So I got a 2018 Giant Anthem 2 in late July. I love the bike. I had a soft rear brake and while checking pads/specs I noticed the brakes are Shimano M615 and not the Deore M8000 brakes indicated on the specs on Giant's website. I called the shop where I bought the bike and was told that manufacturers change components/specs all the time without notice. Is that true? Obviously, I'd love to have the better brakes if there is a realistic chance Giant would cough them up.
