Hey sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. Just got this Trek Wahoo 29er, happy with it apart from brakes which I'm upgrading to hydraulic over the weekend. Can anybody help me.... my friend said this frame is a ladies one! is that true? all other pics I have seen of this bike have a different shape cross tube...now worried lol thanks
I don't even think that bike is made in a women's frame design so your friend is probably just jealous. Like me!!

It's probably the small (15.5 inch) frame, right? That's just how they do the top tube on the small. The 17.5 appears to have a little bit of an angle break with the seatstays and it gets more pronounced as the sizes go up. Marketing pics usually show the most common, larger-size frame.

Sry 'bout the catalog shot. Will post a full report when the box gets here and I unpack the goodness. Just placed my order this afternoon with Yeti. Man oh man, don't know how I'm going to live with an honest-to-god trailbike after my string of mongrels. So stoked.

So I finally got my first hardtail MTB. Thanks to all from BikeForums who helped me out. Guess the new Post your Rigs is the ideal place to showcase. Brick wall on a overcast day makes a surprisingly good background. I'll do a proper photo shoot sometime. Felt Q720:
The shifting was set up so well by my store it's a dream, at times so quiet and quick that I don't realise its happened:
Two small changes to the stock version: grips changed to Bontrager foam ones (I REALLY didn't like the stock grips). I thought foam grips would be way too soft and spongy, but they're actually very nice, firm and grippy. Also went clipless with the basic Shimano SPD pedals:
I could go on about how the fork isn't up to the rest of the bike, but I'm a cyclist, not a component weenie and to be honest, I can't even tell the difference between that and higher-end forks. The thing rides like a dream, and I'm happy as a pig in mud.
And that's mah first hardtail.

Mostly lurk around here but just picked up a new project. New, old stock 2011 Fisher Sawyer.
Pretty much stock expect for some things I've had laying around (Thomson post/clamp, ODI Rogue, Spank Spike pedals). In the process of switching it over to 1x9. In the end it'll likely be a SS. Much like every other bike I've ever owned...

Sold out & got myself a fancy trail-dumbing-down device, my 'Big Red Crutch'.
Swapped the stock X-Fusion w/the KS 150 off the Honzo, added Excavator 2.5s & an x-firm coil.
Gonna take a while to remember the ins/outs of shifting, been about 12yrs since I've spent much time on one w/that stuff....as for the squishy bits, saul gud!

+1 on that. I saw a couple of them around here marked down to prices that must've been pretty close to dealer cost (wish I had some extra $$$ around to get one!). Guess they didn't sell too well, huh? It's too bad because those frames are very cool.
