Trek Rail upgrades, what have you done?

[Smittylube]

Took mine for a 21 mile ride today, came home and my 220 rotors and adapter were delivered.
Just finished fitted them. Bedded in the rears, almost bedded in the fronts on a couple runs up and down the street. This will help a ton bombing down the hills. I feel the extra weight and now feel the brakes are matched better.

Damn I thought I was bad, I went with all XTR race face next 31 carbon wheels and XTR 4 piston brakes. But you my friend take the proverbial cake

3 more pawls and springs for my hub.
I may have used a bit too much grease. Super quiet now.

I ordered new standard hardware from offset bushings and just installed it (I did re-use the black caps from original hardware as silver didn't look as good.). I had no fitment issues. With the spring off i Jumped on the pedals on no resi or seat stay contact on a large Rail 7. Shock Bushings | Trek Rail

whats the travel on the lyric? still 160 or 170mm looks rad man

it's at 170 atm, I am tempted to order the air spring to drop it to 160mm ( IMO the lyrik isn't great at 170, 160 and under its awesome )

In what way is it worse at 170?

 

[Smittylube]

I prefer mine with 170

 

[akirasan88]

I feel way more stiction at 170, then I did at 160, just IMO. So the off the top isn't as supple as it was at 160.

 

[Smittylube]

Ahh that makes sense. I put the Zeb ultimate at 170 on mine and for me the performance far exceeds the stock Yari my Rail 7 came with.

 

[akirasan88]

Yeah, the Zeb is a complete different monster. At 170mm, I bet Zeb is a great fork.

 

[Smittylube]

Yeah it just feels so solid and the action is like butter. My thought was run it slightly more into the sag than the 160 and it should be basically the same geometry sitting on the bike, but smoother and slightly more travel.
I’m very pleased with it.

 

[Richiefromboston]

Ok bought a trek rail 2021 9.8XT drove 1000 miles roundtrip to get, brought it home road couple times and did not dig the SLX brakes or XT shifting, I have a 2021 Bulls Copperhead and its has same bosch motor XTR throughout and I wanted trek to be XTR Soooooooooooooo Pulled it all apart in my kitchen Put XTR 4clamper Brakes Xtr shifter Derailleur 10-51 t XTR cassette Got a Reverb stealth dropper BUT decided not to go hydraulic and replaced Bontrager dropper post cable with jagwire and wolftooth trigger and then yanked the pro line 30 ally rims and replaced with raceface next 31's with Vault hubs and Schwable big betty's fr/rear. also xtr 203mm rotors and finally raceface atlas pedals and a raceface next carbon bar with 35mm rise If i can score carbon arms I will. She is done my friends and the copperhead is for sale

Fitted the speed box 3 and took it for a wee spin. Managed 34mph on a flat. Marvellous. Looking at some new faster rolling tyres now. Any recommendations?

 

[Smittylube]

Swapped the bars from my other bike- slight riser CF. Immediately noticed slightly more compliant feel on bumps. More comfortable sitting pedaling position.

Just ordered a 3.0 for my rail 9.8 Already had In my 2021 bulls Copperhead that I just sold, But I couldnt remove it because I was unable To remove the carbon Praxxis Crank arms off the bosch motor So new owner that just bought Bulls got a free speedbox 3.0

I have an Aluminum Rail 7 so my KIOX is bar mounted on right side of stem. Nyon Mounts over stem but I'm hoping alternatives come out soon but its pretty new.
