    Great video, thanks a lot for getting into all of the details!!! According to google the Gen7 SL frameset weight is: 1050g - 56cm (frame-only, painted) 418g (fork-only, painted), which is very close to the new one. On the other side, on the new one they sacrificed the looks! Gen7, which I own, looks like a rocket ship, while the new one looks worse compared to Orca Aero or Canyon, but it's a lot more expensive. I would personally wouldn't upgrade, as the new one is a downgrade!

    Removing the 60 is a huge mistake. The short front end on the 58 is going to force me into a longer stem and put me in danger of toe overlap but the jump to the 62 has the top tube so high I can't ride it. I was 100% going to get this bike but now I am forced to pass. I wonder if Trek's bean counters are going to factor the lost sales into their brilliant cost cutting move.

    You think 307g is respectable? Why do we need no weight limit? Is there a 400lb person riding an aero bike? Let’s be realistic. lol. The Roval Alpinist carbon seatpost has a 275lb weight limit and I believe is under 150g. That’s respectable.

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy День назад

      A 31.6mm seatpost would be used on a lot more than an aero bike. In fact no aero bike comes to mind that utilizes a 31.6mm seatpost. Additionally the Alpinist post would be lightweight in my book. However it doesn't compare. It is 161% more expensive ($275 vs $105usd) and it is a 27.2mm road post. Yeah if you pay almost 3x the price for a other post, you should expect a lighter post. Thinking that people don't appreciate a stoutly made carbon post because they might weigh more than you is low class gatekeeping. Ride your stuff and enjoy, don't yuck someone's yum.

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy 5 дней назад

      Yes this also a mid-spec variant. The 2017 Emonda was especially light (even more so the SLR) but this bike would still be faster over a long ride regardless of additional weight when compared to the equivalent 2017. FWIW, the 2017 SL 6 weighed in one ounce shy of 17lbs. So not much weight gain for way more overall bike.

    Heavy, not far off an emtb nowadays, rear disc, too small for a medium to extra-large on 29ers; maybe okay on a small bike with a small person. The 180s are quite hard to stop on a Tektro single piston! I remember when I was a kid, Tektro on BMXs was amazing, pretty much top of the line on GT, etc. It's funny how they're way down there now with the likes of another massive brand, RST forks, now as bad as Zoom! It all depends on the price of this Trek and what needs changing out before the first ride! The narrow tire is good for the road. I won't even go there with SR Suntour; never again for me, personally. They just about wrote them off one time! Coil sprung with preload failed massively and stuck down totally collapsed : £450 UK in sales just now, down from £650. That's not bad; it's a great frame to build up!
