L E-Bikes LMN 1d ago Ebike hate is a mind virus. I've been wondering lately if a person never read anything bad about ebikes, only encountered them in the wild, saw one at a store, had a friend show up for a group ride with one, how would they react? Then it occurred to me that ebike hate may actually be a mind virus... 126 3K LMN replied a moment ago
L Misc Components Loll 4h ago Any actually good front fenders? My fork is a Marzocchi Z2 and I'm looking for an actually good front fender. For now I'm making do with one of those "this was made from a thin sheet of bendy plastic like a grade school folder but look at the cool design we printed on it!" type fenders that you zip tie on. I'd like something... 10 169 Loll replied a moment ago

Why are Trek bikes not very popular?

I really like the look of the Trek bikes. The Madone would be my choice, had I not got an aero bike already. Really like the look of the Emonda too. Has anyone had or got a Trek road bike? What’s your experience? Has anyone used their Project One customisation?

I got a Madone 2.1 4 years ago and it's been lovely to ride for 12,000 miles. It developed a crack in the seat tube a few weeks back and so I should get a new frame to replace it shortly. Tempted to go for a Domane as it's a bit more relaxed. No complaints here!

Why do TREK use the same letters to name their bikes?

Interesting that there are two responses, from actual purchasers, and both of you have had problems with the quality of the kit @SpokeyDokey @tallliman .

I've got a trek emonda and it's a superb bike. Mrs kes has a silque (women's domane) and she loves it. No issues with either. Although friend of ours with a madone had an issue with frame after a couple of years. It was replaced under warranty with no quibbles.

19 Oct 2017

Good to hear from someone with an Emonda. I am still fancying one as and when my other bike gets sorted out.

Charming but somewhat feckless.

CanucksTraveller said: Dunno, but I did find out that Madone means "My God!" in Italian, which pleased me greatly. Click to expand...

glasgowcyclist said: I've never heard of it in standard Italian. (My God would be Dio mio) Nearest I can think of is the exclamation "Madonna!" You might hear it in Friuli though, where it means mother-in-law. Click to expand...
