I'm not sure if it's bad etiquette to reply in an older thread, but I wanted to report back. Everything worked out! I've reassembled the hub with the Axle key from gster! Taking the hub apart was...

Thank you!

Hi all,

I managed to connect with gster, was roughly on the area, and now I've got a spare hub to work with! Really going to enjoy learning how this thing works and getting my friend's bike on the...

Oh my goodness! I was in total despair. The one lead I had ended up being a dud. I'm located in Ontario, Canada. Shall I message you directly?

I'd happily buy one or two off of you and cover...

1983 Sturmey Archer AW hub... uh oh.

Hi everyone,

I'm helping a friend fix up a Raleigh (I think from the 80s) that's been sitting in a basement or barn for many years. I foolishly didn't try it out when it came to me. Not knowing...

Now I'm curious what this sounds like! I am afraid I don't have any decisive advice. Do you see any discoloration or debris on the disc? And does the disc seem like it it mounted tightly enough or is...

I had to check if today was April 1st: The Men's Fitness folding mountain bike

The Toughest Bike You'll Ever Buy (http://www.mensfitness.com/training/endurance/mens-fitness-bike)



This is a joke, right? Periodical branded folding bike? Must be a competition prize, right?...

I've got an '05 version of the same bike, and it's been very good to me, both on the trail and road. I'm a relatively novice rider on the trail, but put well over 1000km of road and trail use (mostly...

Thanks for mentioning that - I should have mentioned that I've got disc hubs and disc ready frame.



Yes - I did mean for road use. The bike gets quite a lot of road miles (I swap in slick...

I have a 2005 4500, and I absolutely love the bike, but I posted another thread recently 'Trek 4500: Upgrade Uncertainty' which might be of interest to you. Maybe not: your bike is still very new,...

That trek is good value, and with a little work you could set it up for touring. General advice: definitely get a hardtail (unless you actually want to do DH racing, but as someone else suggested,...

Alas...

Competition is an interesting thing, and it's tricky when you have online vendors 'competing' with bike shops. That said, it's always nice to see a bike shop with a strong online presence....

Trek 4500 Upgrade Uncertainty

I have one of these (http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/2005/archive/4500), but without disc brakes. I bought it used (but mint) for a very good price, and it has served me well over the past few...

Steep price, but I'd be interested to read a review. Curious to see how the engineers and designers from the road world approach the design of an XC bike.

Just replied in your other thread, but I guess this is probably a more specific thread. That Trek looks pretty good. I did about 25km a couple times a week on a mountain bike, and I didn't mind....

I've got a Trek 4500 (hardtail) that sees some trails on the weekends, but by far sees more road miles. I bought a pair of super cheap 'Vee Rubber...
