    Megneg on medium rail

    Someone put one on a medium 5… Does your shock have any volume spacers? I'd add one or two before spending money on a MegNeg.

    Emtb Lite v Tour +

    I don't think I'll go back to EMTB Lite - Tour+ is giving me over 35 miles, and 5000ft vertical on rough terrain. This is a typical winter ride (elevation in feet, distance in miles)

    Brand new 9.9 1 mile riding and frames is damaged due to rear mech hanger

    Perhaps because the derailleur hanger goes through both stays and they want to make sure the seat stay is sound.

    Brand new 9.9 1 mile riding and frames is damaged due to rear mech hanger

    This video is about the damage caused when the derailleur hanger moves toward the back when not torqued to spec. Something caused the OP's hanger to move forward, which means incorrect installation or it was VERY loose.

    Brand new 9.9 1 mile riding and frames is damaged due to rear mech hanger

    It would have been installed incorrectly or was VERY loose to rotate forward - either way, it's on the shop/Trek to make it right.

    Emtb Lite v Tour +

    I had my local shop install TOUR+ while performing the battery firmware update. It does begin at ECO level - switching back and forth between TOUR+ and ECO on a gentle grade made no difference at all. When the trail got steeper, and whenever I checked, EMTB always gave more assist than TOUR+...

    Bontrager freewheel.

    My drive side end cap still requires a tool to remove it. I may ditch the o-ring next time it's off.

    Experience of Rail 5 from exisiting owners

    I swapped the (terrible) tires and went tubeless before it left the shop. The wheels aren't great, but I'll ride them until they break. Slowing the rebound on the fork at least make it useable until I replace it. I haven't done it, but frame wrap or even good clear tape on vulnerable areas is a...

    Try slowing your rebound setting. If the fork rebounds too quickly, it will add to the harshness on small bumps. I'd start with 2 clicks from closed, and go to 3 or 4 if it packs up.
