    Trek Rail cable routing - bottom bracket area

    My brakes are the same way round as you, and the cables are not crossed over where they enter the chainstays. I think it would annoy me too. The only way to fix it would be to disconnect the brake hose from the caliper, and the shift cable from the derailleur, pull them both back through the...

    Roll Call: New Zealand Based EMTB Riders

    That sounds nasty! Hope you're all good? No matter how many times people are told not to panic buy, they still do. Even here in Rangiora, Wednesday morning supermarket chokka, people with overflowing trolleys... :rolleyes:

    Dropper post care

    This is actually fine to do as long as the post is fully extended. If it is not fully extended, a vaccuum can be created, causing air to mix with the oil = saggy dropper.

    Trek Rail cable routing - bottom bracket area

    I always thought UK was the same as NZ, left-hand rear brake - and it was the US that was the opposite. Anyway, I can't see any reason at all why you can't re-route them, if it bothers you. Maybe over time it might be an issue with the outers rubbing on each other. It's quite easy to drop the...

    My Rail, Resting on Stuff

    Rotors look sweet, "Noise and vibration-free", that's what I need, sick of trying to straighten/quieten the Shimano rotors. Never heard of Galfer before. Are they good? Are you running the 223mm?

    My Rail, Resting on Stuff

    Nice shot. What rotor are you running on the front?

    Ebike eating chains

    Never ridden an IGH, but this is exactly what I would expect it to be like. Don't want all that unsprung weight on the back. Nothing wrong with a traditional drive train. Yes you have to perform basic maintenance, and replace it as it wears, but the derailleur doesn't require frequent adjustment...

    Ebike eating chains

    Yeah I love my Rail as well! Hate the brakes though, can't seem to stop the front rotor rubbing/howling. Suspect a tiny bit of flex in the Yari could be partly to blame. Also had to warranty my BikeYoke dropper today :rolleyes: Yes the 11 speed chain will be a little stronger, the more speeds...
