Slave Posted November 28, 2008 Share Hi fellow hubbers. I am negotiating to get a Trek frame to build up my new ride. (Roadie) I read something on the Trek bikes website and it raises the concern that the frame geometry is such that the toe of my shoe is likely to make contact with the front wheel while pedalling in a slow, tight turn. Is this true? Anyone ride a Trek who can give me any kind of indication as to the bike road stability, hadndling characteristics, frame rigidity? Frame in question is a 1500, I think 2005 model with alu frame and carbon front forks. Is it a reasonable bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canaris Posted November 28, 2008 Share It is not a trek problem, but consistent to most road bikes. You are not supposed to a. take slow turnsb. pedal in tight turns. Trek is know to have a rather unorthodox geometery, with top tube and down tube being close to the same length. Also the seat post angle is about 75% which is aggressive in realtion to other bikes. BRUCE is known to love trek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted November 28, 2008 Share Wait until you turn and your foot gets stuck behind the wheel and you can't staighten out your steering. It happens with almost all bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
