    Whether to mullet my Rail or not.

    I was told by someone else that it cuts out very slightly quicker. I'm not familiar with changing via the software and I have a Speedbox 3 so I don't worry about the limit anyway. Hope this helps

    If they're both the same brand maybe whip off the cassette and change them round. However yes not changing gears should do it. Would definitely need to take the sensor or the rotor off and switch it to the 27.5

    Whether to mullet my Rail or not.

    I'm running the Rail as a Mullet and I like it a lot. It does turn the bike into more of a shuttle bike as in for a relatively mellow ride the 29er is probably faster and slightly more natural feeling. Saying that I feel at home on the bike on downhills and I'm more of a down hiller so happy to...

    Rail Mullet

    I've done it and I'm riding with this set up. It works great.

    I got frustrated with this design. I show how to fix it here if it helps:

    170mm Fork travel. Anyone increased their forks on the Trek Rail ???

    Yea perhaps volume spacers. I don't want them to be too stiff but I don't want them to just flop on me when I need them. Its a fine balance

    170mm Fork travel. Anyone increased their forks on the Trek Rail ???

    Good to know. I read they don't like some mods but seems this one will be fine

    Tires / what's everyone rolling with?

    Eddy Current 2.4 at the front. Kept the standard Bontrager on rear until I destroy them (got 2 now)

    170mm Fork travel. Anyone increased their forks on the Trek Rail ???

    I know Trek says this voids the warranty but I'm an aggressive rider downhill and felt the forks diving a lot. I will order the new debonair spring that is supposed to work better but at the same time really contemplating bumping up the travel to 170mm. Anyone done this on the Rail? Keen to find...

    Tools needed

    Dunno but a torx 40 bit will help with the motor housing bolts

    Rail 9.8 XT or GX - 600gr difference?

    Hi dude I bought the 9.8 GX and I really quite like the shimano slx brakes and I can't fault the 12speed sram drivetrain yet. Of course these bikes are a bit bulky but honestly set it up tubeless and swap out a few bolts for ti and that weight difference will be nothing. I was feeling awkward...

    Commuting with a 160mm Enduro

    All I'm saying is that I ride the hell out of the thing on the weekends. Maybe riding midweek to and fro from work ain't the best idea. It's bound to wear out quicker no?

    Loving these slick tyred commuter set ups. Very urban and nice styling

    Commuting with a 160mm Enduro

    I get ya bud but my beloved ebike is not commuter I've decided. If there was a little bit of sick downhill along the way that would be different but it's very flat and a lot of RD. Motorbike rain cover and a big lock already at work would be a must!
