Not really sections I would pedal anyways. It’s a big-wheeled fun wagon ready to go anywhere and take on any trail. This mountain bike marries fun and confidence. Granted, my local trails sometimes yield sections in excess of 30mph or more, but it's downhill standing, coasting. Stache 7 is a playful 29+ trail hardtail with 3 mid-fat tires, a ridiculously capable build, and a robust fork with 120mm of travel. Most of the people with this configuration are riding off road trails that really don't have enough wide open smooth pedalable sections to warrant such high gearing.
2018 TREK STACHE 7 SPECS HOW TO
Why is nobody sympathetic to your complaint?Īmong the mountain bike community, most of us know how to do minor changes to suit our region or style. It's a high performance machine designed to be ridden off road.Īsk yourself a couple of quick questions: Why are you the only one complaining about it. You bought a mountain bike, not a hybrid, not a bike to ride on the pavement to your trail.
You want it geared differently, go spend 30 bucks on the chainring of you're choice. Blaming Trek for something like this is a prime example of the modern problems of society. You wouldn't even use you high gear in my neck of the woods. /rebates/2fus2fenUS2fbikes2fmountain-bikes2ftrail-mountain-bikes2fstache2fstache-72fp2f220862f&252fus252fenUS252fbikes252fmountain-bikes252ftrail-mountain-bikes252fstache252fstache-7252fp252f22086252f26tc3dbing-&idtrekbikes&nameTrek+Bicycle&ra6. It would work fine for the majority of trail riding. )Ĭlick to expand.They didn't make a mistake, they used what they wanted. Moreover, I found that in the 2019 model they increased the frontal bump back to 30T so that in practice they actually found that their choice was wrong.īottom line, I do not recommend buying this model, and in lite of their type "good responses" if I will purchase any other bike from this manufacturer in future (after 3 previous models I had from them. In contrast, the slowest 28T / 46T mode is too slow and is not useful.Īll my calls to the company to replace the frontal touch with greater learning were not answered and ignored! The gear set with 28T in the front and 11T on the rear make the fastest ride suitable for 12-14 mph (?).
The gear set (Crank and cassette) of this 2018 model has been downgraded compared to any Stache 7 of previous years (2017 or 2016) as well as to any similar models of the company or of of any other manufacturers. First of all, with the gear set, and even more with the manufacturer response (or lack/poor response.).
Off topic question: Would you consider a backup set of take off wheelset from a 2018 Stach 9.7 a deal at $200? Hubs aside, do you think you're likely to bang up a wheelset with a 3.0 tire at 18lbs psi? No downhill in my future.I purchased this model six months ago. Condition: Certified Pre-Owned What's this Buy in monthly payments with Affirm on orders over 50. I think I can afford a dropper seatpost with the savings. Trek Stache 7 Mountain Bike - 2018, 17.5'. If the 2019 Stache 5 went back to the 2017 geometry, I feel like I have the same bike for $790 less. No buyers remorese because I feel I got a solid deal at 30% off for a 2017. All that I can see different between 20 are the dropper post and this small geometry change? It appears the extra length also raised the Stack 9mm. Would a 2018 have been worth the extra $250. While reading yesterday, I too was confused by the 2019 geometry being the same on Trek's website as 2017. SUNringle Duroc 50 SL, tubeless tape included, 28-hole, 50mm width, presta valve. Bontrager Switch thru axle, removable lever. I'd seen a youtube review that mentioned the change in geometry in 2018. Bontrager alloy, sealed bearing, 6-bolt, 54T Rapid Drive, Shimano 8/9/10 freehub, Boost148, 12mm thru axle. I do wonder whether the 2018 model's 15mm longer reach and wheelbase would make a material difference? I'm 5'4" and picked up a 15.5in model. The price difference was only $80 more for the Stache 5 vs the Roscoe 6. The Stache 5 felt lighter, and more responsive. I picked up a 2017 Stache 5 today after a Roscoe 6 test ride Monday, and the Stache 5 Tuesday.
