss ones or the Specialized ones wont fit it. Had the same problem and ideas around it when upgrading a Trance. Makes it an expensive upgradeh
Managed to get a discount when ordering the dropouts/mech hanger and axle together from Pedal on
