    Replacement brake disc

    With XT (and all Shimano 4 pot) calipers and thicker rotors what you have to do is gently push caliper pads apart a little more than with narrower rotors, and if necessary remove a small amount of brake fluid from levers to compensate.

    Other Rail or Fuel Ex-e

    Our alloy Gen 2's (wife and mine) don't have connectivity either. Which is one very solid reason we're staying with them.

    Other Rail or Fuel Ex-e

    If the Rail works for you then why change it for another Rail or Fuel EXe? :confused:

    Fazua Ride 60. Yay or Nay? Reliability Improved?

    That is taking the p*ss, and that is being polite. Bluntly, it most likely means never.

    Try "Avon Skin So Soft Dry Oil Body Spray", we use it and it works really well. (The SAS and other services are often reputed to use it too btw).

    Levociraptor, Turbo Levo motor failure and warranty void.

    One possibility is that the shop did indeed detect the use of the Levociraptor but ignored it and replaced the motor.

    Levociraptor, Turbo Levo motor failure and warranty void.

    Force of habit, just don't like stuff 'on' that has no function.

    Levociraptor, Turbo Levo motor failure and warranty void.

    Down a hill at 20mph, wtf? Turned the motor off on a really steep rough trail and got this (Trek Rail). So much vibration that started seeing double tbh 😆

    After a solid year with the SRAM T-Type Transmission heres what I can tell you.

    That's a very interesting video, thanks for making it. Basic conclusions seems to be: use Shimano cable shifting, use 625Wh battery, forget Airwiz. Or put another way, forget the gimmicks and put your money into well proven components . (y)

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe 9.5 Build

    Got a Question: Why did you buy the Specific bike you bought?

    Wife and I riding MTBs (Trek Fuel EXs) far more frequently in lockdown, was one of the unrestricted things we in the UK could do. Going up steeper and steeper hills for fun downhill became increasingly harder for her (over 60) and me (over 70). So having a Trek LBS and in the past always riding...

    No batteries available for my 4 day old Canyon Spectral:On CF8 - considering returning it

    Verbal assurances over the phone are basically worthless unless and until you have them in writing. Just saying.
