Did my first Century on my 2016 Trek 7.2fx, alterations include changing the stock triple crank to a Tiagra 50/34 crank and the handlebar grips to Ergon grips (Without the bar ends, not sure what exact model). Only complain that I have is, even with some cheap amazon padded gloves my hands went numb from road vibrations (bumpy paved trail). Thighs are a little bit sore 2 days after but it is still tolerable. Maybe I'll invest with a better pair of padded gloves and grips with bar ends on them (I like the look better than just having separate bar ends on my bike). Tibett/Putam trail from Bronx - Brewster,NY is 50mile one-way with an elevation gain of about 3,000 feet completed time about 12hours, with a lunch break and flat brakes for one of our riders constantly pumping his tire every 5 or so miles.
