I had the 2008 4300 Disc it was the biggest P.O.S. Mountain Bike I've ever owned. The bike would never stay in adjustment for more than 10 miles at a time and the brakes (won't be a problem on yours) squeaked and creaked constantly. I noticed today when I was taking the stock platforms off of my beater Marlin that were take offs from the Trek were both LEFT pedals, trek put 2 Left Pedals on at their CHinese factory.
