    2016 Trek Remedy 9

    I've been astounded by how well this thing rides. The Pro Pedal works like a dream, certainly not too much bike for flowy single track. I dont know what the hell you are on about with the bars, they are 750mm wide and the stem is very short. You might be thinking of last years spec though.

    2016 Trek Remedy 9

    I'll be honest, wasnt too keen on the colour but the guys at On The Rivet talked me into it. When I picked it up on Friday, I was convinced. The colour scheme looks great, especially with the blue XTR pedails. I'm thinking about getting some blue chain ring bolts and bling to make it really...

    NSW State XC 2010....

    XC The Goose

    Hey mate, the rims are amazing! Very stiff and light. I have also found, although they are great rims, they are not expensive to replace either. I have just gone tubeless and its definately been worth the switch. I am yet to weigh it again but it feels lighter. Cheers, Tim
