Trek 7.3 FX from 2016; Internal cable routing

 Trek 7.3 FX from 2016

For electric converting I think it's better to buy the oler Trek 7.3 FX with cable routing on the toptube.


This one has Internal cable routing, looks nice but might be tougher to get to work with Tongsheng TSDZ2

Kona Explosif 2016 Large

Kona Explosif 2016 specifications and pictures

The Kona has a nice steef frame using Reynolds 520 butted tubes made of chro-mo.

Since some specification usually vanish from the manufacturer homepage after a while I decided to put it here.

The 520 frame has similar properties as our  Reynolds original 531 brand alloy.  The Reynolds “520” range uses the same alloy, made under license for us in Taiwan and subject to the same quality standards.

Mountainbike Trek Marlin 6

 Trek Marlin 6 is a nice beginner MTB bike

Here equipped with front rack / lowrider and a rear rack. A pretty small frame size.


Trek Marlin 6 firebrand with lowrider and a rear rack
Photo and build: W. PenateFr


Trek Marlin 6 with Tongsheng TSDZ2 electric motor with torque sensor.

This is a nice build with a 73 mm bottom bracket. I think this is a 2016 or 2017 model. Color oragne, called firebrand. Cables goes with the top tube which is nice for converting. External cable routing makes it a nice fit.

I believe the brakes are hydralic (Tekro).

Trek FX3 pictures

Trek FX3 Disc /  Trek FX 3 2020

I do like Trek bikes for some reason.

What I don't like: The Fork on the FX3 is made out of carbon fiber. I prefer crmo or aluminium vs carbon fiber, that's just me.



 Internal cable routing

This I like, very neat installation into chainstay. Don't know which FX3 / year that has this though.


There seams to be a lot of different FX3 models. Here is Equipped.
Check out the fender holder, a little special and maybe not the best option.
Picture from above



This is Trek interal cable routing, however I dont know the model unfortunatly. It might look the same on the FX 3.



Front bike rack, Wald vs DIY

Front bike racks

Some examples of different front bicycle racks.

Buy ready for example: Wald 137 Front basket.

or bigger basket 135

This is model Wald 135 which had bigger basket than 137.
This is model Wald 135 which is bigger basket than 137.

"I just appreciate the original Wald basket mounting system. Everyone seems to clip off the legs, buy a front rack, and zip-tie the basket to a rack and I don’t get why! The mounting legs it comes with works great, are reasonably light-weight, and in my experience, super robust!" - TripleSecretSquirrel

Cykelgear.se is selling them in Sweden


This is a nice mounting

Looks like a stable mounting of this Wald 137 basket.

WALD's largest basket (53x38 cm)

Is it too big? WALD largest basket 53x38 cm

This is my Miyata Terrarunner with a DIY front basket, costing about 4 dollars to make. I've made a video testing it. Will be coming out soon..

I've stolen the idea from this dude, youtubechannel garys.projects:

Part from IKEA:

Pleja 26x34x8  99kr (black basket, try to find a silver one, looks better

Observatör 100 cm, eyelets for m5 bolts. 30 kr

This DIY front bike rack for under 25 dollars, IKEA style.

------------- More IKEA hacks with front racks ---------

Ikea front basket, build and photo by SebbeK

"Buy a women's bicycle basket at eg Harald Nyborg for SEK 69, take the brackets and replace the basket with a wire basket from Ikea for SEK 40, and it will be like this" - SebbeK

---------------------- -----------------

Other alternatives: AVS system

Here Crescent Hybrid with AVS rack.


More info here.

------------ Lowrider alternative ---------


This is universal lowrider for forks without lowrider bold (in the middle of fork). Seem to fit most bike who has eyelets near wheel axle opening.
