    Anyone Using Spacers to Fit a 36T Chainring

    I am waiting on delivery of the boost spider but it is stuck in Chicago customs for 12 days now ... Ugh! I found black washers, they were ordered the same day and arrived last week. Can't wait to assemble and try this setup. I'll post pics and a review once it is all together! dixie600mhz...

    Anyone Using Spacers to Fit a 36T Chainring

    Also, I ordered the wrong spider. The 50mm boost version arrived today. I should have gotten the one below it or 53mm boost. I am finding that 53mm FSA spider is out of stock almost everywhere (I did find it in Europe with a 2 week ship back to Texas).

    What about this option? Pretty sure the 36T has a 53mm chainline. e*thirteen Bosch Gen 4 Aluminum Direct Mount Chainring | Trek Bikes

    Anyone Using Spacers to Fit a 36T Chainring

    The washers are kinda visible in two of his pictures above. There are three washers per lug (I think) 2 on one side and 1 on the inside. His other picture shows this better.

    Update: I just placed the order. I'm 99% sure these are the right parts. Update #2: I ordered the wrong boost spider. I got the 50mm by mistake. My bad. :( ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to do this...

    Using a bike stand...

    My local bike shop had this bar for $35. I like that it is all metal except for the ends which feel like dense rubber. I think it will do the job just fine on my rack. That Feedback Sports rack is awesome BTW. https://www.swagman.net/products/dlx-bar-adapter?_pos=8&_sid=8bf37093a&_ss=r It's...

    I noticed there are a couple of models of this Saris Bar. Some ore not rated to support more than 35 lbs. If you can, please reply back with a link to the one you bought. Thanks.

    Nice response! Wonder why mastakilla didn't get the same kind of response.

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    On my Rail 7, I am comparing the Purion speed to what is recorded in the Strava app on my phone, tracking via GPS. The speeds are not identical, but are close. I think Strava app shows I'm going a little faster than the Purion. Mine seems fine, yours obviously does not. Perhaps you got a...

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    Something happened to me this weekend. I was going along and tried to accelerate but power assist seemed to cut off around 22-23 mph. So, I held the - button and turned it off. Then held the - button again to turn it back on. I noticed the speed was set lower than the upper 20s mph limit I...

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    I map with Strava, so the speed came from Strava. There is a right hand corner at the bottom of this hill and I was trying to be safe, so looking ahead and only glancing at the Purion display sporadically. BTW, the display was a bit slower, like 1mph.

    You should send it back, it sounds defective.

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    It warmed up to 55 degrees F, so I decided to head over for that downhill stretch. I ran it twice and was able to get up to 32.7 mph (52.63 kph) on the second attempt. My pedal cadence was just too high on my Rail 7 to go much faster. The motor still felt like it was on as it didn't feel like...

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    On this afternoon's ride, I got up to 31.4 mph (50.53 kmh) with motor assist still there. I exceeded the 27.9 mph (44.9 kmh) limit about a dozen times, but the gearing on my Rail 7 is such that my cadence is too high to go much faster. There is a big downhill road near here that I think I can...

    Rail (625Wh) Trek RIB Battery Alignment Procedure - Updated

    Mitch, I have a 2021 Rail 7. The battery will not come out with just the turn of the key. However, I was able to get it out by removing all the screws once. Is this new fix something I should look into? What is the cost for the new RIB system?

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    I've just joined you all, derestricting my "second hand / no warranty" Rail 7 with a Volspeed 4 tuner. I did a mini test ride (1/2 mile?) and exceeded the US 20mph limit (up to 24?). It felt great even though it was a little cold tonight for riding. I look forward to a longer trip tomorrow or...

    deristriction worry

    I am the second owner, got lucky in July and found a Rail 7 (Bosch). I called Trek and confirmed that as a second owner, I do not have any warranty on the motor. If it fails, it will be up to me to pay for the replacement. Having said that, I think the derestriction should be OK for me, I'm...
