I’ve been using PDW Kepler tail light.
First one started acting up - one led went bad - and PDW replaced it. Now the second one suddenly went from bright to barely working. I’ll contact them and see what they say, but if they don’t replace it I’ll be loo looking for something else … any...
Hmmm, local Trek store has been generous and proactive but never offered this up, maybe because I stopped having battery disconnect problems once I did a hack recommended by a roving bike mechanic (goes from Trek store to Trek store).
‘21 Rail 5 here. 5 & 7 are good platforms for upgrades. I’m fine with the aluminum frame, no interest in a carbon Rail. Over time I built some sturdy wheels (wtb htz i35 rims white industries xdr hubs), upgraded brakes/rotors (Magura MT5/MDR-P) and upgraded from NX to GX cassette...
I had this problem with my '21 Rail 5, ended up flipping it over, pulling engine cover, loosening lower battery bracket, then pressing the lower bracket with a rod (like a long hex wrench) against the battery (and into the upper bracket) while re-tightening the lower bracket. If you press it...
After a few upgrades to my Trek Rail (built wheels, new brakes/rotors, dropper) I was more or less a frame short of another bike, and picked up on sale Sonder Frontier frameset, NX groupset to build out a relatively light (29lb) urban/light trail bike.
Once I upgrade the fork on my Trek...
Do you have an example? In komoot I get “includes a segment in which cycling is not permitted” but not sure how you can map between two points without there being a path (“known road” as you put it) between them.
Bosch routes around the segment mindlessly having you loop around up to it...
I think I've got drag on my Rail's shifter cable, after a shift there's often chain/gear noise that goes away if I stretch the cable (press the shifter a bit). I'm assuming that's what it is though before checking for pinches (pulling motor) or just swapping the cable housing, I was planning...
My Rail 5 ('21?) Came with Tektro brakes. I could "1-finger" them fine, but after riding my buddies Rail with upgraded brakes (I forget which brand) I realized the Tektro's neither stopped nor modulated as well.
I won a raffle with gift cards for a local bike store and bought Magura MT5s...

Here's what I gave up: '02 CLK55. I wasn't driving it much, wife was nagging me to sell it, so I maliciously complied and brought home a Rail 5. That was two years ago. Got quite the eye roll at first - never mind building wheels, building another bike, etc - but now she's...
Last August I built a set of wheels with an XD hub body (White Industries XMR+) for my Trek Rail 5, to replace the stock wheels which had an HG hub body. I haven't counted the miles on the cassette, nor can I recall if I've used just one or two GX chains.
After busting a link on the...
I installed one on my 2021 XL Rail 5, no fitment issues. I did notice that at first it lost air, and I check the pressure before every ride, but that seems to have more or less abated.
I'm 220-225 depending on what I'm carrying, at 62 not terribly aggressive, and do not (yet) have a...
