I’ve had my Wabash RT for just over a month now and it has been a game changer for me. I’m coming off a Trek Domane, carbon. Coming off a knee replacement, shoulder replacement. Coming off a 2013 Trek dual suspension ‘9er (the heavy one).
This bike has replaced my two bikes and I’m riding places I couldn’t before, technical single track not included.
I replaced those wide bars with FSA carbon drops off my Domane. Specialized seat, SPD pedals. I tried the egg beaters and may try again but most of my riding is road and the SPD’s seem to work well for me. I immediately changed to tubeless.
My bars are short and fat so have not fingered a way to mount the drop post lever on the bar. The mount will not fit around my fat diameter bar and have not seen a “fat” bar mount lever on line. Will try to fabricate one.
I struggled with climbs but now seek them out. Truth be told (don’t tell anyone) I’m 20 years older than when I started riding in my 50’s.
The motor makes up tor the extra weight. The Shimano GRX 1by drive train works so well for me. I ride roads my Domane would have broken on. I can now ride at 15 mph (a sweet spot for me) where I just could not sustain before. And 20 mph! Finally I can ride like the “big boys” do. Such a joy!
