PSA: Wahoo Ace is currently not Blendr or K-Edge Compatible

Gen 6/7/8 Madones, RSL Aero, and any other aero handle bar or blendr system Trek makes is not compatible with the new Computer. You will not be able to mount it. No mounts currently support the Ace. Confirmed by Trek and K-EDGE this morning.

No ETA or confirmation from either company that they are making a mount, either.

Trek Multi-track Road bike

Hi guys, I'm looking for a Trek Multi-track 720/730 Road bike, do you know where I can find one? Really get into those 90s-00s classic and simple Trek road bikes.

Love my Trek in Worcester MA but couldn't bring it back to Vietnam. Borrowed this one from the Earn-a-bike program, far more than expected, with a wonderful condition, a beautiful color, and absolutely reliable. A big thanks to Brian for lending me this bike.

Checkpoint SL 5 Gen 2 or Domane AL 5 Gen 4?

I'm looking to get my first bike ever and I went to my local bike shop. They have a Checkpoint SL 5 Gen 2 on sale for $2899 CAD and the Domane AL 5 Gen 4 for MSRP for $2629 CAD. I believe the Domane SL 5 is the perfect bike for what I'm looking for, but its outside of my budget.

My reason for getting a bike is to compete in an Ironman 70.3 in July 2024, and then a full Ironman in 2025. After that, I don't know if I will continue to ride, maybe occasionally with a mix of road + gravel. Over the winter here in Canada, I plan on riding indoors using a trainer.

The shop offered to put road tires on the Checkpoint SL 5 Gen 2 at the same price. The shop also offers bike fits, and said I could try both bikes out on the trainer they have in the store, but I don't know how much that would help.

Which bike do you think I should get given my goal of an eventual Ironman? Should I consider another brand?

What’s a bike stand you guys recommend?

What bike stands you guys recommend under $100 that allow me to work on the bike and just use it as a regular stand. Been enjoying the fx 3.

Is Domane SL 6 Gen 4 worth buying?

Hello, I am considering buying Domane SL 6 Gen 4 for 3000€ ~ 3150$. It is in satin black color so I think it should be 2023 model. Do you think it is worth buying it for this price?

End of Season sale on Domane AL5?

Hi, wondering how likely a Trek company store will be to negotiate price on a 24 Domane AL5 gen 4? List price is $2k, Not tons of availability in sizes and colors, but I can find a few stores with the one I want. The 2025 version - basically the same bike from what I can see is the same price, if I'm going to pay full retail price, I might as well order a 2025 version and get it in a week or 2. Does a Trek owned store have the ability / flexibility to do a price break? How about a LBS with this model in stock? I see many higher end (SLs etc) on sale, but not many AL bikes on sale... thanks!

Domane vs Checkpoint Sizing

I currently own a Trek Domane AL Disc 2 from 2022. I was looking at the new Checkpoint AL 4 because I was interested in having a separate gravel bike for touring/rockier terrain. My Domane is a size 52. I am comfortable on it. I have a long torso and shorter legs (5'4.5", 30" inseam). I've been riding it for 1.5 years now without any issue. I can see on Bike Insights that the geometry of the Checkpoint is a bit different. The size chart on Trek's site is telling me to get a 52cm/M frame Checkpoint, but I'm reading things online saying the geometry is "aggressive". Should I try the 49cm frame Checkpoint instead even though it is for 5'4" and below?

Emonda ALR tire clearence question

Hello. I have been on an Emonda ALR for a few months now. I am wondering wether the aluminum make of it can accomodate 30c tyres since a shop owner gave me a free 30c tyre because my previous one was very worn out? Thanks for any advice.

Time for changing tires?

I have a Trek Dual Sport 2 since 2021 for the occasional ride. My back tire looks a bit worn out, is it time for a new one? I don't think i have more than 2/3k km on this bike, is this a normal wear/tear situation? thanks

Question about Emonda Sl6 Computer Mount

Hello, as the title states Im confused and I can't really understand which computer holder (+base) is the best for my new road bike, the road bike is equipped with the Bontrager RCS Pro Stem. I was thinking of getting a knock off from aliexpress but still cant manage to find which suits the best. If someone has figured it out I will be thankful.
