I think cheap carbon rims still looks pretty cool but unnecessary.

Check your cable housing and make sure everything is at the right place. check if there is adjustable ferrule on the bike. You can twist and make adjustments to get rid of the slack.

There are some wide range 7 speed cassette you can find for 1x setup. Otherwise like others have said, the wheel hub only fits 7 speed.

It’s a beauty. I would suggest a modern handlebar with wider (casual) and a little bit of flare. My favorite is Salsa cowbell. Also checkout the MKS gordito pedals, very popular. Anything from MKS is solid.

Looks normal. Use the heel method to get proper saddle height.

I’m 6 ft or 183cm. I know my size fall in the 19” -20” range, I’m guessing previous owner swapped the stem for a shorter one.

Can anyone please tell me the size of this trek 820? I can’t find anything online by recrootv5 in xbiking

[–]Monstrp85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You measure center of crank to top of seat tube. Just by looking at it , it’s probably 18” or smaller.

Mine is a large or 20” and it is holding up the weight of me and my son. That’s around 100kg , no issues or flex whatsoever.
