Thought I’d share. The FXS6 was my first bike. Quickly followed by two road bikes, which had me contemplating selling the FX. It was slower than the roadies and not that much more comfortable. Then the guys at the local Giant shop recommended that I try going tubeless and replacing the Bontrager hard case tires it came with, with some 35c gravel king sk which I could run 30psi lower (currently at just below 60psi). Holy smokes. The ride improved exponentially. I went from ready to sell to absolutely keeping it. Trek should really sell the FX with wider tires and run them tubeless standard, like Giant bikes now come. It is a night and day difference and I’m digging this bike all over again!
