from Narashino, Chiba, Japan (native of New York) Date Reviewed: January 19, 2003 Strengths: I like the big lever even if it does add a little weight. I possibly couldn't care less about scarring skewers--because they're just skewers people!--but they've held up pretty well. Weaknesses: Cascading Bontrager component breakage (and whatever hasn't broken hasn't performed well). I've never seen anything like this before. I've decided that the Bontrager rims, bars, and stem are reliable and good, but as for the rest, I'm replacing whatever doesn't bust before my warranty runs out in April. I love TREK bikes, but next time I'm going with a frameset and building the rest myself so long as they stick with this Bontrager stuff. I'm really disappointed because Bontrager is a very reputable guy in the cycling biz--love the saddles, love the rims, and anything else that doesn't have moving parts, but anything mechanical seems to be made of cheese. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Earth Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: Stock on my 2002 TREK 8000 Similar Products Used: I've always stuck with whatever stock skewers came on my bikes and never had a problem other than wanting them to be lighter in weight. This is the first time I'm actually concerned about 'skewer performance'--which sounds funny even to mention. Bike Setup: Beater bike: TREK 1995 cro-moly frame which came with a Shimano STX drive chain I never felt needed replacing. Never had a problem with this bike or any of it's components; I give it abuse, and it gives me love and reliability. My fly ride: 2002 TREK 8000 which I bought in April and have since learned the names of the warranty people at TREK by heart. The frame is AMAZING! and any parts that didn't have the Bontrager name on them have worked out well--which is funny because those were the parts I was going to change initial, but didn't.
