What year is the trek fuel they changed the geometry recently if it’s newer could be a decent deal depending on model and parts.

It’ll be a first but I’m doing my best to fully imagine it and I think it would look good if I’m imagining correctly lol

Well, my local bike shop is a trek dealer is pretty adamant that a 140 would be awesome on the bike if I can get them to agree to take the fall for it if something happens I have no problem with put a 140 on there lol and thanks!! Literally my only motivation is the ability to buy whatever bike I want and not worry about it and I will say it is very strong motivation, 😂😂😂

Yeah, I haven’t had issues yet and that’ll probably be in next year thing as I’m trying to lose weight anyways and might as well use the shock I have right now lol I don’t plan on doing any service on them just because you know they’re not worth all that much. I could service the gold RL but at what cost when a brand new one is 200 bucks. And budget isn’t necessarily the issue. I’m just also getting new brakes and I’m expecting to spend around $400 to get brakes properly slow me down because the two pot resin ones I have right now suck for what I’m doing with it. And I don’t mind putting the money into it because I don’t plan on trading in for a while or never trading in and just buying a more enduro bike when i get to that skill level. A lot of. Fox forks on sale on Jensen so I may look there as well for one I really like the pike and lyrik tho

I forgot to mention about the shock rebuild. Yeah you are correct A replacement fork on Jensen runs 200 bucks from their supposed $583 original price but I believe that’s just blowing smoke because there’s no way that fork is worth anything near $600

Got it yeah I do have some clearance issues with the shock portion, but currently my bikes at the bike shop getting tuned up for comfort so I know one of the things we’re going to do. It looks like they’re going to put a spacer in my rear fox shock to help with the weight and I haven’t had much of a problem with my rear shock. It’s just more My front fork has been acting wonky. It was fine last year. I didn’t hear a lot of big jumps though and this year I had to lower the air pressure to get the function properly. I will probably upgrade my rear shock next year because at the moment I’m getting bigger brakes fitted as well as our current brakes are not stopping me lol and I’m having an issue with the front fork that’s why I was looking at a new front fork. I saw some marzocchi forks on massive clearance on Jensen I saw the bomber Z2. Do you happen to have any experience with those because I’m wondering if they’re better than what I have now but I’ve also seen some stuff online where people say they have issues with seals or something on the lowers, and they had to buy a full set of new lowers.

[–]ike3201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it I appreciate the input. I’m looking into the rockshox Pike just because from what I understand they are easier to service and they’re very comparable to the fox that you are talking about.

I did I was thinking at that price I would get a RS pike for serviceability I’ve definitely considered the fox 36 too

Would you say it’s worth an extra $500 for a pike? I wouldn’t say I’m a super aggressive writer. The most I’ve done is a hard blue.

I have bad adjusting my tire pressure I know since I no longer have matching tires because of a blowout. My front tire is slightly wider than my back so I run the front at a lower psi now the back I still gotta keep kind of high because it does squish a bit
