For sure it would! Although Trek should warranty your wheel for you, if you just want something to keep you going while you're waiting for your DT wheelset. Almost a waste to lace a nice DT hub to a Bonty rim ;)
@dochabanero if this is what I think it is, I had the same thing happen on my accoustic, running line 30 pro Bontys. The centre piece that houses the ratchet for the freehub pawls is bonded into the hub, and this had let go. Trek replaced the wheel in it's entirety but I never used it, felt I...
If you're running exo or exo+ I think your pressures are a bit low. I'm 95kg and ride lots of rooty trails too, I also run 18psi in the front but that's with a DD casing, and I've had no issues at that pressure. I would just keep raising the pressure a couple of psi until the tyre stops...
Yes, that's an interesting question! I think they're referring to how the bike's geo affects body position and handling. I've seen this term used before, but it was a review on our beloved (or not) Rail that led me to ask the question. They're talking about feeling a bit perched on top of rather...
Hey everyone, stupid question Friday! I've just watched a bike review where they were talking about the bike getting "stood up" in tight corners. Can anyone please explain exactly what this means?
This is my combo as well. They are expensive, but quality and feature wise they don't disappoint. Got an additional battery for the diablo for extra run time. Seriously bright lights, I can ride as if it was daytime
The damage can only occur if the knock block fails, which in the OP's case it has. Just because knock block failure may not be common ( I don't actually know ) doesn't mean Trek shouldn't cover the owner when it does. My Bike Yoke dropper failed not long after purchase - not common apparently -...
Whether or not Trek explicitly state the knock block will prevent damage, the frame, with it's straight down tube, is designed in such a way that the fork crown can hit the frame and damage it. So Trek designed the knock block to prevent such damage . The knock block has failed in its intended...
Yes. There are tabs that lock into machined recesses on the stem and the spacers. These tabs must have snapped off in the OP's crash. Those rubber bumps aren't stuck on very well either.
I would have thought this would definitely be a warranty issue, since the knock block is supposed to prevent this very thing? Especially when your crash was just a wash out
You'll be talking about Bontrager's plastic rim bed. I think yes you would be able to fit a tube, but maybe not the easiest doing it trailside. The rim bed makes it harder to fit tyres anyway, although it does make it easier to air the tyres up tubeless. But if you think you're going to need to...
I would think, for a part like that, you would have to order it either directly from Trek or through a Trek dealer, I would start by contacting the shop you bought the bike from
