Hi
I got a Trek 1000, bought it second hand, its a pretty neat bike, but I'm not very happy with the wheels, the wheels seem very susceptical to go out of true, is it me or does everyone have the same problem? Should I change the whole wheel set or just the back wheel? Is there anything that I can do to prevent the wheel from going out of true?
I'm just an average 5ft9, weighing about 144lbs so I'm pretty small and light! Any suggestions ?
Thank you
Chris

from my (allbeit limited understanding!) is that factory wheels are not very good and therfore do need replacing if you are going to take triathlon more seriously
I did buy an Equinox 9 a few years ago with the Botanger deep rim racing wheels & no problems apart fm the odd puncture!
However I think choice of wheels depends on how serious you want to take things and what finance will allow. Better still, as this seems to be a common complaint a ffew emails to Trek might get a result as I find the 1000 to be a great bike.
I got my bike shop to call Specialized after the third time I was in to repair the problem (in a space of 6 weeks) and and they replaced the wheels at no cost.
I would definately makein known to Trek and see if they can fix the problem for you.
