    Setup questions!

    Hey Ruti, I was able to get a Bontrager Line stem in 60mm, unfortunately the Line Pro isn’t available and Trek isn’t even letting you order them right now. Was able to get the Bontrager Line Pro Carbon bars though that have a 27.5mm rise compared to the stock 15mm rise bars in mine. So hoping...

    Setup questions!

    I appreciate your help guys. I regret not getting in a proper position for those pics now haha. I don’t ride with straight arms. Don’t know how you’d even do that?? Well, seated you could I guess pretty easy. I’m going to put a 60mm stem on and 30mm rise carbon Renthals. Has a 50mm stem now and...

    Setup questions!

    I wasn’t really trying to show a mtb position, rather my size on the bike I guess. I should have gotten in a more riding position. I have dirt bike and motocross experience so I know about bent elbows and all that. That video is very helpful. I’ll be mindful of those points next time I’m out.

    Setup questions!

    Standing. A comfortable neutral position puts me over the front. I have to really concentrate on keeping the weight back.

    Setup questions!

    Hey guys. I’m riding a Trek Rail. Large frame. I’m 6’1” with shorter legs and a longer torso. I feel like I’m too far over the front of the bike. Down hills don’t feel great because my neutral position feels too far forward over the front wheel. I thought a longer stem might help but it...

    New here and new bike

    Hey guys. New here. Bought a Trek Rail 7 yesterday and took it for a ride and so far it’s pretty awesome. New to mountain biking. I have a background in road cycling and racing. I was planning on getting a traditional trail/enduro mtb but really difficult to find right now. I had been casually...
