What Redditors Say

Best praise vs top criticism for Trek FX 2 Disc

Best Praise

+10 pts

“Assuming the FX2 fits you (check Trek's website for sizing), I'd go for that bike. Hybrids are meant to be general "do all" bikes and they are often perfect for commuting. Save the 400 bucks, put it towards a helmet and lock (and lights if you're planning on using it during dusk/night/dawn hours) and enjoy it!”

“That’s a super weird bike. It’s a 2007 trek fx converted to a drop bar bike. Unless the parts they used are all high end not it’s even close. ”

Best Praise

+10 pts

“That generation of di2 is dead and buried, any issues with it you’re in for new shift components, which will be hard now disc has taken over. Tcr, just because I prefer that generation of sram. As an aside, that period was when a lot of pinarello frames were counterfeit.”

Top Criticism

+2 pts

“I'm super embarrassed by that, trust! It's been a struggle to feel comfortable riding my TCR for the last 4-5 years. My feet get numb, calves cramp, hands hurt, back hurt, etc. 🤣🤣. I'm quite confident it's mostly a fitment/stretching matter. Worst case, I'll get rid of the TCR and buy an endurance bike instead.”
