New OCLV NEXT Thermoplastics Material Debuts on Bontrager Aeolus Pro 37V & 49V Wheels https://bikerumor.com/bontrager-aeolus-pro-thermoplastic-carbon-37v-49v-wheelset/ #FeatureStories #ActualWeights #GravelBikes #Bontrager #RoadBike #News

Ok #biketooter o gracious cyclists of the #cycling community I have a tech question. Are #bontrager Connection wheels #tubless compatible? Tubes are fine but you know how it is, always need a new project. #trekbikes

Mein "tailfin":

#Bontrager #BackRack Deluxe mit ca. 600gr und einem Preis von 42€

Niby mam już 3.sezon te #bontrager #flareRT ale jestem nieco zawiedziony. Nie dość, że od początku są problemy ze wskazaniem prawidłowego poziomu naładowania i trzeba resetować (odkryłem PO dłuższej chwili), to jeszcze ... Takie coś. #cycling #bicycle

Ale tak, dostałem za darmo drugi egzemplarz i mam na zmianę. Tak,.bo nie jest moja wina, że wsparcie techniczne jest poniżej oczekiwań i nie ogarniają tak prostych rzeczy, jak reset fabryczny. No, przynajmniej wysyłają nowe lampki w ramach gwarancji.

My friend was complaining that his 6 month old #Trek Bike was making crunchy sounds when riding. So I pulled it apart to see what was wrong. Turns out the rear wheel bearing cone on the chain side of his #Bontrager wheel was completely stuffed. It was making the crunchy noises from the day he bought it. The same wheel has also had 5 spokes snap in ordinary city riding. (The guy that owns this bike does not treat it badly, he uses it as his primary in-city transport.)
I put new cones, bearings and spokes in it, and it's fixed.

I believe the cone was faulty from the factory, as only one cone on side of the hub was damaged.

He didn't take it back under warranty because High Street Cycles in Shepparton closed down the day after he purchased it. And the nearest Trek warranty repairer is over 150KM away in Albury.

the rest of the Trek bike has been perfectly good, the disc brakes are a little loud, but other than that good. the only issues he's had with it have all been issues with the Bontrager wheels.

I wouldn't recommend Bontrager wheels after this.
