Trek Y22 and VRX

[Luc33]

Hi

I am new on this website and i think it is nice to introduce myself and my bikes. My name is Luc. Started mountainbiking when I was 16 on a Trek 820. I live in the Netherlands. My rides are a Trek VRX wich i've build with parts since i've started mountainbiking. So a lot of old parts

I've recently bougth a Trek y22 wich, i think, rides great.

Hi Luc,welcome to the forum,,, I also have a a Trek VRX and really love it,definitely going to keep it till either it or I break,,Tried a few different set ups with it and am now running a fox air shock and find the lockout helps a lot on the trip to the local trails and back,they really are good bikes but seem to very rare on these shores,,Your Y22 looks lovely,really nice smooth lines a definite "Looker".
Hope you enjoy RB as much as I do,I have found the members to be a very helpful and generous bunch.
Hope to hear more from you.

Hi Mark,

Thanks! I think the VRX rides and handles really great! Next thing planned is to put some disc brakes on it. I have got a pair of Hope's. But mounting it on the rear isn't easy Looking for an adapter.

The y22 rides great to but I think it's more suitable for road or XC use. I'm going to replace the cranks voor Cook Bros cranks.... because that will look even better

if its that 20 mm mounting on the rear as i had a y22 for a short time had the same thing a2z components do a 20mm to IS bracket hope this helps

Hi Luc, I found this ,seems to be what you need,not sure who stocks it "in your neck of the woods"
.If you do manage to get it sorted ,let us know how you get on.

My first mtb was a trek - a blue 850 22 in frame bought half price.

Sold the frame as was too big for me.

Not many about in fact i have not seen one like it on this website.

Thanks! And that is the adapter I need. So now I have to find out where to get it. I will first check some local shops.
