    Trek Rail with Fox DHX2 coil

    The 61mm on a 60mm stroke shock would only give you 1mm of preload before binding. I would go 67mm to be on the safe side. I run 65mm stroke with 67mm 700lb spring. www.tftuned.com has them in stock since I don’t think ur in USA. Just google fox 700lb spring and a bunch should show up

    Trek Rail with Fox DHX2 coil

    700lbs. Depending on the Stroke of your rear shock, you can use 700x61mm with standard stroke, or 700x67mm if extended. I’d buy quick as I’m finding them instock when I google them….they were out of stock just about everywhere a few months ago.

    My Rail, Resting on Stuff

    I noticed but have never been to that spot yet. I did a night ride out that way Monday night up to the top of Slacker Hill from the Tennessee Valley lot. Great View (Rail resting on the ground in the dark lol)

    Anyone have issues with their cranks coming loose?

    I did the same thing and swapped to160mm e13 Crankarms but just torqued by feel and never had them come loose. Interesting that ur driveside was the wobbly side as its usually the non drive side falling off. I did have the original 165mm ND side fall off once.

    Trek Rail with Fox DHX2 coil

    The Stock RS Deluxe Select+ shock due to it's lack of tunability is a POS compared to the 21 Fox Factory DHX2. DHX2 of course feels more supple , traction is improved, and w/ my set up, since i'm running a longer stroke, the end stroke feels more progressive in the area of extended travel.

    Has anyone bought an Ebike without riding one ?

    I did, I was searching for one but nothing in stock. Came across a 7 month used Rail 7 and pulled the trigger. As a big guy I was concerned about battery life but I don't ride in eMTB or Turbo much at all. Mainly Eco/Tour(eMTB lite) which gives me a good workout and 20-25miles of 3-5k ft of...

    for Fox, you have to remove the plastic Igus bushings, and push out the DU bushings out of the stock Rockshox to install into the Fox shock

    What is this noise?

    Thanks. I figured it out. I had broke a spoke on trail and the remaining inch of spoke at the hub wedged into the cassette locking the hub from freecoasting which made the cranks sound as if the were spinning backwards...hopefully that didn’t cause any damage, as I rode the final 6 miles like...
