Hey guys, name is Patrick. 24 and I live in North Jersey. Been riding all my life (mostly BMX and mountain). Just got into hybrid/road bikes. I bought a matte black Trek FX 7.2 which is awesome and I've been riding hard. However, I do wish I could have drop handlebars like road bikes. I saw in the picture thread that a member has done this. Has anyone else? What does it entail?

edit: found more on that topic than I would have thought. Spare me the process, but if you've done it before please let me know what you think.

I look forward to helping you guys out with questions and also getting insight from you all.

Welcome to the forum. First dose your bike have hydraulic disc brakes or other?

The OP has a Trek 7.2 FX, and the disc brakes don't start until the 7.3, so v-brakes.

I just asked because I saw this linkhttps://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rc...bl7s6Qfyi6CSJg showing disc brakes.
I was also hoping to suggest the new TRP converter to match cable actuated road levers to hydraulic disc brakes. Now that I've said it Sram is also releasing a converter. I'm getting one as soon as there available.

Yea I do have v-brakes. Even though there is a lot of talk about it on the Internet no one really gives you a step by step on how they did it. I'm going to talk to a bike shop and see what I can do. I really do not enjoy that straight up posture. I want something more aerodynamic while still keeping a hybrid design.

Interesting. Mine is a 2013 and I don't have disc brakes.

Here's an old thread for your reading pleasure https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/766933-Show-us-your-drop-conversion!
If you go back through the pages you'll find peoples own threads explaining there conversion's.

Thanks!
