Just using the rear 27.5" but so far so good. Haven't taken the freehub off but seems to be a quality product. I'd upgraded my previous bontrager hub to 108 and this sounds pretty similar.

Thanks for the info guys. Think I'm going to go with the Nukeproof Horizon V2 wheels from CRC as the reviews are excellent and getting two wheels is cheaper (£320 shipped to NZ) than rebuilding a rear with a decent rim using my existing hub. Unfortunately they don't sell them as a mullet option...

Hey guys, I'm looking to replace the original 29" rear wheel on my 2020 rail and go 27.5". The original Bontrager hub has micro spline and my question is, if I'm purchasing a new rear wheel am I limited to just getting one with a micro spline hub so I don't need to change cassette (SLX) etc...

I bought mine from universalcycles.com. Sign up for their newsletter and they'll email you discount codes. If you spend over $300, this months code is CamelFlock15. Gives you 15% off. Even with postage to NZ (they're US based) it was still far cheaper than buying it here.

I had to do this recently when installing a new shock. I wrapped the steel pins in a cloth (to prevent scratches) and used pliers to gently pull them out. Worked well.

I've just installed a 2021 Fox X2 (230 x 57.5) on my rail 7 (large). Still dialling it in but it feels great so far.

I haven't found out any more info unfortunately. I think I'll eventually go for the Jade X.

You can also purchase a lockring spacer that will allow you to have a non knock block stem: https://www.trekbikes.com/nz/en_NZ/equipment/cycling-components/bike-headsets/trek-knockblock-headset-lockring-spacer/p/27583/

Thought that may be the case. Thanks though!

Sorry, it's a Large frame.

Looking to upgrade from the standard shock to a coil and interested in the 230x60 Marzocchi Bomber CR coil shock. Just curious to know if anyone has one of these on their Rail - keen to make sure the reservoir wouldn't hit the frame.
