The Gary Fisher Joshua bike uses the same swing arm (that Ned was refering to) as Trek Y bikes. Maybe there are other sereies from Gray Fisher as well. - Andy...
Just FYI. I was browsing this morning 03/07/2008the Craigs List For Baltimore MD and found this. http://baltimore.craigslist.org/spo/594092693.html You can...
I am building a Y22, cream color with red TREK (1998 I think?) Anyway, the question is. . . I have already bought all new Deore XT m760 powertrain for it. Can...
WHEW! what a relief! I've been building my childhood dream for the last year and I am almost finished! With President Bush's "economic stimulus package in...
The way you discribe the colors of your Y22 (cream white with red trek letting) I would guess it is a 97 not a 98. But the easyer way to tell 97 from 98 is if...
I bought a set of Hayes cable actuated disc brakes for my Y-22. I drew up a design for the rear caliper mount, made a prototype out of foam, and had my...
Awesome!! Can you explain how you did that? Thanks, Wyatt2112 From: trekybikes@yahoogroups.com [mailto:trekybikes@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of mjhuppertz ...
They go through. We did a quick stress analysis and found the stress of the frame in that area travels along the outside top and bottom edges, so the impact is...
For what is not only the base model OCLV bike but a used one with most parts non original, I think this seller is being a bit hopeful. Maybe for a YSL300 new...
Neat as that does look, I can't see many people (if at all) being willing to drill holes in their irreplaceable rear swingarms. I really don't sit comfortably...
I feel I have to ask: Why the decision to bolt it through the swingarm rather than weld it on? ... anyone other than the addressee. If you receive this message...
Well. I have to agree with some of you here, this drillig through the swingarm does not sound so good. Recently i bought a Gary Fisher Joshua on ebay which has...
I can tell you that there is no comparison between the two brake types in performance. The Vee brakes were deplorable, so I switched to the more modern...
I can see a problem here. Any heat treatment causes a material to become more susceptible to being fragile. I hope you drilled the holes slowly, with lots of...
Cool bit drilling through heat treated material is fine. My machinist friend designs and builds amazingly complex equipment for the military and mining...
Fair enough - I ran a Muddy Fox DH frame, for which we knew there was a known weak spot in the rear triangle - I worked for Westland Helicoptors at the time,...
By the way fellas... can anybody recommend a good set of disk brakes... I kindly appreciate it. Thank you ... a ... LOL ... equipment ... a ... (FEA) ... down...
I got my Hayes set (front and back, discs and calipers) on sale from Performance Bicycle for only $30!!! They are cable actuated, so you can use your same...
Questions: I heard that certain disks add a bunch of weight... any comments. And, what do I have to do the rims and/or axils other than adding the obvious...

Ok... I've always heard horror stories of these Y bikes breaking. I have a '96 Y-22. Been through 5 race seasons and I still ride it and I love it and don't...
I think you've been fed too many scare stories! OCLV shouldn't shear like that without physical impact damage. It's really a very strong material, and Trek...
