. But the parts package isn’t a let down. The Fox 32 Talas FIT RLC fork, with 150mm travel (adjustable down to 120mm) is a highlight. Some have raised concerns that the Remedy needs a Fox 36, but we just don’t agree, the Fox 32 150mm is a perfect fit for the frame. Its internals have been fettled with a custom valve to better match the bike.
With its tapered steerer tube and bolt-thru 15mm axle it’s incredibly stiff and you have to be going some to notice it flexing. Out of the box it was buttery smooth with a well controlled feel through its full stroke
Elsewhere it’s a predominately SRAM X.9/X.7 affair with a SRAM Carbon triple chainset and 12-36t 10-speed cassette. No issues here and none with the impressive Avid Elixir R disc brakes, powerful and well modulated braking throughout the test. All good stuff and given no problems during the test period.
Aside from the excellent tubeless compatible DT Swiss M1800 32-hole wheels, Bontrager supply most of the finishing components. No problems with the Evoke saddle, squishy and comfortable, and the short stem. But the Race Lite Low Riser stem and Bontrager XR3 Team tyres were the weakest link, and subsequently swapped out at the first available opportunity.
Performance on the trail
First ride on my favourite local trails and I was hitting all the downs with a load more speed, hooking into rougher corners that previously caused me concern on my regular steed with little hesitation, boosting over ramps like I was Sam Hill. I’m not riding anything like Sam of course, but the Remedy gives you so much confidence in the rough stuff and with its sorted handling that you’ll ride with twice the verve and vigour that you did before.
The 68 degree head angle is a touch steeper than other bikes in this category, we’d like to see Trek take a degree off, but it does at least keep the handling alert. And it’s only when we get deep into corners and rock gardens, hanging off the back of the bike that it gets a bit sketchy. The long wheelbase ensures good stability when you’re tracking through fast corners, and it carries great speed through rooty and rocky corners.
The frame is incredibly stiff, noticeable through the corners where it tracks brilliantly. There’s next to no flex or squirm. Its performance is fast and agile over rough trails. It’s perfect for true all-mountain hacking across the landscape riding, where the geometry ensures it pedals sharply with quick and responsive handling.
The Remedy flies up climbs, and in these situations the Pro Pedal lever makes a real difference. With it switched to the on position the shock noticeably firms up and, in combination with the Fox forks dialled down from 150mm to 120mm travel, the Remedy is transformed into a cross-country killer. We actually find ourselves riding up certain trails than we would on a considerably lighter hardtail, so composed is the bike and stable the suspension.
Why is it worth paying for a carbon frame? For one there’s the weight: there’s no denying a well built carbon frame will be lighter on the scales. But there’s another consideration: stiffness. The frame is so taut that power transfer is incredible, acceleration out of corners and through switchbacks on another level. Aluminium can not match this level of performance. Get on the pedals out of a corner and the Remedy literally leaps forward.
Somehow all this adds up to a bike that manages to be equally composed going up technical climbs as it is blasting down rock gardens and off steep drops, and this makes it the perfect all-round UK trail bike for ripping everywhere from trail centres to the proper epic all-day jaunts.
Verdict
Everytime I put the Remedy on the car rack after a ride, I couldn’t help thinking how much fun I’d had. There aren’t many bikes out there can rival the Remedy’s grin-inducing capability. It’s a fast confidence boosting platform.

On the December 2013 I was commissioned to design paper craft templates for Ind Japan Expo 2013 exhibition. The exhibition was about Smart Grid City, a city with efficient power system and uses green energy. My friend Rauf Raphanus and I were work on the templates, Rauf worked on the transportation system paper craft and I worked on city buildings paper craft. I wanted to share with you some of the templates, there are : houses, battery storage building, solar panel installation, windmill electricity generator, warehouse, dock and boats.
There are still more buildings such as government building, commercial building, skyscraper and other tall buildings, but I don't share them because they are too big to fit into A4 paper. All models are very simple. All the templates were used one time only for making a miniature city for that exhibition, and now I allowed to share them with you. Because I was not intended to made these for Paper Replika release, so there is no assembly instructions.

On Wednesday, Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Mark Begich (D-AK), Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Mark Kirk (R-IL) launched the U.S. Senate Travel & Tourism Caucus, designed to promote common-sense policies that reduce barriers to travel and raise awareness of the importance of job-creating travel and tourism industry. Klobuchar, Begich and Blunt serve on the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the U.S. tourism industry.
"This is significant. There hasn't been a travel and tourism caucus in the senate for 25 years," said Lisa Simon, president of NTA. "We applaud Senators Klobuchar, Begich, Blunt and Kirk for recognizing that this industry is a major contributor to the national economy. Their leadership on travel industry issues will pave the way for increased U.S. domestic tourism-and international tourism to the United States-resulting in much-needed revenues and jobs throughout the country."
Simon said she appreciates the senators' previous leadership in travel and tourism. "These four Senate leaders have previously established themselves as strong advocates of the successful Travel Promotion Act and other pending legislation that will enhance this growing sector of our national economy," she said. "We at NTA look forward to working with them-and with all members of the Senate Travel & Tourism Caucus."<reponame>cracyc/fatcat-nonpc<gh_stars>1-10
