Looks like you had a great trip Jake. I'll definitely put Eisenhower park on my list for bike camping next year. I'll have my '92 Trek 930 built up by then. Congratulations on your new position at Trek. I wish you all the best on this new chapter of your life. Take care.

What kind of soap do you use? Will this also work on Matt frames? How long does it need to dry?
@JakebMiller 20 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching! I just used Dawn. it doesn't have to be anything special. You can wrap matte paint, there is even matte vinyl you can use. As soon as you smooth out the water from underneath it, it's dry. The moisture will evaporate in a day or so.

By chance do you have a video on how to do this process along with removing the rear wheel on the checkpoint? My local trek store is closing and their other store is 40 miles away. I don’t want to have to drive that far if I can do it myself. I used to watch the mechanic at the store that’s closing but don’t feel confident going off memory in removing the rear wheel. Im probably over thinking it for sure but I don’t want to mess up something lol

I have an Sl6 emondo. I think its 2021. I live in a very hilly area and am running 28 teeth in the back. would you recommend 32 or 34 for the back gearing? IF so which one and do i need to change out anything other than the chain when i change the cassette? New to riding so anything helps.
@JakebMiller 5 ай бұрын
Yes, large gear in the back would help a ton! Shimano has the 105 r7000 11 speed 32t that would work. Another huge help for climbing is lighter weight wheels, the lighter you can get those, the easier it is to climb.

@JakebMiller 10 ай бұрын
Yes, but the main reason for a fender or Ass Saver, is to keep your backside clean. When you feel the material of the bag and the type of zipper that is used, you'll notice that it is waterproof and it seals pretty tight. So you shouldn't have too many issues with the environment getting inside. Thanks for watching and your question!

It sure does. There are two mounting points. Bags on one and the others are on the 2nd one. I'd say there would be enough room if you did a different bag. Only thing, us that the way a traditional bag mounts(with velcro straps) it would be pulled up into the other mount and would block access to opening the bag.
