New disc brakes wonвЂ™t deliver their full power until the rotor and pads have bedded in. If your brakes start feeling a little spongy after a few weeks, you can adjust them at the barrel or the clamp or ask a mechanic at your local bike shop to do it for you.

This is partly why new bikes come with a first free service. you have to pull the lever much further back or harder in order to get the same stopping power you once had. The symptom here is that they usually start to feel quite loose.

Your brakes will also be affected by cable stretch (provided of course that they are NOT hydraulic in which case this does not apply). This tune up is considered a necessary part of any bicycles maintenance schedule and as such should not be ignored. It is advisable to get the cable tension adjusted as soon as this happens either by your local bike shop. A front derailleur may no longer want to shift all the way onto the big ring or will require a much firmer push to get it there. Generally you may have to shift up, or shift down a couple times to quiet it down and settle the derailleur into a вЂњhappy gearвЂќ. A rear derailleur that we have tuned to hit every gear, nicely and quietly, may now not be making each shift causing a sensation and sound of вЂњbeing in between gearsвЂќ. CABLE STRETCHД¬able stretch tends to occur shortly after a new bike has been ridden a few times. As a result, the gears may need tweaking, some nuts and bolts may need tightening and you may well need to check the adjustment of the saddle and handlebars. A couple guys say they've done it on that one.After the first few weeks of use, the whole bike will settle down. Here's a video of someone who did a BBSHD on a Dicks Sporting Goods Raised chainstay bike. A 3 speed Sturmey Archer IGH will make it stronger and simplify chainline and chainring size selection.The raised chainstay does make a belt drive Alfine 8 speed IGH a possibilty. The hard part for you may be getting it to go slow enough to ride in the woods. But it will probably be easier if you can run a 42t ring. How wide is the rear hub on that? I've personally only built a couple of older 26' TrekGF 26' bikes so others may know more than I do. Treks traditionally used a 73mm bottom bracket width. Can a 42t ring clear the chainstay in all gears? I would try that first. Quality parts and regular maintainence and repalcement will be required. Chainrings smaller than 42T need to go outside the motor and may not be able to use the lower cogs. You need to investigate the chainline issue. Thanks in advance for any help you share! I just don't want to tear into my beautiful Stache 7 (The Green Goblin) only to find out the systems just don't work good together and have weaknesses that could leave me broken down in the woods.

I am very good at bike mechanics and have plenty of tools and power equipment, so the technical side doesn't scare me.

What chainring size would be best for a BBSHD? Is the Trek unique raised chainstay an issue, or is it a benefit? Specifically, is the 11-speed chain too weak and narrow to handle the BBSHD power? It seems the narrow 11/12 speed chains are often mentioned as not as strong as 10sp or 9sp chains. Looking at the specs and pic attached, is there anything you see that would make this bike NOT a good candidate for a Bafang BBSHD kit, like the kit Luna sells? So I have some questions I am hoping I could have answered or given advice on. I really like the upgrades I have done on this bike, but I am also smitten with eBike technology and capability, especially in my very hilly and mountainous Virginia location. Also dual-piston Shimano XT brakes and other mods. BOOST 36H hubs, Sapim spokes, and Easton rims. I have a 2017 Trek Stache 7 29+ (3' tires) that have a custom wheelset of White Bros.
