my trek 3500 disc/forks and component upgrades

  • Add to quote

Finally, I have 5 posts so can create this thread. my wife and I just got bikes. We both got entry levels for now. Mine is a trek 3500 Disc. I got it because out of all the bikes in my price range (400.00) it had disc brakes. I already know it is considered a pos, so dont need to be told how i should have saved more and got a "real" bike.. I got what I could afford, we got 2 bikes and spent about 800.00.. to me, that is alot of money. I got into this for weight loss and to get into shape,Im mainly riding around the neighborhood, and some gravel roads, but I do want to take it on some trails.. Light at first for sure.. thats where everyone says my bike will fall apart.. so be it.. I guess ill be replacing parts. One thing that I see that keeps coming up is that the fork isnt very well made. Which may very well be true. I havent been riding long enough to know the difference. but I would like to upgrade the fork at least.. what do I need to know in order to get the right size? im looking to spend little as possible, but im not sure what im looking for.. as far as other components.. ill replace them as they need it.. I hope to get alot out of this bike.. thanks guys!  

Kudos for getting on a bike in the first place. Yeah you got something a little more entry level but it isn't total crap. The trek frames should hold up then you can replace stuff as need be. That said....I wouldn't jump into a replacement fork right off the bat, just ride it for a while....if you aren't yourself noticing a problem with the fork....it's not a problem yet. Also you might spend as much on buying and replacing the fork(especially if you pay a shop to do it) as you did on the whole bike, depending on what fork you get. Probably not a lot of sense in replacing an entry level fork with another entry level fork. My suggestion is ride it as it is and pay attention to what you would like to replace....but don't replace it just yet(unless something actually breaks). Then as your list grows you will be building the wish list for your next bike. Put a season on this bike so you know what you want and if you are still riding next year...rock it out.  

What fork is on it currently? If you bought a new bike, it probably came with a Suntour XCT or XCM 80-100mm travel. That should definitely suffice for gravel and light singletrack. I'm using even worse of a fork and I can do medium singletrack without a problem. If you want to get better than your current fork which replacement is probably at $100, youd have to spend $200 to make it even an "upgrade". Kwikshift is right, you'd have to spend big $$ else youd just swap entry level for entry level. I would suggest setting the preload properly for your weight and just using that for a few months. If you have to upgrade, a few things you have to make sure is the steerer column diameter (commonly 1 1/8 inch), disc mount compatible with your rotor size, and steering column length (if you are buying a used one someone already cut it).  

And that bike is a sweet deal, I'm loving it after looking at it. That in no way is a pos, my bike is worse (entry level non-disc) but I love it because it's mine and I ride it a lot and do maintenance on it. For your needs, 3500 disc its absolutely perfect.

I am trying to find a decent suspension fork to replace the rigid fork on my Surly. unfortunately, most decent suspension forks cost more than your whole bike! a Dart 3 or Recon fork are not spectacular forks, but they would be an improvement on the "pogo stick" fork that comes on most entry-level bikes.  

I got this bike back in February, Use it mainly on the road going to work so the fork is usually pre loaded as much as possible and isn't an issue. Didn't have a massive budget but wanted something with a decent frame that I could upgrade over time. What I would change first, and they're definitely worth the investment, is the brakes. The ones that came with it are terrible and appear to have been made from cheese rather than metal. Get some Avid BB7's (you can find sets on eBay for around £56 inc rotors) they've changed the braking of the bike completely. I also fit some Schwalbe City Jet tyres, made road cycling a lot easier over the nobblies that came with the bike. It'll be a new crankset and cassette next, but only when funds allow!  

Do u wish u would have got a better bike to begin with? Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2  

I was restricted by timing and budget so I got the best I could afford that did the job I needed, now I can tailor it to suit as much as I like.  

It's a solid bike that has lots of scope for upgrades in the future. The frame is reasonably light and it looks good, like I said previously, just make sure you swap the brakes for BB7's as soon as you can.  

I only ask because I'm in the same position, I find myself wanting a mtb but cant spend more than $500 or so. And I'm leaning towards the 3500 Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2  

I would also like to know where the OP got the bike for $400 :eekster:  

if your going to upgrade : go to bikesdirect. find something on final clearance that has the parts you want and gut it for parts. then you take the old parts put it on whatever you bought and throw it on craigslist or keep it for spare parts or donate it to charity and write off the full price of the bike. Save up to 60% off new Mountain Bikes - MTB - Motobecane 700HT if you guttted that thing and added up the parts its well over the 500 bux. and the drivetrain/forks are definately upgrades. + a spare wheelset. Mountain Bikes - MTB - Motobecane 600HT Mountain Bikes - MTB - Windsor Ghost6700_08 Full Suspension Mountain Bikes - MTB - Windsor Ghost6900_08 Save up to 60% off new Mountain Bikes - MTB - Front Suspension Gravity BaseCamp 3.0 more expensive but you couldnt buy the fork and drivetrain for anywhere close to this.

My brother has one of the cheapest treks you can get. His doesn't even have disc...he has thrashed it and never had an issue. I did the same with a "pos" ironhorse warrior disc. While I did upgrade (slightly) I still don't see the need for a $2000 bike. If you race competitively or make a living riding I understand. For us average joes I don't think entry level bikes are so bad. I'm running a trek 4500 with a dart 3 and it is definitely an improvement over the manitou six the ironhorse had. I would ride it until it breaks. When it does get a dart 3 for under $200 and grab shimano deore components. Have fun and don't let the bike snobs make you feel bad.  

Well said Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

That's a fairly solid bike as others have said. Trek makes bikes that can take a beating. I had a Trek 820 (lowest model) that I bought off craigslist that was 4 years old and rode it on the same trails I still ride. It was a beast. That said, if you are looking to upgrade, you may want to consider saving your money you would be spending on upgrades, and going for something a little bit higher. Eventually you could sell your bike, save some dough, and get something like a 4300. Upgrading piece by piece will eventually end up costing you a lot more in the long run. Depends on what u get, but just my opinion. What I recommend is save money, and ride the hell out of that bike. If you still love Mtn Biking in a few months or a year or however long it takes, sell it and upgrade.  

Upgrade I bought this bike couple months ago for the same reasons. I do mostly downhill and single track and I've had no issues aside from the breaks. I had to replace the front one. The forks have held up thus far and the frame is pretty solid. In the future I will upgrade but for now the 3500 disc has been great.

If you mainly ride on road and gravel, you might want to look into changing out your tires for something that rolls faster. That's probably the only upgrade you'll need, but in the mean while just ride the bike till something breaks. Also the Trek 3500 is a great bike.:thumbsup:

Most likely it is because they need to keep the cost low in order to be an entry level mtb. Better pedals costs more. Imagine adding that cost to the 3500's current price and it would change the game. I am still waiting for my 3500 (no disc) to be delivered. I will simply transfer my dual spd/platform pedals to the 3500 as soon as I get it. Shop around for nice pedals! I'll be looking for nice but affordable platforms for the old bike so my son can use it! Try amazon!  

What would be a good more road oriented Tire to get? Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2  

Thanks. The local shop has a good set for a reasonable price. I hope to get them purchased and installed before my next run.  

A few bike companies are putting a nicer metal flat pedal on their entry-level bikes. I think they're realizing that a lot of customers of those bikes would be just as happy to ride flat for a while and aren't attached to a specific flat pedal yet, so selling the bike with a non-sucky pedal is some value-added.

I with those that say 'ride the urine out of it', replace only what breaks. This is what entry level bikes are for. To see if you're 'in' or 'out' of the sport, and for you to gravitate toward the type of riding that you enjoy most. You even said yourself that $400 is a lot for you to spend. Once you step out onto that slippery slope of upgrade-itis, it's one thing after another and you'll end up with your entry level frame and seatpost, and a bunch of relatively expensive parts that will have set you back further from getting your second bike (your true dream bike, relatively speaking). For example, you have mentioned the fork. You would be hard pressed to get into a fork worthy of upgrading to for less than $300 even if you shopped very carefully and knew what you were doing, and there are plenty of $300 forks I would not recommend. Most of us run out of talent far sooner than our bikes truly run out of capability. Sure, it's fun to ride nice stuff, but it isn't mandatory by any stretch so long as it holds up. How do so many of us know this? Sadly, we speak from experience. For now, ride, have fun riding with your wife, and hone your skills. The rest will come in due time. JMHO.

$479? Is it the one with disc brakes?  

Wow... for $400, that is a great bargain! I got mine (no disc) for $399 plus tax.

Let's delve into what makes the Trek 3500 a popular choice. All information has been gathered through personal tests using this bike in real-world situations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

‍ Overview of the Trek 3500 Mountain Bike

The Trek 3500 mountain bike is a popular entry-level choice for those who want a good bike without breaking the bank. It's designed with the beginner rider in mind and offers a comfortable and enjoyable ride on various surfaces, including local trails and gravel paths.

One of the most notable features of the Trek 3500 is the Alpha Silver Aluminum frame, which provides a lightweight yet sturdy build that's suitable for tackling your first trail rides.

Additionally, the bike is equipped with an SR Suntour suspension fork, which helps to smooth out the ride and absorb bumps along the way. This is particularly beneficial for those new to mountain biking who may be more sensitive to trail conditions.

So, let’s look closer at the key Trek 3500 features to help decide whether it’s worth the investment.

Key Features of Trek 3500 Mountain Bike

The Trek 3500's drivetrain and components are built around dependability and ease of use. Shimano TZ31 front and rear derailleurs, combined with a wide range of gears, make it simple for beginners to navigate varied terrain without feeling overwhelmed.

Regarding braking, the bike utilizes linear-pull brakes, which are well-suited for new riders as they are easy to control and maintain. Overall, the Trek 3500 mountain bike is a great bike, and here’s why.

Frame and Suspension

The Trek 3500 mountain bike is built with an Alpha Silver Aluminum frame that's suitable for beginners. This lightweight frame offers great stability and durability. Its semi-integrated head tube helps make the bike more comfortable to ride.

The bike has an SR Suntour suspension fork, ensuring a smooth ride on various terrains.

Gears and Brakes

This mountain bike is equipped with Shimano components for seamless gear shifting. The bike's Shimano TZ31 front derailleur and a reliable rear derailleur offer a range of gear combinations, perfect for tackling various trail conditions.

The Trek 3500 features linear-pull brakes that offer strong stopping power and control, ensuring safety on technical trails and during fast descents.

Wheels and Tires

The Trek 3500 mountain bike's wheels are designed for rugged trail riding and enhanced performance. It boasts knobby tires, specifically Bontrager LT3 26x2.0 tires, that provide excellent traction and control on a variety of surfaces such as dirt, gravel, or rocky trails.

Keeping proper tire pressure will enhance the bike's performance, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Design and Aesthetics

The design of the Trek 3500 combines style, functionality, and comfort. It features a clean and streamlined geometry, making it an appealing choice for beginners and experienced riders.

The bike's components, such as the Wellgo nylon platform pedals, 25.4mm 30mm rise handlebars, and comfortable Bontrager SSR saddle, make it an enjoyable ride for longer periods on local trails or commutes.

Trek 3500 Mountain Bike Performance

In our experience, the Trek 3500 mountain bike has proven to be great for entry-level mountain biking and trail riding. The Trek 3500 is also suitable for commuting and road bike usage, providing versatility for any type of rider. Let's look at how it does in terms of performance.

When riding on a single-track trail, the Trek 3500 performs well thanks to the knobby tires and solid frame. The bike comes equipped with Bontrager LT3 26x2.0 tires, providing good traction on a variety of surfaces.

However, on more technical trails, you may notice the bike falling behind some other bikes in the same category, partly due to the SR Suntour fork's limitations. For an entry-level mountain bike, the components play a crucial role in the Trek 3500's performance.

Most Trek bikes also feature a Shimano TZ31 front derailleur and rear derailleur, ensuring a reliable gear-shifting experience. The wellgo nylon platform pedals offer a good grip for better control on the trails.

When it comes to stopping power, the Trek 3500 has rim brakes, which might not provide the same level of performance as disc brakes but are still sufficient for beginners. One important aspect to keep an eye on is tire pressure. Maintaining the right pressure can greatly affect the bike's performance.

The Trek 3500 bike comes with a 25.4mm 30mm rise handlebar and a comfy Bontrager SSR seat. This bike is designed with a geometry that allows riders to have a relaxed and enjoyable ride, whether it's a casual commute or a gravel-filled mountain biking adventure.

Pros and Cons of Trek 3500 Mountain Bike

The Trek 3500 is a great entry-level mountain bike that's perfect for those who are new to the sport. One of the key features of this bike is its Alpha Silver Aluminum frame, which is light, durable, and comfortable for trail riding.

Its Bontrager LT3 26x2.0 knobby tires provide excellent traction on various terrains, making it an ideal bike for local trails. The SR Suntour suspension fork absorbs shock from rough surfaces, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride.

The Shimano TZ31 front derailleur and Shimano rear derailleur provide a wide range of gears to tackle uphill climbs and downhill descents easily. Additionally, the Wellgo nylon platform pedals are durable.

You also have the Bontrager SSR 25.4mm 30mm rise handlebars, ensuring a comfy and stable ride grip. Overall, it's a good bike for beginner mountain bikers and those looking to enjoy trail riding without breaking the bank.

While the Trek 3500 is a great bike for new riders, it may not be the best choice for more experienced mountain bikers or those looking to tackle technical trails.

The rim brakes on this bike may not provide the same stopping power as hydraulic disc brakes found on higher-end models, especially in wet or muddy conditions.

The Trek 3500 is primarily designed for trail riding and light off-road use, so those seeking a more versatile bike for both road and mountain biking may want to consider other options.

Its entry-level components may also not hold up due to the wear and tear of tackling more challenging trails. More experienced riders may find themselves quickly outgrowing this bike and wanting to upgrade to a better bike in the same category.

That being said, the Trek 3500 still offers a solid ride for beginners and those looking for an affordable option in the world of mountain biking.

How Long Will The Trek 3500 Mountain Bike Last?

The Trek 3500 mountain bike's lifespan depends on factors like usage, maintenance, riding conditions, storage, and accidents. While it's an entry-level bike from a reputable brand, its durability is enhanced by a lifetime warranty on the frame.

With moderate use and proper care, it can last several years. Expect 5-10 years of dependable service for daily commuting or light trail rides. However, rigorous mountain biking might necessitate more frequent component replacements, even if the frame endures.

It's crucial to note that while the frame might be covered, parts like tires, chains, and brake pads will wear over time. Storing the bike in dry conditions and regular maintenance will optimize its longevity.

Verdict: Is the Trek 3500 Mountain Bike Worth Your Money?

It's clear that this is a great bike for entry-level riders and more experienced cyclists alike. Perfect for trail riding, this mountain bike can handle steep climbs and tough single-track trails, making it a versatile option for various terrains.

It offers knobby tires for good grip on dirt, gravel, and rough surfaces, ensuring a smoother ride when tackling technical trails. This bike comes equipped with Shimano TZ31 front and rear derailleurs, providing consistent gear shifting across its 21-speed gear system, even on rocky terrains.

Additionally, the terrain versatility is further complemented by its Bontrager SSR 26x2.0 wheels, a strong frame, and wellgo nylon platform pedals for added comfort and support

The SR Suntour fork on the Trek 3500 Mountain Bike adds to the comfortable ride regardless of the trail conditions. It may not be a high-end mountain bike, but considering its price point, it delivers a solid and enjoyable performance.
