Hey there, it's me, JamesTheBikeGuy! I just love bicycles and everything that comes with them. I've been a bike enthusiast and mechanic for as long as I can remember - and this channel is here to share my passion for cycling with you.
To me, cycling is all about fun & freedom. There's nothing like the feeling of hopping on a bike and exploring new places, tinkering with the technical components, and of course, the adventure you find out in nature. And hey, let's not forget about the health benefits of cycling!
I'm a firm believer anyone can be a cyclist, and that is the most fun you can have per dollar aside from a frisbee. So, whether you're an experienced cyclist or just starting out, I'd love for you to join me on this bike-loving journey. Let's explore the world of cycling together!

Price Drop! 2023 Specialized Fuse 27.5: Deal or Disappointed?
I got this bike. It's great! The hub in the back is a little heavy. The belt is so quiet and smooth like butter. I would rebuy and will be buying for my son.
Thanks James, excellent explanation..
I rode one of these all around Delaware. No, I'm serious. Come on, man.
I just bought it and don't know what to think about it. I really think its cool but not for long rides. Also maybe it's because in a little out of shape but it feels like theres resistsnce when im pedalling. I think its heavy as hell.
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!
the di2 cable in the chain-stay ruins the whole bike for me.
Giant makes Trek bikes.
They do for several brands too. This Marlin however is not made by Giant, these are manufactured in Cambodia.
I woud recommend to do the other side too, while your spring is getting quite rusty
I think the emonda and madone both needed one more interaction or generation before they became one
My 2023 Trance x e-2 came with a dead battery charger. It also came with no customer support! I called them and was told that I had to go through the dealer. The desler has my dead , verified charger and placed a warranty claim. Replacement? A month, a f%&king month fir a brand new, riden 2 hour, $5000 e-bike???? WTH?
You are my goto review channel
Thank you
Very nice, I like it.
Is this XS frame?
I got the last Emonda Sl6 purchase this year in color red and black. Its the same feature and wheels
God, why I was born poor? Does Santa Claus comes to mid age men? I want this bike like crazy!!
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.
Just picked one of these up on sale for only 350AUD (233 USD). Man I’m pumped to switch out this X-Fusion MIG32
I wished for a drop seat stay emonda 😢
I found a 22 model that fits my bike, is it the same as a 24 model? Meaning am I buying current tech?
Thanks for posting the vid…I’m picking mine up on Friday…super stoked🤙
Could size M fit on the height 6"? Thanks
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.
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.
i have the disc, the frame ergonomics is amazing, i've ridden mountain bikes my whole life before now, and i was shocked over how light it was, its amazing.
Uhh, is it okay if my bike doesnt make a clicking noise? (it does but its really silent)
Fd nya bisa di pake buat triple chain ring nggak yah?...
Pls review the new Chisel FS
Once I ride more outside this year, this will be on my to try list for 2025 - plus gotta save some money.
Specialized is missing the mark on no internal storage…….
The Gen6 2022 Madone with that oversized “TREK” logo was the best looking Madone.
Horrible bike
Looking for something more like 2004 murcielargo Little more sexy Exotic parts
Awesome explanation, thank you for this!!!
Less sizes that fit a wider range of riders for more money? I'll pass.
17k for a bicycle! That's insanity. 5k for a bike is insanity also. It's a bike not a car. This is why the bike industry is in trouble. GREED
What a weird looking bike!
Thanks! Used this trick with mechanic’s wire in place of a shift cable, to route the brake cable all the way from the chain stay through to the head tube. Worked great. Even on a Time frame with a Hambini 1-piece BB already installed.
Excellent!
The large Trek logo is not a vibe otherwise the design is very nice!
not even one second of riding?
Heavy considering this is now Trek's climbing bike. Emonda cancelled. I have a 2017 Trek Emonda that comes in at 14 lbs ready to ride.
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.
@@Jamesthebikeguyif I understood this bike is heavier than the 2017 , but is faster? How do ?
Honestly, I don't like that matte color. I liked the previous gen more. Way more.
Not a big fan of the tan / brown on the rubber but despite that shes a beauty!
A beautiful bike for sure, but you could also likely buy a pretty nice used motorcycle for the same price
For sure. As someone with a motorcycle license that’s a thing I used to think before I got one but after getting one I have more fun on a bike so I know where my money would go
Yeah, these bikes are expensive. But people who spend this kind of money on expensive bikes already have some kind of reliable transportation. People who can't afford them don't even know these bikes exist.
Tbh you can buy a nice car with the price of a premium motorcycle too. Also you can buy a nice house with the price of a premium car too
@@yukiko_5051bikes are inherently simple though. Cars, motorcycles etc are much more complex and often warrant their cost. Bikes don't.
@@BikeLife154 But you can't live comfortably on a nice car though? Unlike house
This or the Elite version of the Specialized Rockhopper 29? Can anybody help me choose,please?
I bought mine pre pandemic. I love it. I got rid of the plastic pedals with metal , the cheap seat it comes with ,to a split seat,better grips. And added a Bontrager rack/ bag system. Living in east,central Illinois. In cooler weather you might start out in a sweatshirt,then you get warm,so I have a bag to throw it in. 😊
I’d did splurge on upgrading the tires to Continentals. Imo, they have better,stiffer side walls and better tread.
I just bought the bike so of course it’s the best bike out there
Me too what color did you get.
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!
I already have a marlin 5, but it is showing its age, do you think it is worth to upgrade to a new gen trek marlin 5?
How do you open and use the lock?
Doesn’t happen on my bikes., old school.
