Custom Components of the

Speed Concept

The Speed Concept design incorporates a number of special parts with special features.

This section gives a brief explanation of some of the features, their use and maintenance,

and general information about the bike.

Compatibility of parts

Trek only recommends Bontrager parts for the Speed Concept bike because with these parts

the torque specications and, crush strength have been evaluated by our engineering staff.

Other parts might not meet our requirements and could lead to damage.

Carbon ber construction

Carbon ber composite is by weight the lightest, strongest frame material available today.

Please read about special care needed for carbon ber in your the Trek bicycle owner’s

manual.

Two fork designs: integrated and traditional direct-connect

The leading fork design provides the least wind drag of any bicycle we have ever designed.

With the carefully intergrated headtube / fork interface and hidden headset bearings, the

air ows smoothly across the frame. However, this design limits the rotation of the fork; if

you turn the aerobar too far the fork will contact the frame, possibly damaging the paint.

The traditional fork design is more economical with only a slight penalty in wind drag.

Internal cable routing

To minimize wind drag, the cables and housiing of the Speed Concept are hidden to the

maximum extent possible.

Seatpost for either time trial or triathlon

The cap of the seatpost can be removed and rotated 180 degrees to gain different positions.

In addition, there are different legnths of seatposts availabe.

Hidden brakes

Brakes will require re-adjustment if the wheels are changed because the brakes are sensitive

to rim width. There are no barrel adjusters.

Carbon rims

Make sure you use brake pads that are compatible with the rim material.
