Basic beginner question : trek 7.7 fx - brake blocks
Hello All,
Told the plunge last mont to convert from public transport to leg power and have treated myself to the Trek 7.7 fx . The bike has Tektro Alloy brakes ( not even sure what that means) and brake blocks . Have only major experience in rotors and hydro pads on my mtb's and so utterly confused with what I should be purchasing . The wheels are not carbon (bontrager tlr) .
Any advice would be nice ..
AND if you are a trek expert , any idea what bar ends I could fit to the trek 7.7 ?
Bontrager Satellite Plus IsoZone, 31.8mm, 15mm rise - Handlebar
Many thanks !

I think You have to add Trek brand bar ends to the 7.7 because of the Isozone grips. You have to swipe out the foam in the grips with a specific one to fit bar ends.
