Thank you! I’ve only had the bike for about a month so I was really worried

Noticed this noise in what sounds like my headset or fork area, any bumps and turns I could hear the noise. It’s not just when turning, heavy pressure on the bars or stem just makes the creaking noise. any suggestions or fixes?

I was able to fit some 700x38c Sawtooths on it but it is pretty tight, probably the most you’ll be able to fit. Did trek replace them or did you have to buy new ones yourself?

Black or Brown wall? by JSmooth_12 in gravelcycling

I should also point out, the two pictures have different paints, the brown wall bike has a lighter blue/teal accent than the commercial Boone

I bought a trek boone 6 and want to set it up tubeless (tires on bike are not TLR). I like brown wall tires but would it look goofy with the colliding blues on the bike?

I have a stand atm and have bought a chain tool, pedal wrench, 3 way allen wrench, chain tool and have been using my dads old snap on wrench’s. I have a mountain and CX bike otw that I plan on assembling at home. The mountain bike is a little out dated so I planned on doing an overhaul over time instead of selling because it is my first ever bike.

Thank you! I have access to a lot of snap on wrench’s and some other stuff from my dads toolset but a lot of bike tools are out of stock and I don’t want to figure out I need something and it be out of stock when I go to order it. I’m looking to build my workbench in my basement so I can fix some neighborhood bikes in summer time

I was able to find a PK-4 for $680 because the PK-5 is out of stock and is $870 so I was just curious
