All good stuff. I too am new to the sport. Absolutely love it!! Just a quick word on the helmet…. I was a part time user. If I was riding more difficult trails I’d wear one. Was on the easy single track this weekend. Moment of inattention and caught side of tree. Landed 15 feet away and on my dome. As luck would have it.. I was wearing the helmet. Dusted myself off, checked the bike, and continued my ride. Anyway, ride well and ALWAYS wear the melon armor.
Thanks to all who took the time. It’ s one of those questions you kind of know the answer to but you still look to the old heads for affirmation. Thanks again.
Fork rebounds ok. Not sure about a "leak". There is oil left on the fork after riding but haven’t really noticed any leak. Not sure it is supposed to have oil or lubricant visible on fork after riding. None of my previous Treks have shown this. Preload is definitely a bust. If it works, I can’t tell. Fork claims 100mm of travel but seriously doubt it gets that. Not sure I necessarily need true 100mm of travel but that is what the fork claims to get. Everything I have read and compared it to points to fact that fork is pretty much a bust, but I’m thinking just ride it ’til it quits then look at a better one.
