    Trek Rail cable routing - bottom bracket area

    Reviving this thread. I also have the cross over cables and am wondering if straightening them out will make pressing the shifter less stiff. If I disconnect my derailleur my shifter still has some pretty substantial resistance. I'm getting a blister on my thumb from riding too much. Has anyone...

    9.8XT keeps cutting out… no error messages

    I get a cut out with an error '603' quite often. I don't think mine is vibration related. I'm waiting on the LBS getting back to me with what Bosch advise. Hopeing I don't have to drop the bike off. I ride 4+ times a week.

    Buy the 22 Rail 9 or wait for the 9.8XT?

    Once I went to the XT drivetrain I'll never go back to SRAM. Never miss a shift with the XT.

    Will this fit?

    You are asking will this fit without details of what you need it to fit? Not trying to be mean but just pointing out we can't help without a little more info.

    YT Decoy 700WH battery

    Three show stopper problems with the decoy. 1. Proprietary battery and not off the shelf replacement ready 2. Battery about two years behind in capacity and getting left further behind each day 3. Doesn't have the Bosch drive system I can only assume there's someone at YT that knows this...

    good work stand for Rail ?

    Park Tool PCS-10 works great for me and clamps directly onto the frame. I don't use the seat post anymore when mounting to the stand.

    If you BUY an EBIKE because you Need it, read this first.

    Can somebody post pics of the actual assembly. I know there's a drawing but it would be cool to see what this looks like off the bike.

    Charge Port Cover Issues

    I have a 2021 rail 9.8XT and the flapper lasted about two weeks. Now it's permanently taped shut. Please find whoever it was in the company that made such a poor design and give them a nice hard kick to the nuts.

    Trek Rail with Fox DHX2 coil

    Zeb select plus that came stock on the 2021 9.8XT. BTW, it came on the bike bone dry. Issues from day 1. Now it's clunking like crazy.

    Trek Rail with Fox DHX2 coil

    Yeah it's making me feel like that Zeb is the shittiest suspension I've ever had. Rear is plush and smooth. Zeb just can't do it for me. No matter what, I'm still getting wrist pump and numb hands. Don't get it on any of my other bikes.

    Trek Rail with Fox DHX2 coil

    I understand the concern. That pic was taken with the bump stop still in and no spring, bike fully loaded down. I was worried about it making contact so kept an eye on it. When I used a 450 spring and no damping, on some bigger jumps I was able to bottom out the shock completely (metal on metal...

    Trek Rail with Fox DHX2 coil

    Finally finished the DHX2 install. 230x65 fits perfect. My total riding weight fully loaded is 215 lbs. After trying three springs I ended up with a fox SLS 475 spring to get sag at 32%. With compression fully open I still haven't quite bottomed out with the 475, but sag was at least 36% using...

    Hey Richie, can you post a pic of the actual issue? I'm curious to see what they look like on the bike.

    Trek Rail Coil Shock Spring Rate vs Total Rider Weight

    Using a 450lb Fox SLS spring with a 2022 DHX2 and 230mm x 65mm stroke I'm at 36% sag. I see on the TFtuned calculated is says ebikes should add in motor and battery weight. I think I should have used total rider weight ~230lbs instead of 210. I'm ordering a 500-550 sprindex now. First...

    Trek Rail Coil Shock Spring Rate vs Total Rider Weight

    Richie are you using 57.5mm stock travel? I ordered a 450 spring for 65mm travel. The shock and spring are here. I'm now into day 10 waiting on the mounting bolts comíng from my lbs. Once I try the 450 spring I might buy a springdex. If 450 isn't dead nuts on I'll go for a new springdex in the...

    Trek Rail Coil Shock Spring Rate vs Total Rider Weight

    Guys, I'm about to go to a DHX2. My total riding weight with kit is ~210lbs. It looks like the ideal spring rate would be 450 based on the calculators. If you are running a coil shock, can you post your total rider weight and spring rate you are using? I'm going to go with the DHX2 230x65 and...
