I believe I'll have something to offer for this within a week. Just doing a final test fitting on the finished product.

I’ll want one too!
It’s amazing how many pros are swapping the aero extensions because the stock ones just don’t work. I hope Trek sees the limitations in their design and comes out with some options like they did with the mono plug-in on the previous gen bike.

Mitch@tTrek - I am very excited to have just received my new Speed Concept. It is in the prime viewing spot in my living room right now. Such a beautiful bike. I am a little confused by the open port just in front of the seat tube - the one used to adjust the seat height. It seems like it should have a cover or something to stop rain from getting inside the frame. Am I missing a part or is this the way it should be and perhaps I am worrying unnecessarily?
Thanks for your help.
Excited to hear about your new Speed Concept!
That port is not needed to be covered, so you're okay leaving it!

the port drains down the seat tube and eventually out a hole at the bottom of the frame. I asked the same question of a trek engineer during a tour. I was concerned about bodily fluids. They said it may get nasty inside but "should" drain all way through.

How is that front bottle holder mounted?
Re: New Trek Speed Concept [craw4rd]

Here is a mock-up of what I will have available soon. Like Steve's, it will mount between the arm pads and the pad mount plate.

Hello everyone,
I was curious what size road tire you are using on your new speed concept and reasoning for the selection. I hope to be in possession of one, possibly in a week. I am thinking 25s or 28s. Wheels will be the Bontrager Aeolus 75. I will need a hydration setup as well or at least until the new one gets shipped, so I may need the part MXGimp posted. Thank you for your experience and expertise.

Just building off of this and Dan's article on the RSL 75 wheels. My SC is being built up this week with the RSL 75s. Anybody have tire thoughts? The Bontrager R3 seem to be kind of meh from what I can tell, but maybe there's some special magic they have with the Bontrager wheels. Thanks.

I just ordered my Speed Concept today. I also ordered the RSL 75’s. I’d like to run what I’ve been running for about 6 years now. The Vitoria Corsa Gumwall tires, but not sure yet. I ordered the Viper Red/Trek Black. Can’t wait for it to get here.

Running my RSL75s with the GP5000 25mm Tubeless- nice and fast, no issues in training or in two races

On a new SC? Please post some pics for those of us who do not have the new bike to enjoy!

Apologies for the question but I know
Your pretty full bottle on this bike.
I will prob use the bontrager race arm pads and cups that I’m using on the second gen speed concept but was wondering how narrow can the stock pads get on this bike ?
Roughly centre to centre ? It doesn’t look like they can get very narrow ?
Cheers

Just picked up the 7 today and am trying to get the flat kit assembled but having no luck. Anyone having pictures of how they did it and what is in theirs?
I’m trying to get a tube, 6mm Allen wrenches, co2 nozzle, and co2 cartridge in mine.

How are all of you getting your bikes? Did your delivery time improve from initial order? Mine is still Feb 2023 wtf and I ordered on the 2nd day!

Here my update. I already have an xlab wing with co2 spots so I’m going to move the cartridge and nozzle there. Leaves the tube and a tire lever in the downtube and that worked.

Used my front water bottle today, plate works great, thanks

Congrats TrekGeek! What specs? and what is your ETA?I went with the Viper Red/Trek Black SLR7 Size Small with the RSL-75 wheels, Ceramic Speed, Computer Mount, 170 cranks and upgraded to the Hilo Pro Carbon saddle. I’ve had every version of the Speed Concept.
I’ve had a Medium and a Small. I’m 5’8 and feel more comfortable on the small. I had a Gen 2 with 170 cranks and a Gen 2 with 165 cranks. I HATED the 165 cranks. I got quoted at 116 days, but they said it will probably be sooner than that. Fingers crossed!
