Just got a naked Y-22 & URT I need to get this thing on the road and I'm new to the Y-scene. It's a medium Y-frame and I'm 5'11". I need a good front fork and...
Ok guys, was wondering if there are any Trek Y's for sale here currently. I am interested in getting a nice yellow or orange Y11/Y22. However I am open to...
... I think it is a fair price When the bike is still in very good condition. Most on ebay sell for the same or in europe for far more. On german ebay they...
I have the same exact bike & it's in excellent condition. I have test drove / ridden a few top end full suspension bikes over the past few months from local...
I've got a yellow Y33 medium size that I'm thinking of selling... ... From: Brad <vespav12@...> To: trekybikes@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 5,...
I am going to upgrade to a 9 speed setup (from 7) and am curious about my bottom bracket choices. Is there a standard size, and are our URT's compatible? ...
Mark, If you are still going to use a square taper type crank arm, you will not need to change your BB. Switching to 9 speed really only requires changing your...
Haven't looked into the details too much yet. I guessing I'm going to need all new cable routing, anyone know for sure? Is everything else compatible? Bottom...
... Mark, you do not need to change BB, crankset or chainrings, they will work perfectly well with a 9spd chain. Your FD will also work, but front shifting...
I have a question... I just got really lucky recently and found a brand new Y-11 in it's original box since 1998. My bike shop could not believe it when they ...
I am a neophyte...I just got a new Trek Y-bike, and have a pedal question. Can anybody explain to me what the benefits/disadvantages of regular pedals versus...
Hey - congrats on a GREAT find! Look forward to seeing those pics!! Clip type pedals can save some weight (every little bits counts if you race) and also...
... The tyres and tubes will probably be perished, although I must confess that I have some old knobblies from '92 that I still throw on my commuter bike...
... Platform pedals allow you to use any shoes and are probably better for technical riding on the limit of your abilities, as they give you more confidence of...
A little crazy idea but I was wondering is it possible to fit an GT I Drive swingarm to a Trek Y carbon frame? Some of the earlier GT I- Drive URT look vary...
No, it wont work at all - the rear swingarm contains a massive section for the I Drive mechanism and dogbone - which would rule out it for use with anything...
forgot about the dogbone on the I-drive system, perhaps you could make a bracket that bolt onto the water bottle cage hole on the Y downtube. Not sure if its...
Hello all, I have a 96 Y-22 (all original) that I finally pulled out of the garage and tried to ride. Well - the Judy XC elastomer donuts have seen better days...
OK - what do I need to spec on new forks if I want to run a front disc someday? Rear disc would be nice too - but now we're talking candy - not stuff I really...
You need a standard, uncut Rockshox/ Fox etc. They all are 1 1/8", all will be long enough if uncut and all will have disc mounts. The only decision is whether...
When I upgraded my fork (well, snapped the old one) I grabbed the opportunity to fit a front disc brake at the same time (already had disc hubs on the bike) so...
Fork wise, I can only echo the already give advice. However I need to point out that a well set up V-Brake, with a clean and well maintained cable setup works...
I looked for a brace (not very hard, I'll admit) about a year ago and discovered that they're quite difficult to come by now as there's not much call for them....
Hey - thanks for the replies everyone. I need to pull the old Judy XC off the bike and measure it to see what the headset length is - it will only be an issue...
Funnily enough, it's not actually critical that the op face of the steerer tube is cut *precisely* at 90° because it takes no load. Obviously the nearer you...
