So LBS offered me 360.- to Change all the bearings... Heavy

Thinking now of doing it myself.

Does anybody know where I can get a explosions drawing of the Trek Slash 9.8 carbon (2014-2016) and maybe even an assembly instruction?

Didnt find one on the Internet. Only one from a Slash 2012 and its a bad Picture quality...

Anyone that works in a shop have a TLD A1 Large in the Drone Cyan laying around? Just ordered a remedy 9.8 and that would be a sick helmet for that bike.

Or maybe a better quality 2012 one? The concept is the same, Press in/Press out.

$360? That's insane! The bearing kit should be no more than $100, and then no more than $100 in labor!

Yeah well I live in switzerland...

Bearings 60.-
Work 300.-

Thanks. So you are saying the 2012 aluminium Slash is the same as the 2015 carbon slash?

Unfortunately the slash assembly is not very high res and doesnt have any bigger detail pictures like the other models. It is hard to see all the different little parts.

If there is such a explosion drawing of the 2012 slash, shouldnt there also be one of a 2015 Carbon version?

Not saying the frames are the same, or not. Figured the pictures can help to provide a visual. If you need bearing numbers, the shop or someone with a dealer access can give those to you. But as far as removal/install, there really isn't much difference. Bolt torque, there probably is.

Thankfully iv never had to change bearings in a trek frame... Cause the frames normally break before they need doing!! trek warranty and service from my lbs is fantastic though!

How did they look after how many years?

Just asked my LBS (actually the one I bought the bike from); the first offer was from another Bike shop and I asked them just occasionaly.

He told me 80-100 for bearings and 150 labor. Thats actually a more reasonable price and ok for switzerland I guess. It is nomal that labor costs are lot higher than in the states or so.

So I will probably go with this offer at the end of winter.

Then my Bike will be all new and ready for the MEGAVALANCHE 2017. cant wait!

Definitely Bontrager, no question. The KS isnt complete junk, but its budget and plastic lever.

The bontrager post is awesome, I actually prefer it over the Reverb now.

You can always grab the southpaw remote from ks... it makes the lev tolerable. Ultimately the best dropper i have ridden out of everything current available including local start up brands... its fox with their transfer post. Its just flawless...

Have you compared the Transfer with the 9point8 Fall Line? I'm using that now and it is incredible. Curious how it compared.

My wifes KS lever actually totally broke now, lol, so I ordered a Bontrager Lever to throw on, hopefully that works without issue.
