    Fuel EXe Official Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    For the good of the order: I fitted a Wolf Tooth bash ring with a WT 32 ring and I'm really pleased with how the setup turned out (other than there was a mix up with LBS on ring and it was supposed to be SS). Running X01 drivetrain, and this setup moved my chain line a couple mm inboard to...

    I have the Jank Components inline mount and 70cc pump on a Large frame. Lezyne sideloading cage with 26 oz purist bottle (standard shape and size for 26 oz bottle). I shaved away some of underside of the Jank mount and water bottle cage to cant the pump and bottle away from each other at their...

    Fuel EXe Fuel EXe Suspension Modifications/Questions

    Thx for the followup. The tunes likely shouldn't be the same, but I'd be shocked (no pun intended) if they weren't. But maybe someone has some insider knowledge?

    I think the rebound, compression, and check tunes are probably all I need. Really nice to have this in case I decide to pull the trigger. Huge thanks.

    Fuel EXe Fuel EXe Suspension Modifications/Questions

    I ride mine pretty hard at 210 lbs and have been happy with progressive coil on a Hazzard at 62.5. "Coil sag" of about 25% and not having to rely too heavily on HSC. Have tried a linear spring. Definitely no bueno. I didn't like the float X at all and, by sheer luck, the Hazzard I run on...

    I used bolts I had lying around. Can't remember if cleat or water bottle or something else.

    Glad it worked and nice to know. Re reaching a rebound adjuster at the lower end of the shock. Running a hazzard (with progressive coil). Cheap 3mm hex key, dremel, and a dab of gorilla glue let me make a way to quickly adjust rebound a click or two without having to pull the shock. Highly...

    Definitely cool to experiment with stuff like this, but there is a review of the Hope crankset (normal bikes) on MBR that is a good rundown of the some of the counterpoints, which aren't getting much press at the moment. Just because it's a trend doesn't mean its wrong, but we shouldn't just...

    I had some headset creaking I ended up resolving, I think mainly with a cane creek subassembly/compression ring. Although I wasn't overly impressed with the construction of the bearing seats. Just FYI, my notes on bearings from when I dug into it are below. I'd be shocked if you couldn't run...

    Battery not all that much different from a nice shock, fork, pair of brakes, etc. Can run a cable through the wheels, but all these components and more are sitting ducks. Whenever I start worrying about things like this, I remember the wisest thing I've ever heard about bike theft: Pretty much...

    Plastic on mine cracked, but not near that bad. More of a hairline fracture. Thing still intact. E*13 confirms it's cosmetic. At least for the very first EXe's that arrived last Sept/Oct, something weird is going on with the cranks and bolts. I tried to source a replacement because I'm OCD...

    "Strange" is being very kind. I'd argue the chainline is off at 55mm, unless you are running Transition. If you've got a spider, you can space it back to 53mm with chainring spacers and different chainring bolts and see if that helps. You could also try a Wolftooth ring instead of the...

    Fuel EXe TQ Feature Requests

    Am I missing something, or I am right that, when you turn on "extended center button functionality," you can you no longer use the center button to toggle between screens? Which is no big deal because it seems like you'd only need to turn it on if your handlebar remote wasn't working. Just...

    That’s an excellent clarification. I think BikeYoke is one of the very few manufacturers that uses different internals for their 34.9 as opposed to simply a larger tube. Their stuff is really top notch.

    I've got a couple of OneUp's and a BikeYoke Revive. Only complaint about the Revive is that the OneUp's feel great unless I just rode the bike with the Revive. Highly recommend the Revive if you want something choice. Mine is pushing 5 years old and is still silky smooth. The Divine is a...
