2019 stache 712/9/2023 By any chance does anyone know if the Chupacabra on 45mm rims would clear the Lauf? (In their website they only guarantee that for 2.8" tires, no info on what rim width). I'm planning to build a wheelset with Lightbicyle rims with 45mm internal width. I've seen pics of a couple of staches (9.8) with Lauf's and chupacabra's but not sure the width of the wheelset they are using. I wouldn't mind those effects to a certain point. ![]() I think it's probably longer than 495mm, in which case using the Lauf would increase the HT angle and lower the stack. It's a big-wheeled fun wagon ready to go anywhere and take on any trail. This mountain bike marries fun and confidence. Stache 7 is a playful 29+ trail hardtail with 3 mid-fat tires, a ridiculously capable build, and a robust fork with 120mm of travel. According to Lauf it trails the same as a 100mm fork.ĭoes anyone know the A-C of the stock Stache forks? I looked online for the specs of the Pike RL and couldn't find that. 2019 Stache 7 79 Reviews / Write a Review Model 564994 Retailer prices may vary. The A-C on this fork is 495mm and the rake 51mm. The bike is part of Trek 's Stache range of mountain bikes. It sports 29' wheels, is priced at 3,800 USD, comes in a range of sizes, including 15.5 in., 17.5 in., 19.5 in., 21.5 in., has RockShox suspension and a SRAM drivetrain. The other thing I'd do, if I need to, is move the seat a bit back and maybe move the wheel as far back as it can go on the dropouts.įork question: I'm planning to use a Lauf Boost fork (60mm travel). The 2019 Trek Stache 9.7 is an Cross Country Carbon mountain bike. My thinking is that the longer stem will make the steering slower but the narrower bar will take some/all of that effect back. I have a FS, a SS HT and a fat bike (all M/17.5") and all my handlebars are 690mm (with stems 80-90mm). Size question: What do you think of getting the 17.5", using a 70-80mm stem (as opposed to the 50mm stock), and a handlebar 710mm wide (vs. I was able to sit on a 19.5" and that one was definitely big (sold and w/o pedals, so I couldn't try it). However, I want to build a carbon frame and those only come in 17.5" and 19.5". Tires are setup tubeless (Maxxis Minion DHR II F/R) and pressures I run are 14/16. Bike was in really good shape and everything is working well. The LBS tells me there's the option of buying just the 18.5" frame (even that's not on Trek's website). So I have 2019 stache 7 that I bought used about 3 months ago to get back into MTB after an 8 year hiatus (last MTB was Cannondale Jekyll). Then I went to my LBS, tried a 17.5" and an 18.5" Stache 5 and confirmed the 18.5 is the perfect fit for me. Looking at geometry & sizing numbers (and comparing with those of my other bikes) I figured out the best size for me is the 18.5" (I'm 5' 10, 33" inseam). I'm planning to build a Stache frame for mix use - trail riding and some single track bikepacking. Ride the old bike while I build the new one. This is what I've done for the last several bikes I've built because I can't afford to just drop all the cash on all the parts at once. Your best option might be to continue riding the Stache while you accumulate what you need to build the Ogre. So yeah, chart out what you want/need for the Ogre and figure out if availability is a problem before you actually DO anything. This is more sporadic and will depend on specifically what you're after. On the Ogre build side, you have the scenario of some parts being hard to get for the same reasons that complete bikes can be hard to find. Doing so will potentially add some time to make the sale, but the number of people desperate for a bike right now is higher than usual, so it might not if you find one that wants your bike. ![]() ![]() And with bike availability being low right now, you can kinda command a bit of a premium. I also agree that selling the bike complete will be a much easier prospect all around. The other part of the question is if the parts from the stache are REALLY what you'd want to put on the Ogre, or if you're only considering it out of convenience.
