    Trek rail rear shock upgrade ideas please

    Bought from TF Tuned - came from them with the 3 shims pre-installed so the shock was standard 57.5mm. Edit: but have since tried 60mm and 62.5mm but have stayed with 57.5mm which works nicely with the forks (Lyrik Ultimate MY23). Am 5'10/75kg with a 525lb spring. Tried a 500lb spring which...

    Trek rail rear shock upgrade ideas please

    Is your shock trunnion or eye-to-eye? If eye-to-eye the shims (spacers) are 2.5mm so you can shim the 65 shock down to 62.5, 60.0, and 57.5. Is what I have on my 2022 Trek Rail 5.

    Have Bosch missed a trick?

    As I see it in principle there are two extremes of product introduction and development: The first is to introduce a conservative performance product where reliability comes first then later to upgrade performance. The second is to introduce a maximum performance product then to modify the...

    Bye-bye Fillmore valves

    Seems that Fillmore valves work OK with Stans tubeless sealant but not with Muc-off tubeless sealant. Will not switch to Stans because Fillmore valves are incompatible with Muc-off. Always park our bikes with wheels at 4 or 8 o'clock and only very occasionally have jammed Presta valves. In...

    Is Orbea customer service horrible

    My new e160 rsx

    To the contrary, the advice does relate to this issue. O-rings are used for compression fits which the chainring lock nut is not. The O-ring behind the Bosch chainring is probably there to try to prevent the chainring lock nut coming loose, and in any case when the lock nut is tightened the...
