Trails! What trails you ride make all the difference. All my favorite trails seem to require some hike-a-bike to access. Carrying a heavier ebike uphill offsets the benefits of having more power/range. And The lighter bike typically descends better (given similar parts/geometry) on most...

I’m pretty sure the TTx2 would fit, since many people are running coils on the EXe. I just measured and there’s 14mm between the air can and seat tube, so the air can diameter could increase by nearly twice that. I do think the TTx1 is the better shock for this bike though. The only difference...

Gotta say again, Im extremely happy with the Ohlins TTx1. I think with 140mm travel this bike works really well with a progressive air shock. The TTX1 is their smaller volume option with LSC, rebound and 3-way HSC adjustments. My body weight (lbs) in psi gets me 30% sag. really supple initial...

It would also be nice to adjust the brightness, I find the display a little bright for night riding. Maybe Off/Low/Hi or something simple.

Range will be totally dependent on your assist modes. In case it helps, I weigh more than you (86kg) and get similar range/battery life to you're describing when using trail/boost modes. If kept in Eco I can easily get over 1,100m of elevation, all singletrack climbing. I'm also running Mullet...

Definitely not overkill, I’m quite happy with it! In my case I went from the Lyrik Select+150mm to the Zeb ultimate 160mm. Both 2023s with the charger 3 damper & debonair+ airSprings. The zeb has the buttercups which are a noticeable improvement I think, but easy upgrade to the selct+ once...

Yeah, I’m running a Zeb ultimate 160. It’s 3mm over Treks max a2c, which seems petty. If feels great! But the only reason I bought it was, you can’t get 160mm air shafts for the stock 2023 lyriks yet. I’m skeptical that the Zeb would be too much of an improvement over your current fork. Probably...

I'm really loving the Ohlins TTx1 on the Fuel- this is their smaller air volume option with good adjustability. Some very good deals to be had on these as well.

@jgusta I’m not sure what to tell you, but stick with it! I spent most of last season on a 160/170 propain tyee, coil rear. Amazing bike! So I was concerned the I wouldn’t get along with the Fuel, but it’s working out well. It sounds like you’ve checked all the boxes, including bar height- these...

@Flow81 I agree, take it in for warranty, somethings not right. I did 2000' up in 30 minutes today, all at boost/300w. Granted it was cold, and body weights vary, but your bike shouldn't be struggle with a climb like that. I had 45% battery left at the summit.

The battery comes from TQ (through Trek) but the handles are a separate Trek sourced product. Not saying it makes sense, but I don't get the impression Trek planned on selling a lot of full-power TQ batteries aftermarket. After someone brought it up here, I checked with my local Trek store and...

Had a great ride today, bike is running so well! 2750’ , 15 miles, finished with 9% battery. Wet slippery mushy downhill! Spent most all of the ride in trail mode, but with the max power at 300w.

Increasing the stroke of the shock will lower the bike at bottom-out, but the static height will remain the same (because the shock eye-to-eye length is unchanged). Unfortunately anything you could do to increase standover will also lower the BB.

Sounds about right. I just re-measured and I’m at 334mm (13.15”). My worn rear tire may have dropped the BB 😅 That’s with the Zeb 160mm and Minions F&R. I’m finding the BB to be just right, but I like low BB’s and our trails are more flow/loam and not much chunky rock. I asked about the set-up...

I’m thinking that failed frame on FB was an outlier/QC issue…. Have you gone 160mm fork & high mode? What shock? I have mullet thoughts, coming from a mulleted Propain Tyee 29cf...very happy with the Fuel EXe in mullet form.

Last season on a full fat, I found too many rides required pushing or hike-a-bike for various reasons. Down trees, "secret" hike-in trail entrances, clear cuts, a dead battery once. For one local trail in particular, I found my enduro meat-bike was preferrable over the EMTB, since the amount of...

Cool hack. I found a standard cateye cyclometer magnet works fine with no drilling required- the threaded plastic "spoke" piece on the back, magnet threading into that through the hole.

Yeah mine is like that too and, I actually wish it was more translucent (like my propain tyee). Anyways, like it or not it is intentional, hence the “deep smoke” name.

Me too. Maybe someone else can confirm how theirs comes out. Perhaps the sleeve tool prevents the seal from becoming detached from the lock ring when using the octalink/isis tool. I’m sure trek dealers would have included that sleeve tool if it is really that important 🤔

Very interesting, thanks and great graphics. Curious to what software you’re using, solidworks or inventor maybe? So anyways, I’ve had my lockring off (hunting down the creek that ended up being my Chris King hub driver) and the shaft seal did not come out with it. My assumption was that...
