    2021 9.8XT Spare Battery Part Numbers and Places to Buy?

    I'm doing a 200 mile ride in May and am thinking if I get an identical second battery I can charge one while I ride the other. I see my 625Wh battery is vertical and has part number 0275007546. Does anyone have a listing of parts needed to complete the entire build of a spare and pricing. Best...

    Trek Rail Coil Shock Spring Rate vs Total Rider Weight

    Guys, I'm about to go to a DHX2. My total riding weight with kit is ~210lbs. It looks like the ideal spring rate would be 450 based on the calculators. If you are running a coil shock, can you post your total rider weight and spring rate you are using? I'm going to go with the DHX2 230x65 and...

    Shimano LinkGlide Parts Anywhere yet?

    Wondering if anyone has managed to snag linkglide parts yet? I just got 300 miles out of my latest M8100 XT cassette and want to try something new. I've gone through three or four cassettes now in about 6 months, switching back and forward between Shimano 10-51 and 10-45. Hence the interest in...

    KMC e12 Turbo Chain and Shimano

    Anyone have any experience with the e12 chain and the Shimano XT 12 speed setup? I'm going through M8100 chains at a fast rate and am having a hard time ordering new ones since everything is hard to come by. FYI, I'm not stretching the M8100's, just snapping them. Usually on steep technical...

    Rail 9.8XT Derailleur Part Number?

    I'm looking to buy a spare hanger for my Rail 9.8XT. I see Trek has part number W583423, but it says universal made by SRAM. I'm assuming I need something different for the XT version? Anyone have the correct part number available for the 9.8XT hanger? I usually have a spare hanger in case...

    Charge Port Cover Issues

    Has anyone else had a problem with the charge port door? I unplugged the charger yesterday and the flapper is now stuck open. Looks like the spring has slipped and is now pushing against the door closing. What a shit design. There's enough slop in the plastic hinge to let the tiny spring slip...

    Anyone Using Spacers to Fit a 36T Chainring

    I love my rail 9.8XT but the one design flaw that pisses me off is how close the chain stay is to the stock 34T chainring. I know that the chain line is important but how much out of line can you go before it becomes a big deal? My bike is simply geared too low for the fast a flowly trails. I'm...

    Chain slip with Shimano XT 12 speed in top gear

    So bike has about 300 miles on it and I'm starting to experience significant chain slip in top gear. It's only happening in turbo mode. It's not changing gear, it's slipping teeth in top gear only under heavy torque. I just double checked the b screw and its perfect. The alignment of the...

    Zeb Select + 160mm Mixed Bag

    I have a 2021 Rail 9.8XT that came with the Zeb 160mm Select +. I've been trying to tune this mofo for a month now with mixed success. I still have constant wrist pain during/after long rides. I'm 200 lbs with gear. My shockwiz matches my sag with comp ratio 2.7 using two spacer tokens. I get...

    Bosch Gen4 Error code 603

    bontrager elite dropper post shims now available

    Just a heads up that if you have a bontrager dropper post that's slightly too long you can insert a 10mm or 30mm shim (just like the idea behind the one up posts). I've read that you can't insert more than one shim at a time but you could shave down material from the 30mm to suit. After I...

    Super Delux Ultimate Shock Tuning with Shockwiz

    I'm using a shockwiz to try to tune my 9.8XT rear shock. It comes with the super delux ultimate through shaft model similar but not identical to the stock SRAM model here. https://www.sram.com/en/rockshox/models/rs-sdlx-ult-b2 At 215psi it suggests add air and remove spacer. At 220psi it...

    New 2021 Rail 9.8XT Finally Arrived

    She's finally here. New 2021 Purple Faze Rail 9.8XT in large. Paid for on October 12th 2020 and arrived at the LBS Feb 25th 2021 in Dripping Springs, Texas. I'm 5" 10" and it sizing feels perfect. The reach feels a bit shorter than my canyon spectral in large. All my other bikes have SRAM so...
