Maybe useful to someone here … After initially hugely missing the subtle/capable/buttery feel of my trusty 2014 Intense Tracer T275 (with 2015 Marzocchi NCR & 2017 Float X2, giving 160mm f/r), my Fuel EXe 9.8 XT with stock RS front (Charger 3) & rear is finally starting to feel the same. How...

… [edit] thx! About 255mm of the 261mm insertable length of the 150mm Bonty post fits in the (my) M. 28mm of that is the actuator, and it feels like that is acting as the ‘stop’, so the quoted value is for the body of the post.

I could use a little more drop than the Bontrager 150mm in my M – anyone know off-hand how much more (than 261mm) can go into the frame? After a quick-&-dirty measurement on the outside of the seat tube, it does not look like there would be a lot more space available … Thx …

Should I be able to edit the pages on the Trek Fuel EXe display with the TQ app??

First real battery shakedown tour today … 940hm / 45km / 19.1 km/h / 92-9% / rider total 72kg Mostly with 100W / 100% / 30%. some @maximum, some @off — after some initial heavy battery usage (range anxiety coming on ;-), consumption settled down - as I saw that I had enough Wh left, the last...

… YES! … you buy the new rear tyre to closely match the wheel circumference of the front. Sorry, I know that isn‘t the answer you need … which is actually NO, at least not yet.

… you know that the ideal number of bikes is n (your current number) +1 … right?

In case anyone wants to know … Here is the overlapped power data comparison from Strava for a ride recorded with both the Trek Central app and Garmin XC200 pedals (via Edge 1030). Shown top to bottom is speed, power and cadence. Website plotting functions can be a little ‘vague‘ (see km...

What would you get for the old bike? … if that is a pitiful amount, just keep it as a dyno donkey until it falls apart …

I intend to check this soon against Garmin XC200’s.

I picked up my baja yellow 9.8 XT ‘M’ today – 18.6kg out of the box & tubeless (incl. see-thru frisbee on rear wheel). Ordered in December, arrived at LBS roughly 2 months late. It is equipped as specified online at time of order, except for Charger 3 on the Lyrik. Also came with the...

Lots of adjustment is a big plus. A fixed battery, not really much quieter (and apparently making it quieter was only an afterthought – see Loamwolf report on YouTube), and an (for me) uninspiring frame format ( … totally subjective of course) are all deal killers for me … it may ride great...

... (non-)availability in Europe.

… OK, post #1100 and thereabouts - although not one word from your suggestion was helpful in getting a result 😝

... thx for the item list ... if anyone else has any more quick check items pls chime in! @DBSwiss – Yep, there is some good alpine access here. Don't know a Wolfram (yet).

Hi community, I’m probably going to get shot down with ‘search yourself’ replies, but here goes: My 9.8 XT is coming this week, I was wondering if there is a quick check list of things to look for before rolling out of the shop? The Trek dealer should be able to see what of any...

… for all the same reasons I tried to order one with a new bike, but was told none are available (in Germany).

EXe 9.8 on order, been a reader only so far, here is my first post … Does running the bike mullet count as tuning? It is effectively a 5% gear reduction (for a 2,5” tyre), so max. 50Nm becomes max. 52.5Nm :eek: … so very likely not really noticeable.
