![]() ![]() The shift to 29 meant that the driveside chainstay had to be repositioned in order to provide chainring clearance while maintaining chainstays that can be adjusted from 420mm down to 405mm. Trek has sought to keep the ride of the Stache lively by keeping the chainstay length as short as possible. Riders can use a 29 wheel and tires setup in the stache for maximum traction and floatation, or downsize to 27.5 for a more playful handling, last but not least, standard 29er hoops and tires can be used for a faster, cross-country ride experience:įrame geometry will change depending on wheel size, tyre size and fork choice ![]() Last but not least, standard 29er hoops and tyres can be used for a faster, cross-country ride experience. ![]() Riders can use a 29 wheel and tyres setup in the Stache for maximum traction and floatation, or downsize to 27.5 for more playful handling. This sliding dropout system provides 15mm of fore/aft adjustment and also allows the chainstay length to be adjusted to accommodate 29 as well as 27.5 and traditional 29in tyres. In addition to wider hub spacing, the Stache incorporates the sliding Stranglehold dropout system currently used on the Superfly SS, allowing the Stache to be run either geared or singlespeed. In each case, the goal is to widen the bracing angle between the spokes in order to bolster wheel stiffness. The Stache is the first Trek mountain bike to get ‘Boosted’ at both ends, meaning the frame features 148x12 rear spacing paired with a 110x15mm fork. According the trek, the company chose 29 because of the significant increase traction that 29 provided: According the Trek, the company chose 29 because of the significant increase in traction that 29 provided. Trek sought to make the Stache more capable by incorporating plus-sized tyres into the redesign and experimented with 27.5 and 29 sizes. For 2016, this trail-oriented 29er hardtail has been redesigned around 29 tyres. Trek introduced the Stache platform for the 2012 model year. The Waterloo, Wisconsin-based company has also reworked its fat bike, the Farley, and has a new full suspension model that will enable kids to keep pace with their parents on the trails. The biggest news, at least when judging by size, is a redesigned Stache built around the 29 tyre platform. Trek has just released details of a trio of 2016 mountain bike models. The Fuel EX JR is a scaled down version of the adult bike build around 26in wheels and features all the technologies we’ve come to expect on Trek’s full suspension rigs including an ABP rear suspension, 142x12mm rear axle and an E2 tapered head tube on the aluminum frame - Courtesy ![]()
