Trek Fuel EX Coil 9

hey man, what do you think about the coil fork? any good?

thanks for the replay, yes that its odd, i have received your replay twice on my email, but i cant read it here... cheers

Short travel shreddder! nice

Does the coil touch the seat tube?

Great question, as this was a huge concern of mine when I first fit the shock on the frame. I added a patch of Xpel Armor protection film on the kink of the seattube just in case; that wouldn’t be a long term solution if there is contact but it would likely get me through a ride. At sag and as the shock moves to at least 50% of the stroke, the link is actually moving the upper shock eyelet forward and the coil is further away from the seattube. After a few rides now, one with a few jumps that bottomed the fork, I see no signs of contact on the frame or coil. There aren’t signs of the shock bottoming but all is safe for now.

Thanks....thinking of building almost this exact spec (when they arrive next year!!)

This one was assembled in WI through Project One, even though it was initially just a stock 9.8 XT. The turnaround at the time of order was 45 days instead of 6+ months.

Thank you!
