I think you did get the right bike . Looking at the roads and paths you ride , i think it's a good choice . Hope you enjoy your bike . Just came across your video after looking at various bike videos.
I got the same bike a few months back. I live in New Orleans and our streets are jacked up, and so far the bike had handled all the cracks and potholes. One recommendation is to get tubeless tires. I just upgraded my tires and it makes the ride so much faster with less effort. It’s a little expensive, my upgrade was around $280 after parts and labor.
Hey Brandon, thank you for the video! It helped me man. I live in Colorado and I to am buying my 1st nice bike. I will be using it to commute to work and use to loose belly fat + have fun and ride around lakes. I do have a question though, you are using the Dual Sport 2 Gen 5, have you had any issues w/ tire pressure or tires at all for the tube version? I'm contemplating the 3 Gen 5 for tubeless riding. Mainly, on rough gravel, cracks in the road and stuff like that, has that impacted your rides using a tubed style tire? Thanks bro! I appreciate you man, much obliged and have a fruitful 2024 for you and yours. -JRoot
@mrodom88 Thank you. That is a relief to know. I pulled the trigger today and got the dual sport. I can't wait to ride it around. Yesterday it snowed, but tomorrow it's supposed to be 60 Degrees....Colorado weather haha. Thanks a ton Brandon, enjoy your Trek :) your video and content was very helpful man. Much obliged. May you and yours have a blessed & fruitful 2024. Salute, Na Zdravie, 🍻 #EnjoyTheRide -JRoot
Mr Brandon .... do you like "numb" fingers??? The handle-bar grips are not set up correctly on your bike. They need to be rotated around (up) until the palms of your hands just lay on top of the flats of those ego grips ... the flats need to match to your fore-arms ... no "bendy" of the wrist !!!! And you steer w/ the palms by pushing the bars leaving your finger tips free for the brakes/shifters ...
I just got the same bike. So many choices but you chose the right bike for your needs. Its actually a very comfortsble bike to ride

Definitely a nice bike. Great for biking for miles. usually about half the max PSI is the minimum of PSI. I used to fix bikes as a kid
Looking at this ride i.e. your town/terrain, seems like the DS is a great choice.
Be safe out there bro.
