Maybe possibly it is a poor initial build problem or lack of maintenance. I don't know. The only place I have heard of any issues is here on BF. With said my Domane SLR is an outstanding endurance bike that gets the job done with no springs or cartridges. It just works.
Gary, speaking of your bike shop experience which is clearly good to know and many FS issues noted maybe set up related as you say, can you speak to how many Trek BB90 issues and/or warranty returns that come into your shop? Does your shop set them up with grease only?...recognizing BB90 has carbon and not alloy bores...and there are reports of the bores elongating due to wear..perhaps aggravated by lack of crank bearing preload as set...preload helping keep BB bearings seated?
Also, I have to ask about your AWOL compared to other bikes you ride. Where do you ride it and what size tires?
To me, its a super heavy bike and one of the very rare steel bikes sold by a big brand. Do you tour on it with racks front and back? Do you like the bike? Riding position is very upright.
Thanks.
