I've got a ruler if you guys want to get this over with.

Jank after dark.

I bought a Trek Rail in the summer of 2023. I had previously been pretty active in the local riding community, but had been missing a lot of rides due to a hip injury. I bought a new eMTB and started trail riding again. I'm one of the few eMTB riders in my group. I've noticed since buying the...

I spoke with Trek support today and they told me that a change in chainring size on the Rail 7 requires reprogramming. Unfortunately my local Trek dealer sucks. They had my bike for two months last summer to replace the crankset under warranty, and didn't replace the crankset.

I want to swap the stock e13 34t chainring on my Trek Rail 7 Gen 2 for a 32t ring. My local trails are technical with lots of punchy climbs and granite. I find that I'm hardly ever in the smaller cogs and a smaller chainring helps with the trials moves that my local trails demand. If I swap the...

I carry a OneUp EDC pump with a multitool on my downtube. I've got a the pump mount bolted to the bottle cage mounts. I also carry a tube and Pedros tire levers in a Backcountry Research strap on the top tube near the seat tube. I've given up on trying to fit a bottle in the Trek Rail front...

I mulleted my Rail last week as an experiment. I really like how it handled, but ground clearance was a bit of an issue for me. My local trails are really technical with lots of granite, my motor guard was getting hung up constantly. I'm going to keep the 27.5" wheel that I built and swap it in...

I'd love to get a steel e-mtb hardtail with aggressive geometry similar to a Chromag Rootdown. I love picking technical lines apart on my current hardtails, and I also really enjoy what I can do on my Rail.

Another "standard", bummer.

The wheels are built with Chris King hubs. They are centerlock and the Rail doesn't play well with with centerlock.

That doesn't seem right. Are uou the original owner, is it the OEM fork?

The stock fork also had a tapered steerer. My Domain was damaged during assembly so I upgraded to the Zeb Ultimate before I picked the bike up.

Tapered steerer 1.5" - 1 1/8". I really like the PNW bars. I've been using them for a few years and I've got them on multiple bikes. They have just the right amount of rise and sweep IMO and they are in the sweet spot for compliance.

The quickest way to size a new chain (assuming that you haven't changed to a different sized cassette, chainring, or derailleur) is to lay the new chain out beside the old chain and remove links from the new chain. I do this when I'm working on my own bike. If I'm working on a customers bike I...

Is that Ohlins a TTX1 or TTX2?

If the cassette is SX or NX the freehub body will be HG. Only 12 speed Shimano uses Microspline. You may be thinking about XD, which is used on GX/XO/XX cassettes.

This is my Gen 2 Rail 7. Ive made a few changes since I picked up last winter. I've swapped out the SRAM DB8 brakes for Shimano SLX 4 piston brakes. The dropper post is a 170mm PNW Loam with a PNW Loam lever. Diety Black Cat pedals, Diety seatpost clamp, PNW Range handlebar, Ergon GE1 grips, Zeb...

I'm riding a size large Rail 7 Gen 2. I ride a lot of technical singletrack with steep, rooty descents. I'm currently in the market for a new rear shock. The Deluxe+ is ok, but It's limitations really show when braking on technical downhills. I've narrowed my choices down to the Ohlins TTX22...

Hi. I'm a new member from Nova Scotia, Canada. I've been mountain biking since the early 90s. I'm also a bike mechanic and bike fitter, and I lace up a wheel or two every now and then. Injuries brought me to eMTB. I'm interested in learning more about eMTB maintenance, and squeezing as much...
