Custom E Bike – Trek Rail 9.5

The greatest challenge I face at the moment is getting bikes people want and when they want them. 2021 is going to be a challenge for us all working in the bike industry as complete bike stock and common parts like cassettes and rear mechs are not due until late summer.

Our client wanted a Rail 9 back in October, but sadly the wait was too long and we needed to find a solution to get him his spec bike. He is a longstanding customer and he didn’t want to go elsewhere so we had to get creative. Perfecting bikes is what we do so taking off good components and replacing them with best is music to our ears.

All the major components had attention, forks, brakes, rotors, wheels, tyres, controls and there was nothing wrong with the original spec but when you have spent your life riding bikes you get to know how you want something to be. The new Fox 38 E-Bike specific fork and Magura MT7 brakes are the highlights. George took the original bike and stripped it completely before the full assembly with all the upgrades, very satisfying when the bike is complete again and rolls out the door. We plan to share more images in the future of how much work goes into assembling a bike well.

Do you have a bike already that is not working how it should or do you feel the bike is lacking something but you need some advice? Give us a try and see if we can help you. Just drop an email onto info@ride-bikes.com and we will be in touch as soon as we can.
