I bought my Trek Roscoe 8 in May of 2020 in the Marigold Fade and loved that color scheme, but due to a crack along the weld at the seat stay/seat tube junction I now have what is technically a 2021 X Caliber frame in mat black w/ white and silver decals. Like you I have made a few changes: 40mm Race Face Affect Stem, 780mm wide 35mm clamp RF Affect bar, clipless pedals (I have been riding clipless for nearly 30 yrs), saddle to a Shimano Pro Turnix (came off my road bike), Grips to RF Getta Grip in 33mm, currently running Vittoria Martello 27.5 x 2.8's (They're a trail/enduro oriented tire, but I ride alot of rock) , and upgraded the Fork to a Rockshox Revelation 120mm (the Gold 35 kept having major issues with maintaining pressure or just collapsing like it had zero air). I know Trek has upgraded the newer Roscoe to a more current geometry, but I am still super happy with my current one. It does everything I need and more. The best bike is the one you have that makes you want to ride, and my Roscoe is it for myself. Since there isn't a model name on the replacement frame Trek sent me, I call mine a Roscoe X. Sorry for rambling, I enjoy your content, and definitely enjoy seeing the scenery you get when riding.

Thanks for the review. Yep, part of the fun is personalizing your bike. I've looked at a ton of bikes and the Roscoe 8 is the one I'm zeroed in on.

Roscoe is really fun and durable. i've got 4000km's/2500miles on my roscoe 8 '21 model. I did find the front tooth ring too small for faster flatter roads, so i put one bigger on it. Yours still look brand new, nice!

Sound like fun, I'm getting exactly dryer same Roscoe, same color same year brand new next week, can you share your upgrade I would like to do the same thing after finishing stock 27.5 2.8 stock tires.

Love this video I watched like 3 times in the last two weeks. I just bought this Roscoe same year 2021 with same color. Only problem for me is the HUB noisy and even worse the engagement is terrible. First I am going to expend some money on the frame protection since I LOVE the paint color on this bike and to protect it a s much as I can and then going to save for the new hub. Pedals suck! BTW... All stock bicicle pedals suck. One again great video, you definitely were one of the reason to go with my Roscoe

@user-hd2vx9gq7p 6 күн бұрын

Hot bike. What slash guard are you using? Do they protect you? Would they protect a rider behind you?

@mtbrookie596 4 күн бұрын

Hi bro. I have simple Fox guards. Cost about £15… To be honest, the protection is minimal… but it looks awesome!

@elprofequecorre 5 ай бұрын

Es una bicicleta excepcional, comparto mucho tus apreciaciones y déjame decirte que la tienes bien personalizada, me gusto mucho la protección del marco que le pusiste me gustaría saber si eso lo puede hacer uno o necesita de alguien profesional.

Hi my friend You can do it at home with a kit from Amazon or EBay. Search for All Mountain Style AMS High Impact Frame Guard Or AMS MTB protection

35 mm handlebar is too stiff. Otherwise I would have love to continue using it as it just fits aesthetically
