But if you’re not the original / registered owner–you’re out of luck.
the more spokes), the more evenly the stress is distributed around the wheel.) If you bought the bike new and your wheel(s) fail within a year… two years… three years… etc–as long as they weren’t involved in a crash–Trek would generally replace them for free.
(The more points of contact you have on the hubs / rims (i.e. And since they also reduce the number of spokes on those wheels to the bare minimum (typically 16 to 20 in the front and 18 to 24 in the back), the main points of failure are the spoke holes in the hubs and the spoke holes in the rims… because those have to be under tremendous tension to keep the wheel true. This obviously makes the wheels much more prone to failure since thinner / lighter = weaker. But to get those wheels super light, they have to shave every spare gram of material off the hubs and rims with CNC machines. (The original factory wheels on this bike would have been Bontrager Race X Lite’s… which are decent wheels… if your bike is under warranty… and you’re under 175 lbs. We tried to talk him out of that bike–it was just too much bike for him–and the frame (58cm) was a bit long for his height–but he fell in love with the bike–and with the idea of being a bad ass cyclist–and (as a doctor) he has plenty of money… so, he bought it anyway.Īfter spending a fair amount of money on custom fitting and changing out a few parts on that bike–he could never quite get comfortable on it–but he had definitely been bitten by the biking bug–so he went into the local Trek dealer and bought himself a brand new Domane 5.9–in a 56cm–and sold the 6.9 SSL back to us–along with the take-off wheels from the 5.9 Domane… which we decided to use on this bike. About a year before that we sold him a REALLY nice Madone 6.9 SSL Pro–but that’s a straight up racing bike–Tour de France level–and he was just getting into cycling–and he really doesn’t ride that much, that far, or that fast. The wheels are basically brand new “take offs” from a 2017 or 2018 Trek Domane 5.9 that a friend of mine bought and immediately put $2000 carbon fiber wheels on. So we had the bike boxed up and shipped down to us (from the midwest) and stripped it down to the frame and started over with top of the line Dura Ace parts from our inventory. And, not knowing these frames the way WE know these frames–from buying / selling–and riding–dozens of them over the years, they probably had no idea what they had. When we bought the bike some knucklehead had built up the frame with some really shitty / random components. So, once you strip all the parts off, the the geometry and construction of the frames are identical. What differentiated the models (5.2/5.5/5.9) was the type of carbon fiber used in the frame (OCLV 120 or OCLV110)–and the “build kit” that was used this includes the groupset / gruppo (Ultegra or Dura Ace), the wheels, the seatpost, the stem, the handlebars, etc (Race / Race Lite / Race X Lite / Race XXX Lite). The 2005 / 2006 / 2007 framesets for this model (Madone 5.2/5.5/5.9 “SL”) were all basically identical… only the factory paint schemes changed from year to year. This bike was a special order from the Trek Factory Racing / Project One custom paint program–which added about $600 to the original $5000+ MSRP on this model.
