Took delivery of this Émonda SLR seven years ago at Waterloo.

Does anyone own a Madone gen 8 and size xs. I want to buy one but struggling with the look of the smaller Madones I find the slop is exaggerated. I always liked the look of the Treks but this time I’m not sure.

Folks is my seat post too high? I essentially have it at the max capability, so I know on paper it is fine.

However for the sake of safety and structure integrity when going over hard bumps or so, would this be a concern.

Basically wondering if i should order the longer seat post from Trek?

I built this for myself when I was buying my Trek. It turned out to be pretty useful, so I'm sharing it:

https://xxiaoweix.github.io/trek-price-finder/

It only lists bikes that are actually in stock at US shops. For each bike you see the cheapest shop first, and you can click to see every other shop that has it. Pick as many models, years, sizes, colors and states as you want, and click any column to sort. Your search is saved in the link, so you can bookmark it or send it to a friend. There's also a column for the lowest price I've seen for that bike anywhere in the US. The prices get updated once a week.

I use it to ask my local bike shop for a price match.

It covers Trek's 10 most popular models. If yours is one of them, just use the page. If you want a different model and know your way around GitHub, feel free to fork it and do whatever you want with it: https://github.com/xxiaoweix/trek-price-finder. It is even easier if you use Muse or other AI agents.

It's just a personal project I made for my own use. It's free. No ads, no sign-up.

Anyone own a Trek Madone xs. I want to buy one but I’m struggling with the slope of tube. On the smaller size of the Madone the slope seems exaggerated. Does it look bad?

Ok - I'm looking into my first road bike. The bottom line is that I really like Di2. Like really, really like it, but don't want a race geometry (e.g. X-Labs RS7). I really like the endurance geometry of the Trek Domane AL 5. Would I be insane for getting the base model Domane and doing a Di2 upgrade? That might give me the desired geometry and flexability for wheel size etc. without going Nuts-0 with a full carbon Domane. I don't know all that much about 'what's appropriate' in the road riding world, but I want something that is generally comfortable and that I want to ride. Happy to hear how crazy I am or if people would support this kind of endeavour.

Olá a todos,

Eu pedalo uma Madone SL 6 Gen 8 (guidão Bontrager Comp de alumínio original + mesa RCS Pro) e estou treinando para o Ironman Cascais 2027. Posso conseguir um destes dois conjuntos integrados de guidão/mesa:

1. Bontrager Aeolus RSL VR-C: https://www.trekbikes.com/pt/pt_PT/equipamentos/componentes-de-ciclismo/avanços-e-acessórios-para-bicicletas/guiador/avanço-integrados/bontrager-aeolus-rsl-vr-c-handlebar/stem--factory-overstock/p/44339/
2. Trek Aero RSL Road: https://www.trekbikes.com/pt/pt_PT/equipamentos/componentes-de-ciclismo/avanços-e-acessórios-para-bicicletas/guiador/avanço-integrados/guiador/avanço-integrado-trek-aero-rsl-road/p/48049/

Problema: A Trek diz que o Aero RSL Road NÃO é compatível com clip-ons e não lista a compatibilidade com clip-ons para o Aeolus.

Perguntas:

• Alguém já usou clip-ons de aerobar em algum desses guidões? O que vocês usaram e como foi a experiência? - Alguém já experimentou clip-ons do AliExpress com abraçadeiras de formato especial para mesas aerodinâmicas planas? Como este (a abraçadeira serve para mesas de 40 a 50 mm de largura): https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExPIU4K
• Alguém sabe a largura da parte superior próxima à mesa em algum dos guidões?
• Algum problema com rachaduras ou garantia?

O plano B é usar o de origem, sem ser aero, e usar um extensor com clip-ons de 31,8 mm. Essa é a melhor opção?

Obrigado!

My Madone sl7 gen 8 is as good as it gets for speed and endurance. More responsive and lighter on climbs than my previous Domane gen 4 sl6.

We are talking 3 years. The tires needed so much air, but it holds up great!

Today's my day to post a PSA to always bring a small pump, tube and tire with you on rides. I didn't and had the walk of shame to get home. 40 mins of walking. Could have been worse and been a 3 hour walk.

Did give me an excuse to get this pirelli installed on the bike though.

Bike: 2015 Trek 1.2

Tire was 72000 won.

Perfect day for a ride with my girl!

Saved this one from the recycling yard today. Lots of potential and many good years and miles ahead for it.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend one that fits well ? I bought the mucky nutz front and back combo - the back fits great but the front rubs. Not to worry as I will put it on my kids bike, but if someone can point me to a well fitting front it would be appreciated.

I’m considering buying this used verve 3 just unsure how old it is and what’s a fair price. Should I just go new, just looking for a bike to ride around my neighborhood and to the park with my kids. Any input is appreciated

Ik heb een jaartje geleden een Trek Domane SL 6 pro met velgremmen tweedehands gekocht. Ultegra afgemonteerd en vision T42 Carbon/alu wielset. 700 km op de teller. Moest wel wennen aan de geometrie en had een langere zadelpen nodig, ander zadel en een nieuwe cockpit.

Uiteindelijk met wat geluk supergoedkoop de upgrades kunnen doen. Ergon sr pro zadel, Ritchey wcs cockpit online in een sale en een langere seatmast via eBay. Fiets rijdt fantastisch. Ik mis de schijfremmen totaal niet, ik gebruik de fiets voor trainingsrondjes tot 80 km. Slechte wegen en wat kleine klimmetjes zitten in mijn vaste route.

Ik ben echt om qua tweedehands premium bikes te kopen. Deze Domane is een beetje einde tijdperk velgremmen, en je merkt dat het echt een goed sturende en remmende fiets is. Blij mee.
