My 2020 Trek Rail 7 came with stock shimano 10-51 12 speed set-up,and after I think, the second cassette was worn, I researched goin 10 speed ( due scarcity of 12 speed stuff and doubling of prices, cheers COVID!!and glad I did! Plenty of climbing on the edge of the dales, never thought the need...
the prices are getting proper obscene now ! i splashed 4800 on a rail 7 last summer,
and i thought that was plenty to spend (awesome bike BTW), just had a quick look over the images of the 2022 bike and it
looks dandy, but pound to a piece of shit the paint is still very fragile(for emtb)
and...
As a Trek Rail 7 owner with the best part of 4000 miles in about 15 months, lancashire/yorkshire border, (we get some shite weather)
i was dubious from the outset about the need for 12 speed 10-51setup on an eeb.
So when it came to replacing the chain/cassette for the 1st time, i was able to...
My ride is a 2020 Trek Rail 7, few mods, ( one up dropper, 11-42 , 10speed drivetrain) the bike is 12 months old as off 6/7/21,
Me n a couple of pals headed out for a spin and 10 miles in the bike cut- out! I thought I’d knocked it off myself by mistake, so switched it back on, all ok , then 5...

I upgraded my Rail 7 to the 6 pawl engagement, worked a treat (for a while) then freehub ended up sliding outward on the axle for some reason, this then made the pawl location slots elongate, so new freehub required !!! Then the clutch on the rear mech went dicky, when i was pricing the new...
I’ve just binned all my 12 speed shimano drivetrain on my rail 7 , due to supply and cost!( also pretty worn)
I sourced full 11-42 10 speed shimano kit, from various online stores with very little drama, google is your friend ??

As I stated in my previous post, how long is it goin to take for a replacement to arrive via the FAR east? That’s if there’s any stock, or are they already modifying it ?
WTF!! surely this creates an endless warranty scenario?? If parts are simply not available,
Does this mean that if your waiting for a warranty part that has, say a 300 day+ lead time, warranty surely has to be extended accordingly ?
Or is it! F@@@ @@F we carnt extend warranty as its not of our...
Did i read it right , starting at 8k for the expert? They have to recoup some of the cost for the 1000s of replacement motors/ power leads/TCUs, extended warranties thats been fitted gratis in the world !!!

At first I thought it was brilliant , then I set off on a big mileage ride ( 35+ miles and 4K+Ft) climbing, ran out about 3 miles from home, luckily it was mostly down , but the last 20% was very little assist( felt like just eco)!
Other 2 rides couldn’t even get low 30s mileage wise before it...
I took my Rail 7 in to my supplying store for a dropper warranty claim at the beginning of december, i asked them to plug it in for any updates and they put in the new emtb lite version(works like emtb but less torque) after this i ran out of battery on 3 rides!!!! :<( between christmas and new...
