Um, wrong. You DO need a thru-axle to mount a bike on a direct-drive trainer. The point was, that mine had a lever on it, and nobody seemed to know that it's removable from the thru-axle. For the H3,...

It's not exactly earth-shattering news that bikers want the lightest weight parts for their bikes.

Well, I'll advise you then. It turns out I DIDN'T need to buy this for a trainer, and that it weighs more than the stock part makes it even more useless. The company advertises this for everyday use,...

Funny how no one seems to know this about Trek axles

Regarding thru-axles for Treks, nobody at the Trek store or even Trek online, mentions that the included 'lever' on the rear thru axle is a removable 6mm tool. I just wasted $55 buying the Robert...

Trek seat post question

So I got my new 2020 Domane SL5 and there was some grease at the top where the seat post inserts into the frame. Guess it piled up when they lowered the seat so it could fit in my car.

Anyway, I...

Yeah, and it's a $3K bike. Not only no offer of a discount but they tacked on an extra $10 more than it seems what other shops are selling that tool for. They also hit me up $2 for the valve adapter,...

As a general rule, I buy everything new.

When I look on Craigslist, EVERYTHING is priced close to what I can buy online new. Either these sellers don't know how to shop and overpaid, or they're...

Just got back with my brand new 2020 Trek Domane SL5

It actually fit inside my Bimmer without taking a wheel off. Ok, so it took some maneuvering, but it did fit. I had removed the rear seat ahead...

Ok, so maybe I'm using the wrong terminology as I haven't owned a bike in a few decades now.

From what I read looking at bike trainers, they use a 'skewer,' and that you need a quick release on...

Need more info on front/rear quick release

I was looking at various quick release parts, and apparently diameter doesn't seem to be important as it's almost never listed, only length is given. Are skewers a standard diameter or something?

The Trek store tried to put me on a 56 when everything pointed to a size 54 for this particular bike. I couldn't see 10' in front of me because of the bike helmet and the steering was so squirrelly I...

Going to our 1 and only Trek dealer waste of time

So I took the advice from the "Introductions" section to visit the LBS here in Vegas before buying online. Granted, normally it's probably not bad advice, but that's 3 hours I'll never get back.
