I'm with you Canard, that does seem like a sketchy fix. But who knows, give it some time and see how it goes. To answer your question, the new chainring my Trek shop installed was called a Narrow Wide (NW) chainring. I did not get a part number or any paperwork back from the shop, just dropped...

Thanks Canard! Very interesting....its not clear in their schematic as to the attachment detail for the new plastic chain guide. Does this get attached with the M4 threading screw to the chainguard, chainring or motor? It appears that this will be a 'fix' to chain slippage but it also appears...

Dunno Canard, first I've heard of a chain stop plastic piece for a chain guard. I've never heard of a plastic piece used as a chain guide and would like to know how this gets properly attached to the motor cover.....this all sounds very sketchy to me. Sounds like you are working thru an LBS and...

Just my opinion, but no one, including a Trek tech, can guarantee that a bicycle will never have a chain slip...get it in writing/speak into my microphone dealio on that conversation! I have had the fix he mentioned and afterwards my chain slipped. My take is the only reason for having the...

Update: Chain slipped again on my Verve +2 and 15 minutes later on the roadside with a multi tool it was reset. I had Trek install the narrow wide (NW) chainring a few months back and seemed to work fine until the other day. I returned home, removed the right pedal, pulled the funky OEM...

Linda, I feel your pain. After a year of dealing with the chain slip on my Verve +2 here is my advice: 1. Immediately take your bike back to your Trek dealer and have them diagnose the issue. They will make it right. Most likely they will install a narrow wide (NW) chainring for you at no cost...

Update: After 8 months of riding with my new and improved NW chainring I had a chain slip yesterday while out on a ride. Months ago I had elected to leave the OEM chainguard in place. After 15 minutes of monkeying around with the horrible OEM chainguard on the road, the simple task of resetting...

I had a similar experience with my verve +2 and the solution was to have Trek replace (under warranty) the front chain ring to what they termed a Narrow Width (NW) chain ring. You can check back a few months to the thread titled 'Verve +2 Chain is constantly slipping' discussion for more info...

Never moved past the concept phase Mike. I checked with my local Trek tech and he told me it wasn't easily doable and would require some hunting around for a new ring and guard that would work. According to him Trek/Bontrager had no such part. Now, he told me this as he was changing out my front...

Reporting back on performance of the new NW chainring. Have put around 100 miles on the NW chainring and no problems. Most of the riding has been on varied terrain, mostly flat to 3% grades but, this morning rode up Palomar Mountain South Grade Rd - 7 miles at 7% and the chainring felt solid...

Update on chainring change out on my 4 month old Verve +2 at Trek today.. Everything went smoothly with changing my factory chainring with the NW chainring. Part was ordered from WI 2 weeks ago and it took about an hour for the install and work was completed under warranty. Great service, I'm...

My 2020 Verve +2 has the factory installed full length chainguard that makes it difficult to access the chain for resetting after a chain slip and for general maintenance. I'd like to replace this with a more typical circular chain guard attached to the outside of the chainring. Has anyone...

Bill - I do like the safety aspects of riding with lights on during daytime and do follow this when out riding. I will continue to do so. I very rarely ride after dark so that aspect is of little concern to me. I suppose my reasoning for changing the factory setting on the lighting is to allow...

Will do

Went to my local Trek store today for my 60+/- day post purchase free tune up of my 2020 Verve purchased this past June. I love the bike, most fun I've had on a bike in 50 years.....but, chain drops - dropped my chain 3 times over about 500 miles of riding. A royal PITA to reset the chain out on...

Considering the addition of a front rack for light weight (30# +/-) pannier loading on my 2020 verve +2. Looking at the Bontrager Carry Forward front rack and looking for opinions from others on fit compatibility, satisfaction and/or additional ideas. Thanks in advance! Howard

Great help Angela, thanks!

I'm researching e bikes and discovered a claim from Bosch that their Activeline drivetrain has 3 sensors that conduct 1000 measurements per second. What exactly are they measuring? As far as I know there are really only 2 primary inputs into a typical bicycle drivetrain and those are torque on...
