Sadly, my blue/purple 700 that I have posted here was stolen from work a few days ago. I had gotten lazy about locking it. I’m glad I keep a few bikes and that the one stolen wasn’t the best one. I...

Yup - I failed to mention earlier that I called Shimano first. They suggested a shop that was something like a 2 hour drive and we didn’t have a car at the time. I asked them about the local Trek...

Also possibly worth note is the new cranks are wider than the originals as well, I want to say an additional 15mm, enough to be perceivable and maybe require a slight saddle adjustment

Cutsit, I believe your bike is subject to a Trek recall involving the crankset, as was mine. Last fall my LBS replaced crankset, bottom bracket, front derailer, and chain, I had to cover labor cost,...

Cutsit, a 38 will fit fine, a 42 will be tight in the rear. You can fit fenders over a 38 with a little work on the rear mounting.

Originally I had my 700 MT set up with drop bars for my 24 mile RT mostly rural work commute. I bought a touring bike that serves that purpose better so I put flat bars back on my MT. Instead of...

Additional thoughts on drop bars on a hybrid/mtb, you’ll have to scroll past the first part of the post or read through it. I like Grant Petersen, anyway.

The packaging from my fenders says they're compatible up to 38mm. They're flexible, so letting out the stays a little will give a wider diameter, more than enough for a 38mm tire. Coverage over the...

It’s kind of a long bike. I’m surprised to see other people’s 23” frames with saddles lower and longer stems. I’m 6’0 even and already a little long in the torso. I’m not very flexible, though.
