NEW Trek Domane: unboxing - part 2 of a bike test series, SLR7 in the workshop + mechanic's comments 

Looking forward to watching any further videos you post about your Domane. I've already placed an order for the new Domane SL frameset in the Hex blue colour and I'm looking forward to getting it. Was told at my local Trek store to be patient as the estimated delivery times could change. I'm very keen to transfer all the components from my existing older Domane onto the new frameset and build my new bike.

Thanks for the great video! Had an order in for 22’ Domane SL6 since Nov 2021 but Trek updated it. Looking forward to receiving my 23’ Domane SL6 in Satin Black early Nov according my LBS…🤙🏽

Super nice bike only because I want one. The holographic sticker looks great with the color

Beautiful!!! I'm jealous 🤔

I like the look of this bike, now its as light as my 2020 Emonda SL7 (I got deeper wheels), no weight penalty for the extra comfort. I do seriously hope you do a video on the new Madone when that comes out. Keen to see what they can do with all the new aero tech

I have the Domane AL2 2022 - 2023 Model and I love it!

I bought one about a month ago and have ridden it once. The seat collapsed and the suspicion it is because it has the old design seat clamp and carbon paste was used during the install of the seat post. My understanding is only alcohol should be used in the seat post assembly.

Did you happen to have a RSL version come though the shop , I’m looking for a comparison in the rear for tire clearance . Trek says 35mm for this model but they also say 38mm for the SLR model and people are running 40’s with no issues Thanks and great video!

Can you drop the front fork out completely to allow servicing of the headset bearings? That brake hose routing looks quite tight.

Does this slr have the same geometry as the domane sl6 gen 4? Why does the sl6 have so many spacers in front in comparison with this type of domane?

I have a Trek Domane + SLR7 PJ1, can you recommend an aftermarket seat post. 27.2 mm, 400mm, 20mm offset?

Am I the only one that is over the Matt Black finish being on everything????

If feels lighter?

that is useful ,see you on my side, ridemedia.🤠

What about the sound/noise in the IsoSpeed? Is normal to have a noisy bike or… Kindly advice.

what is the weight of the bike Rob? I know Domane are not weight weenies but just curious if they made it at least 8kg or lower now.

Hats off to Trek for the 38 mm tyre clearance! I'm eager to hear your thoughts 🙂 Friendly suggestion: Install a chain catcher on the front derailleur before it throws the chain onto the frame. The Force eTap AXS front derailleur can be unruly and fincky, no matter how diligently a rider/mechanic tunes it to spec (even with SRAM's official FD alignment tool). On one bike it will behave itself, on another bike it will have a mind of its own. In January I purchased a 2022 bike with Force eTap AXS and within six months I replaced the groupset with Shimano Di2. I tried everything I could to avoid ditching Force (love the eTap AXS concept, fantastic rear shifting + I didn't have money to just buy a new bloody groupset), but my goodness, the front derailluer was a never-ending source of frustration and anxiety - it literally ruined the joy of riding my new bike ... I'm still recovering 😣

Not a fan of the flat black. It makes it look like an ordinary 8 year old bike. You need bright colors to accentuate the curves.

just looks like another flat (satin maybe but fuckn boring al the same) black bike to me

Worst bike I’ve ever ridden it’s like a tank sold it after 2 weeks

DULL DARK colour! Matte black bikes should be banned! Not only are they horrible but also dangerous.
