trek

If I was to go touring with my bike, how can I convert it to a touring bike, since realistically I won't buy a new touring bike?

On the hunt for a nice hybrid as near mint as I can find one the one that seems to be coming top is the discontinued Gary Fisher edition trek dual sport 8.6 any other recommendations I’ll gladly look at but I’ve done a lot of research whyte C7 is a close second

About to decide on a Condor build as per one of my other threads but a few months ago when I was originally looking at a new bike I liked the Emondas as an off the peg Carbon bike. I have the chance of one an SL6. Anyone have one and thoughts as a year round bike, also I am 5ft 10” and looking...

trek VS rockrider (btwin) which one to buy and why ? i need advice to choose long time no bike available or my size out of stock

Hi, anyone put both bar ends and a bar end (Mirrycle) mirror on a Trek FX 3 or any Trek with a Isozone grips? I just bought and installed the Mirrycle mirror with the Isozone adapter on my bike while I wait for the bar ends to arrive at the store. But I just watched a video about installing the...

I appear to be on a bit of a roll with old Treks at the moment. I found this at the same place I got the Trek road bike. It was in a bit of a state but I figured I could do a decent restoration. Cost was £12 this time as the guy said it had both wheels. I’m going to find a rigid fork to...

Sorry I didn't have the forethought to to take some before pics but this is the end result. I saw the bike abandoned beneath s heap of others at a local cycle dealer/repairer. All there except for the rear wheel. The guy wanted 60cedis (about £7.50) for it. After pulling all the other bikes off...

Hello folks, I am still on the hunt for a road bike. Now instead of comparing Trek ALR5 with Trek SL5 I want to consider between Trek ALR5 and CAAD13 since both have disc frame. am I doing the right choice? or the TRek SL5 still a good option than the ALR5 & CAAD13...

Trek Domane 2.0 C, 52cm, Tiagra 20 speed Groupset. Very nice tidy frame with just very minor paint blemishes here and there, although there is a chip on the drive side seat stay (pictured). Full Tiagra 20 speed groupset which has a few marks but nothing to detract from the overall appearance...

I have a 2009 Trek 7.3 FX. It is in great condition so I reluctant to sell it. The issue is that I have converted it to a sort of tourer (rack, full mudguards etc.) for light touring (one man tent, one tail pack and 2 rear panniers only). It is fine as it is apart from I'd like it to have disc...

I am looking for some new brake pads for my Trek 8500 (2009). I have looked on the caliper for some type / part numbers and cannot see any. The Trek archive is no use as it just lists the brakeset as Deore XT Ti. I have bought some of the correct pads a few years back, but I cannot remember...

Hi all, Wondering if you could help me please. I picked up a Tacx Neo 2 but I'm having difficulty getting my Trek Boone RSL 2017 Cyclocross bike to fit on the trainer. Seems as though the skewers are not long/wide enough. Can anyone confirm if this bike should fit on the trainer please?

I have a 2017 Trek Domane S5 with a very creaky bottom bracket. What in the forums opinion would be a suitable replacement?

Hi All a quick question on Trek MTB sizing. I'm 5"5 and looking through the website it looks like both Small and Medium frames would suit. Unfortunatly with the current restrictions i'm unable to go and try but my desire to purchase is getting stronger. I was wondering whether anyone else of...

For someone who’s not a big fan, I’ve watched an awful lot of Star Trek. Not sure I have a favourite… Quark from DS9 would be on my list of those who are fun to watch, which makes sense, as he was cast as comic relief. I also liked Michael on Discovery, though lost interest in the series...

My pick: Deanna Troi, famed counsellor to the stars, never struck me as having any real empathic skills. I’m calling BS on her at long last.

This Trek 400 Elance will make a nice stablemate to the 1985 600 series Trek I already have. Both are butted 531 on the mauin tubes, with Cr-Mo forks and rear triangle, all made in the Waterloo Wisconsin factory. Some Treks of this period had the rear triangle made in Japan, but they have a dart...

Possible N+1 The Fragrant MrsP and I are cycling to Paris in September along the Avenue Verte and I’m considering the matter of buying a new bike for the journey and others yet to come. The Cinelli has caught my eye , about 750 quid from Spa. And I’m also rather taken by this Trek 520...

I know they are a foreign team, and are unlikely to win as they haven't spent billions buying up any half decent rider, but I think I'm changing my allegance to Trek Segafredo: Recycled Jerseys Just hope Ineos get sabotaged by some very annoyed aquatic life.

This Ebay ad struck me as very dodgy...

Selling my Trek with a £1000 of upgrades included. Brilliant fun E-bike with bosch 500w battery - motor. Comes with new forks "air" to replace the horrible original heavy coil lumps. New mavic elite wheels, light and wide. New tubeless tyres plus spare tyres 11 speed XT-SLX mix upgrade. Old...

Trex Alpha 1000 road bike that would be an ideal winter or commuting bike . Alloy frame and steel forks so comfortable ride . Not bad condition in all fairness some age related mark's but nothing drastic . Some damage to rear rim but doesn't effect performance of brakes . 3x8 Sora gearing...

My Trek Emonda was stolen recently and I want a replacement. The Boardman range seems to offer vg vfm. Is there any reason not to buy the SLR9.6 Disc.? I do not like the prominent branding but that is my only negative point. All thoughts re post purchase modification welcome.

Can someone ID year for this Trek bike and model please?

Apologies if this has been covered but I did not find what I was looking for via a Google search and I'm new so apologies if this in the wrong section. After a maiden ride on my (new to me) second hand Trek Alpha 2.3, I had a quick look at the tyres and could see signs of potential previous...

Another bike for sale to thin out the fleet and make more space. Made in USA Trek Multitrack 730 19" seat tube c-t,21" top tube c-c. True Temper OX cro-moly. Currently with Sora 9-speed X 2 gearset and LX cant brakes. Rack,bar bag and panniers not included although can add the rack for a bit...

My forks have started to make a sucking sound on rebound. I assume that the seals have started to leak a bit. There is no oil on the stanchions though. I expect that they need new seals and oil. Trouble is, I am having trouble trying to locate the correct service kit as I do not know the exact...

Once my arm starts working a bit better, it will be time to do the final tweaks to this, the only even half-decent bike I've owned from new. Simplest bit is to swap the tyres for tanwall versions. The black ones will swap onto the Claud Butler. Next, do some bar and stem swapping, which will...
