I rode it until the summer of 2015 when I began riding the plus size wheels, so this frame has about 1.5 years of use. Trek said they had some heat treating issues with a few of the first Stache frames, so they replaced that frame in 2014. When I went to convert it to the 142 mm thru-axle, the axle would not line up. I originally ran it with the 135 mm QR axle until early 2014. The rear hub features the DT-Swiss star ratchet freehub, which is among the most reliable, and easy to maintain on the planet. Very easy to setup and maintain tubeless, which they are, with a fresh batch of sealant installed a week ago. There are no holes to seal, as the spoke bed is solid. This means that there are no rim strips or tape to be applied.
The DT-Swiss M1800 Tubeless wheels are not just ‘tubeless ready’, they are ‘tubeless’. I would estimate the height range for this frame to be for folks that are in the 6’ 3” to 6’ 7” range. I am in the 6’ 4” to 6’ 5” range, and the frame fits me perfectly. The frame is an XXL size, but Trek made the seat tube 21.5” rather than 23” so they could offer a lower standover height. The frame is in excellent condition with no dings or dents, and only a few very minor scratches. Weight is in the 27 lb range the last time I weighed it (weighed with a dropper post and pedals). Weekend warrior types could race XC on this bike, but the true design intent for this bike is for getting rowdy out on the trails. However, I have since moved on to ‘plus’ size wheels and cannot justify keeping this. If you would have told me a year ago that I would be selling this bike, I would have laughed, and said “no way”.
