    Fuel EXe Fuel EXe assist and power settings

    20 miles is fairly consistent on my EXe using only mid and high assist, never eco. Probably get about 2,500’ elevation in the 20 miles. I have 2 batteries, so I can double that If I want.

    Sram GX T derailleur/eagle drivetrain hack...anyone with old AXS try it?

    Had the GX T-Type transmission installed by my LBS yesterday. I only had to purchase the derailleur, cassette and chain. LBS said my original E*thirteen chain ring will work with the T-Type transmission. I am going to take the new transmission for a ride tomorrow.

    Is anyone running the GX AXS T-Type transmission? If so, how do you like it? Will it work with my current 5Dev cranks? If it doesn’t work, it is deal breaker. I appreciate any feedback.

    Sram GX T derailleur/eagle drivetrain hack...anyone with old AXS try it?

    Does anyone know if the GX T-Type will work with my current cranks? I am running 5Dev 155 mm and don’t want to change these. I am on a Trek Fuel EXe. I appreciate any info.

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    Good call. I did the same as has many others. My bike shop purchased everyone of the take-off parts from me for about $1,650. That brought the price of the 9.5 down to under $5K after the credit for the take-off parts. Basically I purchased the frame and motor for about $5K.

    I tried gloss. I thought it looked like shit. Added sheen to a matte colored bike. To me, the matte finish is one of the appeals of the Dnister Black.

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe range extender

    I have not had any issues changing to my second battery on the trail. It is my understanding the firmware on the bike needs to be updated with both the original and new battery before you use the new battery. Buy a second battery and don't look back. It is $150 more than a range extender...

    I would check with UPS and FedEx. I shipped a 252 wh battery across country. No issues. I just had to disclose it was a battery so they could tag the box. If you know your destination, you could probably have it shipped in advance and pick it up at your destination. You would have a full...

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    I run mullet on my EXe with 160 fork. I was getting a ton of pedal strikes. I put some 155 5Dev cranks on the bike and pedal strikes are now minimal. Highly recommend the 155 5Dev cranks. The 5Dev’s have a much narrower profile than the E-thirteens, which also helps.

    Trek Fuel EXe

    it was nothing more than OK when I rode it. I switched to a Rockshox Super Ultimate Deluxe shock with Sprindex coil, which I like much better.

    I built my own. I can move the vertical mounts anywhere along the unistrut. This allows my to space the bikes any distance apart that I want. My heavier bikes have the rear wheel on the ground to support the weight of the bike. My gravel bikes are hanging by the front wheels.

    Fuel EXe Trek fuel exe range extender battery availability?

    They will likely need to do a firmware update with both the battery and extender on the bike. They had to do that when I purchased my second battery.

    Thanks for the write up. Really good story and very glad you came along. If riding in the back country, one should always be prepared. Not to go off topic, but it could be relevant in a situation like this. Has anyone tried the SOS feature on their IPhone 14 or newer? Supposedly you can...

    I had the exact same issue. They replaced it under warranty. It has happened to others, according the the Trek rep for my LBS. It was a pain in the ass on my ride. It would get stuck in high assist mode. sometimes, I was able to get it to shift down if pushed the down button sideways...

    I had one and switched to a coil. I like the coil better.

    I had the same situation and was sick of them pushing it out. I cancelled my order and went with a full size battery and backpack setup. I am really glad I did this. I can do 40+ miles now using only mid and high assist. It is only $150 more than the RE, but more than double the WH. The...
