    Verve +2 Chain Guard Removal

    Hi Mike, The spacer goes between the chain ring and the motor. It looks like a plastic shim. I also read on this forum someone having the chain ring replaced with a different type--more of a mountain-bike style?--but my Trek shop went with the spacer, which Trek emailed me about before it was...

    Verve +2 Chain Guard Removal

    I can't add any info to the search for a new chain guard, but I thought I would mention that I removed the chain guard on my Verve+ 2 at 88 miles and have had no problems with pants touching the bare chain (I am now at 1,300+ miles). My chain came off at 88 miles and I had to visit bike shop to...

My thinking in going with the Trek+ Verve 2 was that while it is certainly not the most exhilarating ride, it is reliable (no one here seems to have expressed concerns about...

    2020 Verve+ 2 As Daily Commuter?

    Thanks, e-boy! I intend to test ride it, though because the dealer is pretty much in a flat area, I am also hoping there is a decent return policy if it fails me on the hills. I did try a higher-end Specialized Vado and that dealer is located on a steep hill. The Vado was a blast, but I am...

    2020 Verve+ 2 As Daily Commuter?

    Hi All, I was hoping you might provide your thoughts on using a 2020 Trek Verve+ 2 as a daily commuter. I am 5’ 11” and weigh 150lbs. I intend to put about 25 miles per day on this bike, with a few significant hills on my route. And I intend to ride it rain or shine. I like the Verve as it seems...
