    2021 Trek Rail 7 - Brake Upgrade

    I'm saying that it sounds like Doom got a hell of a lot of riding in. (y) But yes I do worry that my rotors may be getting a bit thin with the sintered pads I'm running & the amount of sustained heavy braking I'm doing at the moment.

    Rail battery fell out while riding!

    That sounds like a cunning plan. I'm strill unsure about the new alignment plate though, have others had them retrofitted & are they free or you have to pay for them?

    Thumb pain.

    Have you had a crash or off lately? Quite often the thumb is the last thing left hanging onto the bike and can damage the tendons attached to it. I have found that the initial injury is masked by other factors like the adrenaine boost & more apparent scratches & the effects only crop up when...

    Unanswered SLX M7100 shifter fixing screw size?

    Hello does anyone know what size the screw is that stops the shifter from twisting on its mount? I have lost one previously but luckily had an old laptop that I could rob a screw from. Is it 2mm? Currently have a piece of dowel wedged in between the bar & shifter but could possibly do better...

    Rail battery fell out while riding!

    When did this new alignment bracket come out & is it a recall type arrangement or freebie or do you have to talk loudly at the bike shop staff until they throw one at you to get you out of the shop?

    Yeti Power!!!!!!

    Well... um... yeah. I guess I mean the masses of other non - trek giant specialised scott focus SC Merida companies. Actually yeah I'd put Yeti in the boutique type category in that I don't see many around & they're usually a lot more expensive than the other generic brands

    Yeti Power!!!!!!

    I often think smaller boutique brands must curse the popularity of Emtbing as they must struggle to keep up with the refining, development & production of their analogue bikes let alone now have to do the R&D to try to "better" the already great emtbs from mainstream companies. I mean apart from...

    My Rail 7 got a nose job.....

    How do they cope with tight corners? I know it's a big optical illusion but the the head angle looks very slack in comparison with the fox
