    Hey sorry I can’t answer your question but may I ask which 155mm cranks you purchased? I am unsure if I need to find TQ specific cranks for compatibility or if just ISIS is sufficient. Anyway, please link me I’d love to find some shorter cranks as I’m mulleted but have considered putting back on...

    can you point me in the right direction regarding obtaining this offset bushing? I have XR4 in 27.5 x 2.4 in the rear which is also giving up a little bit of tire volume height. Anything closer to 336mm I could definitely be okay with as that is what I was used to before with 165mm cranks. Thanks!

    Yes I changed my air spring on my 22 Pike Ultimate to 160 and high mode. Fox Float X shock stock on the 9.7. What’s your measured BB height? I’m right at 13” to middle of crank bolt or 330mm. Lower than my 5010 27.5 in low mode haha (336mm)

    Sheesh, I hit my chainring today, that's wild how the frame cracked like that after an impact to their chainring. I am loving the mullet but the low BB is definitely a problem for me. I only hit the chainring once, but have had several scrapes here and there. I am ratcheting as best I can, still...

    I finally had my first ride on the 9.7 and wow it was so fun. The motor feeling was a little strange at first but it really started feeling natural and fun as I kept pushing. I had a modified level 2 with more assist and response and I really enjoyed it for the rather chill FL trails I rode...

    Hm, so does this spider allow to use a standard Sram chainring? I was confused what is the mounting style of this TQ motor's chainring. I understand the cranks are ISIS? Still learning a bunch for the bottom bracket area..

    Alright I’m finally ready to post my 9.7 Pennyflake build. Have not even taken it out on the trails yet but I think I’m pretty much ready. Using many parts I’m swapping out from my 5010 as I plan to use the Fuel EXe for all of my riding. Weight without pedals and Oneup steerer tube tool: 39.86...

    Oh man good to know. I might see if I can snag some 160mm cranks then since I am mulleting.

    Thanks. Visual help’s unfortunately my cheap vice and “soft jaws” don’t hold the end cap tight enough when I’m pulling and rocking. I am tightening down a bit but afraid to do any more damage to the end cap. Meh

    Thank you. May I ask how much the max was? I’m eyeing one used and don’t want to pay more than what a new sale was at lol. Otherwise I’ll just get a 31.6 for under $200. Thanks again for your input.

    When planning to swap out a bunch of components buying the low spec is the way to go. I considered doing that but found the 9.7 to be relatively good value (and I liked the matte pennyflake) for a few pieces I wanted to keep and others I could sell to make up the $1K difference. I had planned to...

    I assume you have the bontrager hug with microspline, how did you get the end cap off? Normally these perfectly round ones pull right off (like the DT Swiss) I cannot for the life of me yank it off, even in a vice and pulling up on the wheel lol. How did you use the smooth channel lock to remove...

    Fuel EXe so who's ordered the Trek Fuel EXe?

    Did you get the deore 4-pot (M6120) brakes and Deore levers then? My 9.7 was spec'd accurately aside from the nicer upgrade to SLX 4-pot (M7120) brakes and SLX Lever (M7100). I've seen this done on other youtuber 9.7 video.

    from what I am reading regarding the e13 chainring it is compatible with 11/12 speed speed systems so if moving to AXS (RD/controller) it would be only require a cassette and chain from the same manufacturer i.e. sram eagle/chain or shimano cassette/chain. also the rear freehub to match the...

    I think you ended up being pretty close to correct. Trek seems to have updated their numbers to be closer in line with your bb heights. 341 high and 334 low

    When I finally decided to remove the access cover, it made things a LOT easier all around. I finally located the plastic cable guide, the Trek person who put my bike together did not use that and so the dropper housing was tight against the downtube and battery. It made removing the battery VERY...

    Hello all happy new owner. Been making some adjustments on my 9.7 Medium before taking it out. Need some tips on running new dropper post cable housing. I removed the battery, which was really hard to do, I think the cable was snagged too as I couldn’t pull the cable to move it at all when...
