This bike was really easy to assemble ru-vid.comUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
Did you have any problems installing the front derailleur? After I installed the plate to protect the frame from that little screw, it felt like there was barely any space to tune the derailleur
That’s right. The space for setting the front derailleur limit adjustment for Trek bikes is too tight. You have to have the know-how to set it in consideration of it.
Those silly enlarged derailleur pulleys claim to save the equivalent of 1 W in drivetrain efficiency. They are suspected to waste 2 W in aerodynamic drag due to their larger frontal surface area. And especially they have been proven to make any bike 10 % more ugly! Yet, off the bike they make excellent fidget spinners.
