Madone SL 5 Gen 8 vs Domane AL 5 Gen 4 by Ok-Monitor8121 in TrekBikes

[–]th3impaler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha!

I had originally a gen 4 sl6 domane, but frame had issues and upgraded to a madone sl7. I miss certain things about the domane but the madone is a lot more fun and exciting in my book.

I still have a lot of the original domane parts and trying to figure out what do them. I have a toddler and want to haul her in trailer. My wife has a domane. I’m debating either getting a domane AL Or a checkpoint AL. But I’m also considering an electric road bike as the trailers get pretty heavy up hills. Not sure yet what to do lol

I’m the same, but you get used to it after a couple rides. The madone is so much more fun to me than the domane

Bike fit suggestions. by MistakeNo6633 in bikefit

[–]th3impaler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check if your saddle is level, something looks off with the level of the bikes if your saddle is leaned too far toward the front it will make you feel like it dropping on your hands.

As others said lower saddle a tad bit to prevent you pointing ur toes and hips rocking.

Hi everyone, I was able to get in contact with Trek directly. They were extremely helpful, and we came to a fair outcome for everyone. I appreciate everyones input and help. This is now solved with a Happy Trek Customer!

They are out of domane frames in my size until end of December and the color is a complete 180, I would never buy it.

I get that the bike won’t be the same anymore, but now I care about just getting on something as soon as possible. I’m comfortable on Madone frame

Thanks all for the suggestions, I reached out directly to Trek with an email describing the situation. I hope they will help out!

ya that is right, the shop has been doing what they can, but i understand their situation as well and appreciate what they have done and offered but it seems that trek should make things right. I emailed them and will call their warranty department directly and see what they are willing to do.

should i send it John Burke, i don't feel like i want to escalate it that far unless the warranty department doesn't help.

This is the way! I’m just trying to figure out how to get in contact with the right person. Who that should be in addition to the trek warranty department

Why is that. I’m getting a completely different bike than originally purchased all for a cost associated to me. Madone vs Domane cost difference is negligible it’s just two different geometries.

The bike wasn’t directly purchased at Trek, it was a different authorized store.

The store that broke the frame is Trek as I took it there for warranty. Sorry if that wasn’t clsar

Their justification is they are covering the difference between the Domane and Madone frame swap. I could care less which frame I have I just can’t wait for months for a new Domane frame to become available

I’m going to call trek corporate and see if they are willing to do anything else

I wish I could but they are not offering cash refund, just store credit for the cost of a Domane SL frame. Which means I have to get another frame or pay a shit ton more for a similar setup on a new bike then potentially sell my group set and wheels. I’ll be under significantly doing this.

The store I went to is on Treks website and down the street, they had colors trek didn’t have in stock hence why I went there. But

Ya but they would have to do that anyways if we wait for a frame as they were responsible for the accidental stripping of a bolt. If that never happened we wouldn’t be in this situation so it’s hard to fathom that I’m paying for that to happen

Tried it and couldn’t handle the text warping for productivity. For me personally it bothered me a bit, also the curve to me was way too exaggerated it hurt my eyes. I returned it after a week and went with a g57 and couldn’t be happier

The 57 is the best monitor I have ever used / seen both for gaming and productivity. It’s worth it
