have they changed the head tube on the new rail?
on my old 2020 (sadly now stolen) rail, it was plug an play when i upgraded the fork to fox 38's - used the exiting headset and crown race. i'm not sure if i'm missing something here but the fox 38's are 1 1/8 to 1.5 tapered as was the head set...
unfortunately after having both of my bikes stolen this weekend (bronson and Rail) i'm back to bike shopping.
anyone know what the lead times in the UK are for the new rails (with bigger battery) is currently? will do some ringing around but trying to pull together a short list first
I’m 187cm / 6ft 1 and ride a large. I could ride either a large or an XL I reckon, but went for a large as they’re big heavy bikes to be heaving about and figured the large would be a bit more manoeuvrable. The large fits ok, sometimes feels a little tight, mainly on really steep stuff where I a...
if your still looking, i've got a 170mm bontrager dropper i took off my rail in favour of a 210 oneup post. sitting in the shed gathering dust. let me know if you're interested. pot only though as kept the remote for the new post
Quick update on this, finally managed to catch one up with some stock and a 210 fits fine on a large rail. Running it with about 10mm of post above the seat clamp, but can run it fully slammed
I had a warranty claim with them back in April after my rail battery fell out when riding, communication from them wasn’t great but they sorted the claim quick enough. I’ve got a feeling though that you can put in a warranty claim with any of treks dealer network so don’t have to use them...
considering a further upgrade to my rail 9 my2020 - going to zebs from lyrik select+ as the lyriks don't seem to track or hold a line as well as i'd like and i end up on all sorts of interesting lines. although to be fair i am a 16 stone man riding a 50lb bike and what ever the lyriks get me...
anyone know what the max size One Up V2 dropper is you can fit on a the trek rail frame size large?
they used to have a really handy diagram on their site which gave all the dimension but they've now replaced it with a calculator thingy which doesn't give me the info i need.
the 170mm...
has anyone tried fitting a meg neg to the Deluxe RT3 re:aktiv / thru shaft shock that comes stock on a number of the rails?
does it fit ok? has i improved the shock?
fitted one to the super deluxe on my bronson and it improved the small bump and mid stroke support no end, hoping to replicate...
Rail 9 - large
swapped out the stock tyres fairly quickly - currently on magic Mary front and Eddie current rear, but tempted by an e-wild for the front
One up carbon bars - the stock alloys were overly harsh
Ditched the organic pads in the SLX brakes for metallic - better stopping power...
problem solved, the freehub came with the wrong end cap. swapped at the LBS and now all works fine.
yes, the hanger on the rail is a sram universal hanger, designed to fit shimano and sram
converting my rail 9 from sram GX drive train to shimano XT / SLX mix (not getting on with eagle). have had a new wheel built up with microspline free hub (hope pro 4 boost / 148) as had virtually destroyed the soft as cheese bontrager rear rim anyhow. however once the cassette is fitted the...
