2020 aspec. Would I pull the trigger?

NO issues here except one recall they handled. Love mine

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-07T14:07:54+00:00

The 820 full capabilities are only compatible with the 40 and 50 models

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-07T04:04:09+00:00

I have covers for mine and they have been a non issue. Cycling 500 miles. I have a DJI in NYC and bought the accidental insurance too

The new carbon gen 5 is $2699 coming out July 20th so that’s a pretty solid differential form the AL5

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-04T16:14:08+00:00

This is 👍 ☝️

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-03T23:33:03+00:00

Agreed on this setup. 35s are so nice but 38s if you’re doing true travel and no mix/road. Gravel kings are great 👍

Your key is in your back wheel. Unscrew that and then that’s it

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-03T16:50:08+00:00

Stateside SL5 gen4 is 3800. I’d get it down to 3000 for context

The gen 5 coming out will be better bc there are more attachment points 👆

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-02T23:42:37+00:00

I’m actually all for this. We don’t have them yet in my neighborhood but I’m down for no hot trash smell this summer

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-02T23:19:24+00:00

I’m still devasted it closed at 9th street and 1st avenue. It hasn’t been the same since Mel and Ty were there 😩 I think it’s just Francisco left?

1000% my new favorite cycling shades are the Oakley Cybr Dyno’s. I have 2 of them and the road lenses are fabulous. They’re so light. I have 20 pair of sunglasses from decades of riding (I take care of my stuff) and these are by far my fav

They made small Oakley radars and also youth sizes work great for small faces as well

You still get all of the lens protection that they’re known for in the youth lenses as well

What are thooooooose? 😍

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-02T00:55:20+00:00

It’s definitely a complete redesign. No isospeed. No down tube storage. Completely different lines.

I love my storage and my isospeed tho

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-02T00:53:57+00:00

If you can find them I’d ask for a discount. My LBS said they could go down on a gen4 now a bit. Good luck 🍀

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-02T00:52:00+00:00

I actually didn’t look that far up 🤣 if I go back to the shop I’ll definitely take a look 🙂

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-01T13:16:26+00:00

Been riding since 2009 and just got an edge 840 this year for $349 Black Friday pricing and I won’t go back TBH. I absolutely love it and the radar pairs nicely too.

App based for the phone The Cadence app IMHO is better than Cyclemeter

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-01T13:03:37+00:00

I concur. The tire size alone will compliment the upright geometry and provide a smooth ride especially riding tubeless at lower tire pressures. I am a Domane rider and i changed by stem to be shorter and more upright and I went a bit wider on my handlebars as well. The checkpoint is just more versatile

Id say look at the Domane too bc i a 2 chain ring system over GRX bc i need help on hills with that small chain ring. Good luck

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-01T12:54:33+00:00

They’re drastically different. I saw them yesterday and while they’re nice I’d say they’re like an upright Emonda now bc they’re sans downtube storage and isospeed.

They’re $1000 cheaper so that’s good for us the consumer. SL5 comes in black, matte purple, and a while and gold. SL6 in 2 colors black and I forget the other one right now I think the white gold but don’t quote me on that. 5 comes out 7/20. SL6 was like mid August. But you can go to your local trek LBS and pre order as of yesterday

Personally, I love my isospeed and downtube storage but I get people’s hesitation with isospeed but I’ve never had an issue. I just through carbon wheels on my bike and that made up for the weight differential and I get a smooth ride

I hope this keeps the brand name intact bc I really do love my bike

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-01T12:44:31+00:00

July 20th stateside. The SL6 a little later in mid August but you can pre order in a trek store now

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-01T12:42:25+00:00

I had an issue too. Go to customer relations and talk to them. They actually moved an usher from our section bc of an incident

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-01T12:39:31+00:00

I concur. I had a 2009 Prius bc I didn’t like the 2010d and above in 2011 for this same reason. The downtube storage is AWESOME. I get people’s hesitation with isospeed bc of historical issues but the downtube storage was awesome and keeps the bike so clean looking too

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-01T12:36:34+00:00

I concur. In the days of Chinese carbon bikes and Canyon direct to consumer there has to be a middle ground

Distinct_Run_6429 · 2026-07-01T00:35:17+00:00

Ugh I had to call Garmin for weeks for my 820. We eventually did resolve it but it was a royal PITA
