2025 Trek FX 6 Unboxing & Build

[@vbBegin1957]

I believe if you purchase a bike and shipped to your home you should know or have knowledge on bicycle assembly, truing and adjustments. If you dont have the knowledge then i suggest going to your near bike shop let them do everything for you and pick it up. They may deliver the bike for you.

@@vbBegin1957 I appreciate the feedback. My two sons have both worked as professional bike technicians and they have helped me on numerous issues, repairs and builds. My point was to show that the bike can be easily assembled with a little bike maintenance knowledge overall, with the exception of truing the wheels. I did assume the wheels would be trued from the factory. Thanks again.

The hubs and wheels need to adjusted and trued out of the box. Most of the axles are over tightened from the factory. Some cone wrenches and spoke wrenches would be nice. TBH, not sure how you'd buy a bike in a box from a shop and not have this explained, bedding the pads etc.

Thanks for the info. I was not aware that the wheels would not come trued out of the factory. I don’t know how to true a wheel but I’ve got a local shop that can do that. My son manages the shop where I bought the bike and he sent it directly to me.
