I went through this myself a few months ago. RideWrap was zero help so I solved it myself. I cut that piece down the center and worked from the top of the down tube to the protection. When I got to the protection I used a razor to trim the film to shape. Worked awesome and it looks factory.
That's crazy, I was prepared to wait a very long time after reading all the posts about these things. I just picked mine up and the shop said it's only the second order that has arrived.
Have your shop check the contacts on the battery. Mine was replaced under warranty as the battery movement caused the contacts to bend resulting in disconnects. Foam pads and new battery solved the issue.
You mean the second post AFTER you were warned by more than one person? Yeah I saw it, not sure what your point is. You have one post saying you will run it and one saying you wont. Nobody was getting on your case, no need to try and cover up your tracks my guy. We were all just trying to help.
You do realize that statements such as "the only gripe I have is that the Shimano chain is quite noisy on the SRAM chainring however that may change after bedding in" could lead people to believe you intend to run this long term right?
Why go through the expense of installing the XX chain ring only to run a Shimano chain? Of course it’s going to be noisy as it does not fit together correctly despite the illusion it is working fine. If you are hell bent on keeping the chain put the Burgtec on asap and save the wear and tear on...
I just went through something similar. In my case the battery moving around bent the contact points in the battery in a way that made the connection fragile. RIB alignment, foam pads from the Trek service bulletin and a new battery under warranty and it’s better than ever.
I could not get the stock chain guide spaced out enough for the XX chain ring. One up makes a guide for Bosch that I used, it includes spacers for a 55mm chain line.

The 34 tooth limit is due to chainstay interference with the stock chain line. The Transmission chainrings are available in 34 tooth, I have one. But I am currently running the 36 tooth with no issue on my 2022 9.8 thanks to the 55mm chain line.
This only applies when the dropper is down. When extended you can lift/hang to your hearts content. I think a lot of you are putting way too much thought in to this. If you have ever serviced your dropper and seen what’s inside you would not be so timid. It’s two very sturdy metal tubes and in...
While I voted B I actually run AXS droppers on both my emtb so when it goes in the stand I yank that and use and old crappy Bontrager post instead. Prob overkill to be honest but it gives me piece of mind for very little effort.
I ordered an EX-e today from a Trek branded shop and was told they have had the range extenders on back order for nearly a year, the newest date they have is Sept. 4. They have had zero communication as to what the issue is/has been. I’m going to hurry up and wait…
