I am building up a Y-33 and have concluded that the Med frame is too small for me. If anyone with a good Large frame is interested in trading, please contact...
Yes, I have Y33 large Frame but I already repaint it with a Air Brush Skeleton design. The other thing is that I'm residing in Malaysia and the delivery to...
Nazam, Thanks, this is tempting, but the shipping would be prohibitive. Plus, I would want both parties to have to option of declining the trade if they found...
Nazam: Could you still post a picture of your bike? The paint scheme sounds cool. Vance Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T ... From: sanchius <sanchius@...> ...
When sending me email on your Trek Y's, please send pics as well. I have decided I just want to buy a bike in California. California sellers only please. ...
Does anyone know where I might find one? I've been looking on eBay the last couple of weeks and have yet to see any. I've looked at several aftermarket...
Just found this group after purchasing my Y-22 yesterday. I'll post pics in a couple of days but for now all I can say is I bought it from the original owner...
Wow... I wish I was that lucky. I usually have to spend $160.00 to get a bike back into shape. Thanks for reminding me, I need to post pics of my new...
Hello, I just got another bike. Judging from the web site info I have a 1997 Y-33 in nude carbon. I am fast to start changing out parts to make it my very...
Fox Shox are great if you can get one in the Trek size (6.5"). Shocks are hard to come by for these bikes, some of the Y's came with a bracket on the rear...
Hey Dr. G, For what it's worth... I have a 98' Y-33 nude, sounds just like yours. I changed the rear shock as well after many, many miles, to a Fox Float 6.5"...
Rob: Agreed. I put a rock shox push loc on my handle bar and now I can lock and unlock my rear shock with the push of a thumb. It works awesome. I don't have...
I have a '97 Y33 and swapped the stock Strata Pro for a Fox Float R 6.5x1.5 at the suggestion of Trek UK. Works just fine. So much better than the original...
... because they just make them obsolete. Good luck. ... Maby this can help http://www.risseracing.com/ They have a model that fits the Y bikes. Also if you...
I replaced my Strata Pro on my 97 Y-33 with a Rock Shox MC3.R with remote lockout. I also replace the Judy SL forks with Rock Shox Reba Team forks, also with...
Hello Trek Y group. I'm still seeking a good quality Trek Y with virtually no damage/blemishes to the frame. I realize this bike is old, but I want to get...
What would you guys recommend for rear shock replacement on a 97 Y3? I'm a big guy 6' 260 and looking for the best option for my weight and a middle of the...
After much research. Fox is the best company for rear shocks. The one you will get to fit your bike is the Fox Float 6.5" eye to eye and 1.5" stroke or...
So I purchased a new pair of these today and noticed they are much longer by about 2 inches than my current shocks. Can anyone tell me what this will do to...
Yup. I'm running a Fox Float R on my '97 Y33 and it's great. I'm a similar size to the OP also. The only difference is that I had the shock custom-valved to...
Every inch longer on your fork travel, reduce the head angle by approx. 1 degree so if you have 2 inch longer fork (stock is 80mm and you put a 120mm) then...
what size is the shock? you need a shock that is 6.5" long. Shocks come in many sizes. you need to get the specific shock that fits your bike. if it is...
Thank for the quick response...The Fox F100 Forks only have 100mm of travel. Looking back, the F80s probably would have been a better choice. Anyway, I had...
Don't worry about the 100mm forks on the Y! I replaced my 80mm Judy SL's with RockShox Reba Team 100mm forks and the they transformed the bike! It is more...
Thanks for the response...I didn't think they would make much difference. If I get a chance I'm going to throw them on tommorrow. Will keep everyone posted....
