    Fuel EXe Official Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    I have the issue. There is no play you can feel with your hand, but if I compress the shock a bunch of times and then apply side pressure on the shock/piggyback there is a "knack/creak" sound coming out from it. I torqed the top bolts to 17 and the lower bolt to 15 and it still happens

    Fuel EXe Official Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    Hey guys Whats the verdict about the creaking bushings for the Fox Float X shock? Should I order from Offsetbushings.com | The Finest MTB Shock Bushings or the Fox ones? Which are better quality? Does it even matter?

    Fuel EXe Fuel Exe sizing dillema

    Just wanted to post an update that I ended up getting the Medium after trying both several times. For me it feels like the perfect size. The moment I sat on the Medium I knew this is the size for me. I've installed the 190mm dropper post and will probably increase the travel all the way to 200...

    Zeb Dual Position

    How are you liking the fork so far? I ordered one by mistake thinking if I should return it or not since I don't need the dual position feature

    I always have that problem with medium frames, thats why I have a OneUp dropper post that I keep with 190 travel that I can adjust according to the buy. How does the medium feel for you? I personally prefer shorter more responsive bikes vs long freight trains.

    Fuel EXe Fuel Exe sizing dillema

    Hey guys I'm 1.78m, which according to Trek puts me on the L. I did a quick ride at the shop on the size L and it certainly feels much longer than all my other bikes. The guys at the shop claim that I'm definitely a L, but I'm worried it will be like that one time I bought a Large Transition...

    Levo Gen 2 Update to Levo Gen3 from Gen2 now or wait another year for Gen4?

    Hey guys I have a Gen2 now, and honestly I'm quite happy with it. I was considering to replace it for Gen3 our of the fear that it will lose too much value once the warranty expires (there is 1 more year left). However seeing how 2nd hand bike prices are dropping quite significantly at our local...

    22 Gen 3 Levo - The cleaned posts.

    Looks awesome. Will get the Comp version in a year when its released and better priced. For now my 2020 Comp will do the job

    Levo Gen 2 Monarch on Levo 2020 with Megneg developed slight inner play

    It was serviced by rockshox warranty. Apparently its a common issue in 2019 models with some internal bolt getting loose inside.

    Levo Gen 2 Monarch on Levo 2020 with Megneg developed slight inner play

    Hey The rear shock on my levo developed a slight play. If I pull the bike upward by top tube I can feel a slight play in the shock with my fingers. Like 1mm movement. This is definitely not bushings because its coming from inside the shock. It started few weeks ago, at first I thought my headset...

    Levo Gen 2 Shock Upgrade 2020 Comp - Coil/Air? ...Light Rider

    I weight about the same as you and I've tried both coil shock (Fox DHX2) and rockshox with megneg. For me the air shock feels much better, it gives more progressive feel to the bike and makes more poppy and playful. You need to decide if you want a tank that rolls over everything (coil shock) or...

    Levo Gen 2 Anyone gone from a coil shock back to air shock on the Levo?

    So I've had DHX2 on my Levo for about 2-3 months and had some mixed feelings about it. Unfortunately the eyelet on the DHX2 cracked and I went back to the original shock. After playing with the settings abit I must say I like the responsiveness of the air shock better than the coil shock. Sure...

    Best wheels for aggressive eMTB riding?

    dt hx1501 are great, highly recommended. install cushcore on the rear for extra protection

    I was aware of ebike hate / jealousy but I thought opinions were changing

    Why do you care so much what others think about ebikes? Especially some people you don't even know on the internet. I dont understand why ebikers have the need to tell everybody how much fun they are having. The whole thing starts sounding like an advertisement. I don't know how it works in...
