    Part number help - Trek Rail

    Hello all, Bikes been in the garage for a few weeks. Got it out to give it a clean and noticed the lower bolt on the rear suspension sticking out. Not used it since BPW where it took a battering. I hammered the bolt back through then noticed a D Shaped plate which I assume has a thread is...

    Review Tannus tyre armour

    I really can't see 0.1 of an inch making a difference at all. I'd get it stuck in and save yourself a few quid.

    Review Tannus tyre armour

    Tannus Armour - Updated Review I've been running the armour for over 4 months now front and rear. Minion DHF with an Aggressor on the rear. Just come back from 3 days in Scotland. Managed 4 of the 7 Stanes. I'm pretty sure it was Mabie with the insanely sharp rocks everywhere. Done 60 miles...

    What's the steepest hill / mountain / mineshaft you've climbed?

    I rode a hill called the rake local to me the specs are. Length – 0.9 km Average gradient: 12% Max gradient: 23% Height gain: 98 m I rode this on my normal XC bike and was seeing all-sorts of stuff by the end absolutely dripping with sweat. Tried it on the E'b and it was still a pain in arse.

    New Bosch Update out extra 10Nm Torque for the Rail!

    Apparently it doesn't affect the range according to what I've read and watched. The battery consumption is the same. If I'm out for a big day say 40 miles in unknown territory it will be a mixture Eco / Tour. Managed just under 40 miles the other week with 3800ft no trouble. I think body weight...

    New Bosch Update out extra 10Nm Torque for the Rail!

    I don't normally ride in EMTB as I wasn't keen on the feel of the power delivery. To me today it felt very fluid how the power engaged through the pedal stroke. Normally I ride in Eco or Tour most of the time. I did 3000ft climbing today over 23 miles. Mostly in EMTB with a bit of Turbo with my...

    Trek Rail 5 2020 - Rearhub service

    My rear hub on my Rail 5 had been making a rough noise for a while. I asked my LBS to have a look while they were looking at my gears and updating the firmware. They changed the bearings in my rear hub. Its come back super quiet. I've attached a picture of the parts that were removed with the...

    New Bosch Update out extra 10Nm Torque for the Rail!

    First ride today with the new update. Wow absolutely wow. Blown away with Turbo, absolutely blasted it up my local tough climb and knocked 10 seconds off my old time. Rode most of my 20 miles in EMTB to see the difference. Really smooth delivery of power it's a massive improvement. Props to...

    Rail rear rotor replacement

    I've upgraded my rotors. They're just held in by the rotor bolts. Just torque them up and off you go.

    Bosch Gen4 gets more power, is faster than Turbo Levo in drag race

    Do you have to take it to the LBS for the update or can you do it at home. My LBS has a 2 month backlog at the moment.

    Why do I have 2 charging leads? Silly question probably..

    Mine fell of when I was cleaning luckily. 2 part aryldite has sorted the job out.

    No way I can get a 2.5 DHF front tyre on rim. Anyone done this?

    I run a 2.5 DHF on the front with a Tannus Insert. I do remember having a bit of a wrestle with it and some choice words.

    Chain and Cassette Advice Please

    Sounds like a plan to me. Chains on order. I'll take the cassette off and straighten it. Stick new chain on and see how it goes. Thanks.

    Chain and Cassette Advice Please

    Thanks for the information. I'll pick a new chain and cassette up. God knows how the tooth got bent. Possibly something stuck in it at one point.

    Chain and Cassette Advice Please

    Trek Rail 5 I noticed the other day that shifting was a bit suspect in a couple of the middle gears. Nothing insane just a niggle now and again. Upon inspection this morning I noticed a bent tooth on one of the cogs. I checked my chain wear while I was there and it's above .75. This is an NX...
