I’m looking at a Fuel EX8 Gen 5, Top Fuel 8 or 9.7. Any I’d agree the bars are way too wide. I’d bang trees on the Tidewater area single track. Thank you for the fork and wheel change description. Question. Do you wish you had remote lockout for the smooth gravel climbing?
For the lockout, I had a dual remote on my previous bike - 2020 Top Fuel. I ended up removing the front and only used the rear. The only time i notice the front needing to be locked is when standing and mashing the pedals. On smooth gravel, it's easy enough to reach down and turn the dial to lock it out
Glad you and the Trek held up! Congrats
Thanks Allan!
