Hey everyone. I'm new to this forum, and new to Y bikes. I just got one recently for a great deal through local classifieds. It's been repainted- and looks...
The URT gives a clue. The rectangular section URT with replaceable derailleur hanger means 1997. Pre 96 the hanger was not replaceable; from 98 on all URT's...
Here is a little update on my Y33 I am parting with. This bike was my spare that never got to be used as the first one had no issues, so less than 50 miles...
I would say 97 Y5 as well. The parts themselves are very mix n match though.......the shifters/brake levers, and some of the gear train are original. ...
Marty: So, are you saying that I shouldn't be riding my Y22 in every kind of condition and averaging about 200 miles per week? My Y22 is a brilliant blue and...
nope I am not saying you shouldn't ride it, of course not, just take good care of it. Ride it like you normally would, but keep with the maintenance/tune up...
Marty: Of course. My Y22 is treated like one of the family. Due to the miles, she gets cleaned daily and tuned about every 3 days during the week and daily...
Hey all just dropping in to say howdy...I have a mostly orginal Y3 for now I'll just share a few pic of her...might help the name the bike guy too... My Y3 can...
The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it... ...
Hi all! I am new to the group. After a few years out of the saddle I just started riding my Y bike again. It's a 1998 Y11 frame in that icky yellow color. Back...
I run a 2008 Fox Float with Pro Pedal and no lockout, and it works perfectly. ________________________________ From: trekybikes@yahoogroups.com on behalf of...
You know Matt brings up a good point... I'm a big guy 211 lbs... when you read the reviews of components they must have been tested by someone weighing in at...
... they must have been tested by someone weighing in at 100 pounds cause when I sit my bulk on them they ain't so great.... ... on my Y3 (Put my fat A** on it...
... For best performance: Fox Float RP23 or Manitou Swinger. (adjustable stable platform valve) Can't go too wrong: Fox Float (fixed SPV) (Apparently)bombproof...
I'm somewhere about 240lb and run my '97 Y33 with an '07 Fox Float R (with custom PUSH valving) at the back and a stock '06 RS Reba Race up front. Both work...
Hi fellow Trek Y owners! I've got an old hayes disc brake for my Trek YSL, which has the aluminium rear triangle with a 22mm mount for exactly these old...
My best guess is M5 x 20mm. They will either be M4 or M5 screws and the 20mm is an approximate length. Hayes could tell you for sure. A Trek dealer with a...
As the mounting holes are specific for the Trek URT (at least the depth) , i tried it there (in Switzerland), but they weren't knowledgeable. So I should try...
... This one gets a lot of love, and with their trade in program the price is good. If the faux-lockout is "good enough" it would be high on my list. I just...
After doing some more reading of the archives, I see that the OEM shock is 6.75" x 1.75" and these newer parts aren't available in that size. 6.5" x 1.5" is...
The only caveat to the Fox Float would be rider weight as someone mentioned. I have trouble getting the air pressure right when I push 195lbs. I'm 185 at this...
I was worried about messing with the geometry of my bike by going for the slightly shorter modern shock (165x38mm) but was reassured by the top Trek tech guy...
I made the mistake of going with a fox alps 4 shock way back in the day that was shorter than the stock unit, the rear end was sagging so low the back wheel...
What size was the Alps 4 you used? Note that the 2nd figure is the stroke of the shock, so discussing changing that without mentioning the eye-to-eye length...
Argh, me and my fundamentals again, Pete thanks for the correction to my extreme oversight here, eye to eye length is in fact the very first figure to be...
I have a Gary Fisher Joshua with hayes disc brakes and was downloading the manual for bleeding the hydraulics, the manuals have some insight of bolts and...
