Dude, it is stories like yours that make me want to ride faster, harder, and stronger. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
My Trek remedy 9.9 frame is made in USA. It had a sticker, too! 😛

But if you don’t own an old hardtail, you have no other bikes in for review, and you’re riding with your friends so they don’t have bikes to spare? 😉 😼[/quote:2frtgirq]
You, sir, need some new friends. 😆 😎A friends bike. Your old hardtail. Or a bike you’re test riding for ST… 😆
"dozzerboy" wrote[quote="GimmeAraise":1am28xd3]Dose anyone know if the stealth reverb is compatible with the new fuel ex frames, like the remedy??
That would be a negative, ghostrider. The 120mm travel bikes weren’t really designed with dropper seat post in mind. You can use a normal reverb, though.[/quote:1am28xd3]
Did you see this?I would also take a look at gravity dropper seatposts. Most bomb proof design.
"maddslacker" wroteIs that even possible?
Yup… They are both 100mm wide. Unlike the 20mm thru axle which is 110mm wide.
Oh and seen someone wondering why there front wheel was loose when they had a 15mm front hub mounted on a 9mm qr fork
Hmmmm… Rigid fork, singlespeed, flat handlebars! Just kidding. 😆
Now to be serious. Seen someone riding on a broken frame, a rigid fork on a full suspension frame, a coaster brake mounted to a decent mountain bike that was converted to singlespeed. Powerwashing it! Oh lord! Seen someone doing it. Poor bike… Riding a dh bike on a XC trail.

I think he was asking about the stealth cable routing. The stealth goes through a small hole in the seat tube near the BB and runs into the bottom of the seatpost. The regular reverb hose mounts a the top of the lower. To answer the question, I’m not sure. Let me ask around and see.
Trek fan boy here. 😎
Pretty much all of the big brand medium and low end frames are made by giant’s factories.
Honestly, I don’t get the "Made in USA" hype. Building overseas is cheaper and is as good as long as quality control is good. I will buy local stuff that will go right back into my community. But, if you want to support USA, expect higher prices because people in the USA make more than the $2.50 an hour that they make overseas.
Don’t get me wrong. I Love the USA! I say the pledge everyday. Just get some common sense people….
*rant over*
"Loaf" wroteOther winters can get down to -40C, so generally people scurry whenever they’re outside.
Damn! I don’t blame them for scurrying! 😮
This is mounting biking we are talking about here. Not inching your way across obstacles…
Jared, you and I could go back and forth for days about this. Let’s agree to disagree. 😉Personally, I would go ahead and buy them. But it is your decision.
I soul do the complete opposite of what Jared is saying. I would get them as soon as you can. The main attraction to clipless is the ability to put power to the pedals throughout the entire pedal stroke. The sooner you get them, the quicker you’ll learn, and the more efficient you will ride.
Talk about 2 for the price of one! How does the tranny ride? Looks like a sweet setup.
"ollysj" wroteSad bc the brand could disappear in the near future. Look what Trek did to Schwinn, Klein, Gary Fisher or Bontrager….
What do you mean what trek did with fisher? They bought it to keep it alive. Fisher wouldn’t exist without trek. Also, how many people ride treks? Lance Armstrong has…
5′, 9" and I weigh 135lbs. 😼
Yeah. Good old QC and what it used to be! 😆
How long have you had your’s?
😆 I had one at my shop and it broke within 5 weeks of use….
