In this episode myself, Foxy and Matty build my new bike, the Trek Emonda ALR. We still manage to get some coffee and cake and someone misplaces a crucial part for the build.

Love how Foxy "misplaced" the headset bearings, just to remind you how invaluable he is by "finding" them

My 2016 first Gen ALR is a fantastic bike. I've bought and sold many bikes, but I keep this bike. I put force AXS on it a couple of years ago, it's fantastic. Ritchey carbon bars, stem, and Bontrager RSL carbon post, and Aeolus Pro 5 wheels

@jestag2 4 ай бұрын

I own a '04 Trek 1500 SLR size 52 with aluminum box section clinchers with the only things made of carbon are the Reynolds UL fork, Bontrager seatpost and cages and a cheap unbranded saddle from China. With pedals it weigh 7.43 kg. Saving some money to get a pair of deep section carbon rims to shave the weight to about 7.1 kg.

I am considering buying this same frame and building with SRAM Rival etap. Trek website says 28 mm tires max. What’s the clearance with 32mm tires? Nice build overall. Thanks for sharing this video.

@benjaminlechappers 4 ай бұрын

Let me check

@mlee6050 4 ай бұрын

I held my tubular 22mm to my frame so get idea where bigger tyre sits but take this with pinch of salt max gap between stays is 36mm so anything below that be clearance, like 32mm should give 2mm each side (I don't know minimum clearance people recommend on a bike to use), forgot to add I haven't measured from where tyre be to seat tube The 36mm was gap between chain stays and think seat stays ones going down to meet wheel? Have a bigger gap than 36mm

@roberts1159 4 ай бұрын

@@mlee6050 Trek recommends 4mm clearance between frame and tires. 2mm would be to close for me in my opinion.
