    Bosch PowerTube 500 RIB Handle Broke

    The carry handle of the PowerTube 500 for my Domane+ broke this past weekend. I typically remove it for charging and transporting the bike in our SUV (makes it lighter and easier to handle getting in & out of the SUV plus allows the battery to be stored in cool basement rather than garage). The...

    Possible to Switch Batteries? (cross posted to Trek Forum as well - please delete if that's not allowed)

    I have a 2019 Domane+ the (per the specs here) has a Bosch PowerTube 500wh. I am looking at options for my wife and came across an in-stock Allant +7 at the LBS and description says Bosch PowerTube 500. Other than the navy v. matte black fashion statement, is there any reason I couldn't use...

    Acoustic Alternate / Backup Bike

    I am considering buying an acoustic bike as an alternate / backup for when my 2019 Domane+ is unavailable. I just put 2 new wheels on the Domane+ (DT Swiss HE 1800 Spline 32 - 700 12 x 100MM on front and 700 12 x 142 on the rear) and due to supply chain issues everyone is facing, it was in the...

    Replacement Wheels for 2019 Domane+

    Got into a fight with a pothole on my 2019 Domane+ last week. Good news, I stayed upright. Bad news, LBS says I "smoked" both wheels. Bent (not broken) spoke and bulges on the rim at each impact point. LBS is recommending Velocity for $500-$600 installed. Bike is heavy (~48 lbs) and I am about...

    Domane+ ALR

    Just cruising around on the Trek website (looking for a step thru that I can convince my wife she will enjoy) and saw there is now a Domane+ ALR with an MSRP of $4,600. I don't recall seeing that option previously and wondered if anyone has seen one "out in the wild?" Seems like a good idea to...

    CrossRip+

    Anyone heard anything on this model? Discussion starts at 2:39 of the video after the SuperCommuter info. I'll be surprised if the price stays at $3,800 when it lands in stores. Very interested in something that at least looks more like a road bike (I'm sure it's just the drop handlebars) in...

    New from Northern KY

    Looking at E-bikes at I approach 50th birthday. Lots of hills near the Ohio river and all the roads home from a joyous ride are uphill. I've proven to myself that I WON'T go ride my Trek road bike (light as a feather) because I don't want to climb huge hills at the end of my ride. Looking at...

    Best E-bike for me?

    Posted over in the Trek forum, but thought I'd bring the question over here as well to get a broader spectrum of opinion and audience. LBS has a Conduit+ on sale for $2500. Is that a good deal? Still charging MSRP for the Lift+ which makes it $300 more than the Conduit+. Seems crazy. There is...
