No, you will have to have a new bar . If you get a cheap flat bar made for mountain bikes, you can cut it down in increments to fit you just right. I took a 720mm bar and cut 20mm off each side to...

Averaged 14.6mph for 50 miles last week(only my second ride of that length). Mostly flat rail trail, but included a brief stop and half an...

I like my Cateye Padrone. I don't log or compare anything, so it does all I need it to. Almost all my rides are "fitness rides", so it lets me know when I slack off, which is also handy for...

I was looking at the 7.3, but never gave it another glance after riding a 7.5(no 7.4 on hand in my size) to compare, and thinking the difference the carbon fork made on rough pavement was huge. ...

Don't get your expectations up too high for carbon bars and seatpost making a big difference, given their lack of width and length, respectively. Not saying it won't help, but it's not going to have...

Bottom line is nobody cares what you wear, and there'd be no reason for you to care if they did. You're concerned about fashion critique from the people dressed up like a bunch of gay rodeo clowns?...

Great pedals. Durable, easy to service if it ever becomes necessary, and a serious bargain, since they're going for $50 nowadays. Look great, too, IMO.
I've had them on my mountain bike for...

Here's another.
Still almost new 2015/16 FX 7.5.
Stock except for a SSR seatpost from another bike, Bontrager Affinity Elite saddle, Xpedo Spry pedals, and a bottle cage.

Took it on a tour of three different city parks this morning, then dressed it up with the saddle I picked up on the way home, and the pedals that were waiting in the mailbox when I got there.

Currently rethinking the practicality of a bolt on rack that would only be used a very small percentage of the time. Inadvertantly chasing grams and imagining additional uses may have clouded my...

They'll do for the time being, but a new bar and some Ergon bar end grips are definitely in this bike's future.

Yeah, Bontrager does put out some nice stuff. Great saddles, in particular, though I'm not so high on this proprietary Isoform bar and grips.

Hey, that's lighter than 712g! I'm not seeing many below 680g or so, and that's actually lighter than any I've read the specs on.
I like that Transit Trunk Bag, too. Thanks:thumb:

Hey folks, I'm looking for a rack for my Trek 7.5 FX. It's a 2015/16 model with rack and fender mounts.
Doesn't need a lot of capacity, for either weight or bulk. No need for a basket, panniers,...
