Just a further comment re using a "Battery Protect" approach ... ala the setting on my Samsung phone (where it stops charging at 85%).....
I have had my Exe since Oct 2022 (16 months) so I have some long experience with it.
After discovering this 85% setting in my phone a few months ago, my...
Hi all,
My last 2 Samsung models have / had a Settings option that can be enabled called "Battery Protect" which it says: "To extend the lifespan of your battery, limit the charging to 85%."
Re the Original Post... like some others have said, when I have charged my battery to 100% I do not...
Don't feel too bad re this... I did the same thing when tired at the end of a long day 😖🤦♂️... I had only hand nipped it up and hadn't yet torqued it - but it was still tricky to undo.
Iirc I just managed to get a thin cone wrench in behind and angle the jaws to a position against the...
Yes, I am concerned at the "adjusting to the loss of additional power from the motor" aspect and looking and sounding like a numpty to my Trek shop when the reality is that it is my perception rather than fact. So hence I would like to have some sort of science-based measure to validate it. I...
+1 for Squirt. Usually only dry or sandy / dusty tracks where and when I ride, but if it rains the Squirt lube stays on quite well. Before the very first use you need to follow the instructions and strip out all the factory / previous lube off the chain and dry it. Then apply it liberally into...
"Anyone else have drag in steeper terrain when they turn the assistance off?"...
Yes, I have exactly this.... the same as per your description. It is such a force that it feels like you are dragging an anchor behind you with low power and a steep incline. Then it seems to "release" as soon as...
I purchased my EXe in Oct 2022. I had electrical system problems after some (very gentle) washes of the bike (including having the display unit and charging port taped over) ... so since then I only wash the tyres / wheels with a gentle hosing, but the rest of the bike I just wipe with a...

It was fantastic that TQ via Roman were involved on this forum even though it was just for a very brief period. Anyone else get the sense that TQ told Roman to stop being involved on this forum and hence the radio silence now? 🤔. I get why TQ might not want to communicate through forums...
Hi all. Does anyone know what increased torque value is ok to go up to for the shock bolts... without stripping, damaging or snapping any bolts etc.? Thanks.
Hi all. Fyi my Trek shop received the new Lockring that now has the 50Nm marking stamped on it. It came with the protective blue sleeve. Unfortunately they misplaced it before I picked up the bike so I can't send a pic of it at the moment. They are now trying to get me a sleeve as I will need...
Just fyi for anyone that may be interested, I recently purchased some e13 Alloy crank arms in 160mm length (on Sale 😀) and they are stamped as having a 19.5mm Offset. So a 3mm offset difference compared to the 165mm e13 Alloy.
Apologies, I haven't taken many pics of my bike... I will clean the bike on the weekend and try and get some good shots outside in decent lighting. But here are a couple of random (indoor) pics I currently have on my phone. The one with the wheels off looks very shiny but that is due to the...
I have that exact bike and I wrapped mine using Gloss. For me the paintwork is a bit metallic and what I considered to be on the gloss side of things. I am very happy with the way it looks. (I am in Australia and purchased my kit via a local company called Frameskin). I also purchased some...

That's great re that power cutout being resolved in Boost.... I had exactly the same thing happening when doing steep climbs the other day in Boost... so I ended up switching to Mid-power mode and at least the power was engaged consistently in that mode. I will confess my legs were...
Thanks for that. I had noted that Trek info some time back... but as the Trek mechanic saw fit to tweak the alignment I haven't taken the crank off to check if it is aligned as per the Service Manual and don't want to mess with what he has done. I have been away from home the past 4 weeks and...
Hi,
Thanks, yes - the same thing popped into my mind when the drag started to happen as I had remembered that Service Bulletin re the alignments. However I have subsequently ridden quite a distance (about 70 kms) since the mechanic did the "alignment" so it should have re-establised itself by...
I would have made the same comment regarding "close to no drag" with the assistance off... but since the Update of October 31, I started getting occasions of a lot of drag on steep climbs with the assistance turned off / system powered off. At the same time as the update, the Trek mechanic said...
Re the large rubber shuttle guard piece... in case anyone is wondering... I successfully took mine off and repositioned it and it stuck down perfectly again. (I did this as it had been applied by Trek out of alignment with the frame and the lower guard piece.
Apart from looking wrong, the...
I have the 9.7 in Grey+Black and the paint top coat definitely scuffs up very easily and started to look very tatty after a couple of rides (in the areas where the full Frameskin film wasn't covering). And I had some chipped paint areas too.
So I used some extra paint protection film to do...
