FREERIDE MADEIRA CROSS COUNTRY MOUNTAIN BIKING - WHAT TO EXPECT
I never knew a chain could be so shiny! Very meticulous method but chain maintenance doesn't seem that bad now after this!
i used to have a madone 2014 7 series with mechanical dura ace groupset and mavic cosmic carbone wheels whick were not paticulary light it weighed 6.8 kg it was discontinued when the emonda was introduced , strangely the emonda morphed into the madone that i had in its last iteration
Very informative video. How much is the top speed with the outway rack mounted with 2 bikes, according to the manual? Thanks
Thank you!! I couldn’t see a top speed in the manual. But when driving at 70mph i felt that if i went any faster it would not be great.
🙌🤟
most stupid video i have seen. clickbait trash
How do you know you’ve not had a puncture that simply sealed as designed?
Most times you will see the sealant on your bike. The sealant I’m using is pretty tough to clean off as it solidifies pretty quickly.
Great video! It looks like the number plate is obscured and to some extent the lights, is that something to be concerned about?
Hi Linda, thank you!! I haven’t had any issues with it blocking my license plate or lights. Works very well!
So the Anticlockwise is 1000 meters and it is 300 meters at the same time?
Sorry the clockwise route has around 300 meters of climbing
Awesome views , great place to seeeeeend it. Love your videos Dan. Best UA-cam Channel❤
Thank you! Means a lot❤️
Great balanced review 👍 researching for a gravel bike & the length of this bike on paper is something that I’m not sure of
Thank you!! It’s definitely worth having a try on the bike first and really think of how much you are stretching out.
beautiful bike but a little disappointed on how much it weighs considering this is suppose to replace the Emonda, we're looking at a over 7.5kg bike (even with DA pedals) when competitors are looking at just UCI legal weights is just a little disappointing coming from a massive company like trek where ik for a fact they don't skimp out on R&D
Great footage, especially the mountains in the background....
Thanks Reenesh!! Amazing place to visit and ride!
Thanks for the presentation! I have the AL 2 3rd generation. What generation is the bike?
Thank you for watching! It’s the Gen 4
Why it is hunch pack position? Can't you do it standing more straighter.
Looking back I realised I was slipping into a bad habit. I’m still using the machine till this date and focus on keeping a straight back. I’ve never had an issue with my back *touch wood* do a lot of strengthening and flexibility exercises.
Nike Air Max 90s SPD would be a dream 😂 Are these OK to walk in? Some say they are not and some say they are 🤷♂️
That would be a sick spd shoe! They are ok, easier to walk in than stiff mtb cycling shoes. But you can still feel the cleat when on mixed surfaces
Looks really great in 2024 colours with minimalist trek logo. Thanks for your video, seems like a really good s/r ratio for someone of my (un)fitness level 😉
Really great bike and good to grow with upgrades!!
They messed up with size reduction. I’m in between. The small was to small and medium was to big - it felt ok but on a longer ride it wouldn’t be fun. My gen7 madone in the proper exact size is much better -
I've an SL5 in radioactive red. Now with GRX 12 speed, Zipp gravel bars, Bontrager XXX stem in 10cm length (to bring to same reach as my road bikes), aeolus pro 47v wheels, uprated lower headset and bottom bracket bearings. It's a bit like Trigger's Broom. Races it at the Gravel150 event in the Netherlands last weekend. ua-cam.com/video/sUN4FvJpYQA/v-deo.html
Nice set up!! Which GRX 12 speed you upgrade to? Would love to run a sram mullet set up!
@@DanEscapes 2x mechanical. I ran SRAM cx1 on my CX bike. After that experience, I'm unlikely to ride SRAM again.
Should I get a Domane or a Checkpoint?
Depends if you want more road focus or gravel. I love the versatility though of the check point. The domane has a more relaxed geometry compared to the checkpoint, so if you prioritise comfort then maybe the domane. Personally for me it would be the checkpoint, great off road and if you get a road set of wheels works really well too!
on the fork that yari can be upgraded with a charger damper to be the best fork in rockshox lineup and saves yoy money
Great bit of advice!!
I know that route well and that you avoid that bottom part in all but a few months of the year 🤣🤣🤣 quite a timely video as I'm facing the first world problem of whether to change my pro cal for a super cal. Something of an all rounder for some ultra racing which has roads, gravel, trails etc. I think it could offer some extra comfort but is it worth the additional spend?
I have noted for next time to avoid that part 😂 the pro cal is a great bike but if you want more comfort and versatility then definitely the super cal is the one. Justinas recently won the tour divide on a super cal. Obviously it’s more the rider than the bike, but think the previous year he was on the pro cal and opted for more comfort. Big difference is getting good light wheels and tires.
Did you download the trek app and set the motor to suit your usage or did you just use it as set up by the shop. Did you adjust the motor settings in any way to see how the bike functions in various scenarios
Unfortunately I didn’t, just kept it as the standard settings. Would love to have the bike a bit longer to try it out though. The standard setting were enough for me as I try not to use the motor until I get to a tough section.
Service the wheels? What service is there, except swap out the bearings? Unless you’re pulling the seals and re greasing the bearings.
I had to change a couple of bearings but serviced the ones that were ok, but will replace them soon as pulling off the seals isn’t great.
Video shows a lot of vibration through the arms. Did the changed cockpit make a difference?
Checkpoint has a 72.5 head angle, with 61.9 trail. That’s road bike territory…snappy but inherently bumpy.
This hike is another example that social midia has the power to destroy places. I'm a local and can't go to some hikes anymore in my own island. Because everthing is getting so crowded. This is very sad and should be controled.
Is there a film on the entire frame to protect it from scratches? What is the product called?
There is, it’s by a company called “Ride Wrap”
@@DanEscapes Thank you!
Automotive industry uses a Clear Bra film to protect paint.
Horrible bike bloody save 10w with aero bottle cage .180 mm rotor what is mtb? 😅
Love the view
Can’t get enough of it!!
Great video and good insight, got a 2023 Slash 7 coming my way soon courtesy of Cycle to work scheme
Amazing!! Still love this bike and really enjoy riding it!! Super stable and confidence inspiring!
Just ordered mine, looking forward to wearing mine along the coast of the Delmarva peninsula…
Use this helmet all the time, so comfortable and light weight. Forget you even have it on. Let me know how you get on with it and enjoy the Delmarva Peninsula!
@@DanEscapes 👍🏼💯🚴🏼♂️
Shimano dura ace di2 12 speed will be lighter
What degreaser, lube did you use?
I own a Checkpoint SL5 myself. Of course I have optimized it a little. Now it fits like a glove. This bike was the best investment I made in 2023. It's fast and very stiff. I love it, which is why I ride it a lot more than my Emonda Palmarés or Orbea Alma at the moment.
Checkpoint is such a smooth bike to ride! Love riding it all the time! The Emonda Palmares is 👌🏼
@@DanEscapesI have a trek carbon hybrid bike , does this bike make lot of clicking sounds
Mid life Lycra boys at the minnimal change a bike brand makes to a bike they completely lose their shit, pretty wild how marketing works
RIP eMonda
I know 😢
@@DanEscapes I got one just in time 🙏
@@steve33rocklynch they stopped doing P1 on the emondas a while back
I currently had an incident where a motorcycle hit the chainstay of my Slash and dented it. Do you know of any stores where I can import a The TREK 2021 Slash 7 chainstay? I'm from Brazil. Hug.
Fanatastic bike. Love the look
Looks good!!
What an amazing bike and review . Great video Dan... Love your videos ❤
Thank you!!
We have seen this new "Madone" and in our honest opinion It seems totally an Émonda with the Isoflow system.😢
Damn Trek bikes are so nice.
👍🏼
If there was any bike to not clamp by the seat post…
Does the bike come with a Garmin/Wahoo mount or do I have to buy one separately?
With the slr model it comes with a mount, and has a garmin and wahoo puck mount you can choose between
I got one
How’s it been?
A step backward.
I have a 2022 Domane. Maybe this as a 2nd bike ;)
Will be a great 2nd bike!! I tried one out briefly and felt smooth and fast and if you like the wide tires on the domane can add them to this bike.
Does sram own trek? Lately I don't think I've seen Shimano with a Trek bike......
I know they are partnered for their race teams. You can get all the madone gen 8 models with shimano, and you can only get sram with the SL 6, SLR 7 and SLR 9. That is here in the UK not sure about the rest of the world.
Very nice review, Thank You
Thank you for watching!
At this price I prefer a Mazda 3. Crazy.
Mazda is definitely faster 😂
Пленку с логотипа TREK должен снимать новый владелец! Только!
Nice bike but I still prefer aero bikes with the wide fork and wide down tube..
The gen 7 does look good!
