Unlucky

Unlucky

I know. Still not managed to find them. I just seemed to keep riding, as the gears fell aswell, heard a clunk then that was it
So be careful, if you hear a clunk and get a funny feeling from your pedals, like you cant stop peddling, you may well have lost your gears!

That didn't happen but I got another puncture in my back tyre. What is it? I get one puncture after a lot riding then the next one happens within a week.

upgrade the tyres.

upgrade the tyres.

Tis expensive

Tis expensive

continental ultra gator skins - 20 quid each, so not too bad to be honest. If you think thats expensive, try getting michelin pro race 3's at rrp of 35 each

If it happens again soon to my back tyre I'll probably end up getting a new tyre, but this could just be coincidence.

Oh and thanks, it's my first road bike and I love it.

I have the 2008 model - tyres were fine until they wore out. Just had to replace the wheels after nearly 3000 miles tho' as kept breaking spokes and rims were worn out.

Glad you took the wheel reflectors off - mine came off with an almighty crack on a fast descent after a few weeks, Made me nearly fill my pants and chipped loads of paint off the back of the forks.

Watch for the cables ribbing on the paint work. My rear brake cable has worn the paint through to the alluminium through constant rubbing.

 

[aJohnson]

Found a crack on part of the frame near the back wheel gears, need I be worried?

 

[BorderCollieSam]

If it really is a crack then yeah i'd be worried and i certainly wouldn't go riding it like it, i've seen some very nasty accidents caused by frame failure.....and one was a Trek.

However, Trek warranty is one of the best, they warrant the frame for life, get onto your dealer, you may even get this years model 2010 as a replacement

 

[aJohnson]

Yeah I'll ring them up tomorrow and bring the bike in for a check. Thanks.

 

[aJohnson]

After closer inspection I think it may just be a crack in the paintwork.
