wide stance bearing is what we have fitted to all suspension bikes- main pivot since 2007 season. It has an extended inner race so supports the axle better. There is no
w
bearing, just we replace the originals that have worn out/given up/failed, for a very heavily subsidised price to keep Trek riders happy with their Trek bikes…only applies for original owners, via the place of purchase.
Biffer- thanks for the comments- but we are confident the bearings are good, just sometimes bad things happen, luckily though we can sort the issue out quickly via the Trek dealer. We stopped using cheese in bearings in the nineties, the smell was too bad in Wisconsin- and they are used to cheese!
