New front wheel , new tyre , new front rotor .

My Trek came with Sun Ringle Duroc 35mm - the rear wore out after approx 4000kms- wet , muddy - Hub failed - poor maintenance prob too. So i replaced with a DT350 - M542 35mm rim and DT heavy spokes - All Good ! Rolls fast , is till round , no pings , creaks or otherwise Couldn't obtain...

Tyres n sticks .... Possibly worn out - Hans Dampf compared to Nobby Nic sorry , all unrelated to chains n cassettes - but we love pics !

so , sticks are bad - okay , deraillieur , speed sensor , chains - oh 3 spokes in the last 100 km ....

Here’s my take after 4000km - bit over but only maybe 200 km trek fs7 - delivered with xt shifters n derailler - 1300 km got a stick chain mangled - broke the rear mech ......1700km new chain dura race and xt derailleur. replaced with sun race M8 10-46 , still going strong . Wear is minimal...

2018 Powerfly fs7 just over 4000km - don’t ask the screen no longer works ...........Its 2 years old to the day ! just got a new rear wheel / hub rim - old one wore out . No problems - only the self inflicted ones From the ground magnets ?

Hahaha , yes , sit on the handlebars ! no , the Bosch rings are offset to counter the boost chain line - I think the haibike don’t run a offset ring . Although in your message you said you put a spacer ring in ? Admittedly I ve only ever run the xt durarace chains - I have just bought a kms ...

Raaaaahhh , dunno how this got here ... was unexpected !

Without sounding like a nut , can you put it on backwards , upside down or backwards ... ? I had the same issue , but my front cog was raised on one side Offset is probably the best word . replacement cogs - not Bosch branded are flat .

Im in two minds - The Trek has been fantastic ! Would change some components - forks - upgrade to 36 ( i have had these rebuilt and can't really fault them to be fair ) i don't need more than 130-140mm of travel - but always nice to have . Brakes maybe go to 4 piston - but again cannot fault the...

FS 7 just under or over 4000km - the screen has failed ....that’s another story ! it gets ridden hard in all weathers , and I’m robust - not abused , serviced and cleaned \ lubed after each adventure . im not upset , it’s been getting worse for a while , so good time to upgrade !

My Powerfully is in Bike Hospital at present - Rear hub - worn out - bearings are a wacky size - " no parts avail " Sooooo, I've got a DT 350 and new spokes being fitted ! Happy Days

Some Super Pics , here's my contribution. Its winter on this side of the Corona - Globe , So out n about is round home - been doing Gravel Riding . I'm lucky i live in the country away from the city and can work from home .

Trek FS7 - 2018 model Cant complain , Im heavy , 100kg , ride fairly hard , but not a jumper as I'm am old, and it hurts - see list below Chains on 3rd , 2nd rear cassette - now using Sunrace with Durarace chain Pads last approx 400-600kms Shocks rebuilt once - have parts to do again Grips 2nd...
