Question: when shipping and the bars are removed from the stem, what could be used to keep the fork from moving in the headset? I use the Tri All 3 Sports hard shell care. From fork is clipped in but the bike could possibly still move so that it rises off the fork, even if just slightly.
The procaliber builds are odd. It's an amazing frame but trek doesn't do it justice. Notice the top of the line supercaliber is lighter. Even has a dropper post. They clearly want to sell more supercalibers otherwise they wouldn't short the procaliber builds like that. The top procaliber should be 700gr lighter than the top supercaliber
hello. Is the emonda slr that you have behind you the amethyst color from previous years? Or is it the new amethyst daintree mix color of 2023? thank you
The Checkpoint just gives you more versatility, its very capable off road, but still rides well on road. Running a narrower bar is more of a personal fit choice and doesn't really affect the bikes ability to go offroad. The Domane can deal with rougher surfaces but is still better suited to road use.
Comes stock with lower gears. I intend to buy one if autumn prices make it possible. I will leave the gears stock. With my fitness, and the local terrain, lower gears, and lots of them, are a huge benefit.
It's way more than gears that make these offriad capable. The angles, the wheelbase, stiffness and stength. Rely on smaller stems to keep manoeuvrable but have longer wheelbase. Ability to take bigger tyres too.
@@andrewnorris5415 Not sure if you are replying to me. What I said about gears is true, and that's my starting point. But my intent is to swap in 32 mm road tires (probably on HED Belgium G rims) for randonneur riding. Add fenders and a headlight, and this seems as good an off-the-shelf bike as I can find for me and my riding. Most of my rides are 95% paved.
