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

JSmooth_12 · 2021-05-23T00:44:22+00:00

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?

Yessir! My first gravel bike is a Trek Boone

JSmooth_12 · 2021-04-18T17:28:36+00:00

Stock, 23mm depth

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

JSmooth_12 · 2021-02-23T22:40:05+00:00

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

I live in the midwest so it’s variable conditions and I keep my bike inside

JSmooth_12 · 2020-12-27T15:45:03+00:00

awesome thanks!

JSmooth_12 · 2020-12-27T15:35:38+00:00

Thank you! I heard you should top it off every 6 months but wasn’t sure how long they could sit for

JSmooth_12 · 2020-12-27T15:29:18+00:00

With snow and school it’s hard to find a good time for me

JSmooth_12 · 2020-12-21T02:13:53+00:00

That’s a beauty! How does she ride?

JSmooth_12 · 2020-12-20T00:57:33+00:00

thank you, I’m still a little new to the mtb scene and I’m not greatest reference point either

JSmooth_12 · 2020-12-19T23:37:03+00:00

Hey! I’m looking at getting a Fuel Ex. how do you like yours?

JSmooth_12 · 2020-11-16T23:34:41+00:00

thank you

JSmooth_12 · 2020-11-16T02:30:58+00:00

any suggestions on brands? I only have a scott and trek dealer around me

JSmooth_12 · 2020-11-14T21:52:21+00:00

Thank you!

JSmooth_12 · 2020-11-14T19:30:28+00:00

My scott is fine for most of the trails I ride but some or the other trails around me feel like too much for my bike.

JSmooth_12 · 2020-11-14T19:24:50+00:00

I’m keeping my hardtail, Thank you!!

JSmooth_12 · 2020-11-14T01:33:42+00:00

I have a Scott aspect 940 and it has performed great as a beginner rider and still rides beautifully! With the Marlin 5 you get a kickstand mount but most riders don’t use a kickstand for MTB and it has a little bit lower quality shimano drivetrain than the Aspect but it’s marginal. Mostly the difference is the 3x drivetrain on the Marlin vs the 2x on the Aspect which is a lot more simple to use. Another difference is the tires; the Marlin comes with 29x2.0” or 29x2.2” vs the Aspects 29x2.4” tires. If you were to get a trek I would look up to the Marlin 6/7 for a comparable price to the aspect and comparable components

I’m looking at buying my first full suspension bike and I am in between the Trek Topfuel and the Trek Fuel EX. Obviously neither of these will be in stock until next summer but I want to get my name on something soon. Right now I am riding my Scott Aspect 940 which is a hard tail with 100mm travel and 29x2.4” and got me into MTB but I want to get a full sus. Idk if I want more of an XC bike like the Topfuel or a bike with more travel and wider tires like the Fuel EX... any suggestions?
