Just over 3,000kms and no problems. Well, in some seriously extreme weather, water entered the remote and the bike shut down. Trek sent a new remote, but I simply dried the old one, blocked the port where the water got in, and it's been good as gold ever since (plus, I now have a brand new spare...

Hey all, Love my Fuel EXe so far, but wanting to see if I can get away with a coil on the rear. Most of my riding is on natural trails, with over head high drops, steep and tech, some jumps, and some v.fast and loose rock chutes. As a particularly short rider, I'm running my rear shock at...

As I mentioned previously, if you want a set and are willing to cover all costs, I'd be happy to send some from the UK for you.

Thanks bud, I have one on order now :)

If you let me have your address and are willing to cover the costs, I can post you one from the UK, if it helps?

I did it to my shock - relatively straightforward, but fitting the springs and getting them to play ball, whilst fitting the assembly to the shock, now that's a different matter. Have fun!

As a UK based EXe rider, I agree with this 100%. The only disappointment for me is the lack of the Range Extender, which I have paid for and can't use, because it apparently doesn't exist. Maybe Trek need to think about how to compensate those of us in this situation, whilst they're sat there...

I'd rather have a bike that flies everywhere else, than one that flies uphill.

I'm also 5'6" and have historically had the same problems with wheel-arse contact, on previous 29ers. On this EXe, I've reduced the stroke of my shock to 57.5mm (controversial, I know!), giving 135mm of rear travel. It's bloody brilliant! I get the speed benefits of running a full 29er, with...

I wound up with a piece of Helitape, cut to size, worked a treat. Would still like a Gorilla Glass one, if it becomes available...

Need some help please folks. I need the chainring spider, which comes on the SRAM drivetrain-equipped bikes, but can not find it for love nor money. I thought it was the FSA W0108, but the interface looks completely different to that which came off my bike. Please help!!!

Standard ISIS fit, so any ISIS cranks will be fine. The only consideration is Q factor, but I've never been bothered by that, though seem people seem hell-bent on a given number!

Have you got a link to the stuff you used please? Don't want to get the wrong stuff!

Has anyone come across a decent screen protector, for the Fuel EXe? I know I'm going to cry if mine gets scratched..!

You can find connectors, to join the hoses, or use a routing kit, such as Ice Tools or Park Tool, either of which make the job substantially less painful!

And so, finally, here it is! Started out as a size small 9.7, but now with multiple upgrades/spec changes, as follows: Hunt Trail Wide 29" wheelset, running 2.6" front and 2.4" rear, Michelin Wild AM2s and Peaty's valves (also have the original wheelset, fitted with Shorty/DHRII combo). Deore...

Shit. Only bought mine 3 weeks ago and was told January, guess that's no longer the case :(

How are people finding the range over time? I'm sure I read, on the megathread somewhere, that people were finding range improved over a few rides? I have two rides now, both almost identical (28kms/965m with 2% remaining, 27kms/955m 11%), but I thought I'd be doing better for range than I am...

There's an internal channel that runs it from the BB to the head tube, so as long as you thread the hose from back to front, it should take less than 30 seconds. Try it the other way round though, and that's where you could hit a snag, as the internal channel isn't as easy to access that way around!

It's just an option, if I get the 29" rear wheel causing problems. I don't want to mullet this bike, but ride a lot of steep tech, with rocky drops and such, so reducing rear travel could reduce instances where the rear wheel hits my ass, if that does in fact turn out to be an issue. Plus, I...
