What makes you think that? The chainring offset is the difference between the different chainline sets, isn't it?

My fault. But there was some other issue. I think the axle may need to be longer or so.

I was searching that few weeks ago, and decided to sell that xx1 quarq 52mm crankset to be on safe side.

A new trail E-bike.

Not sure why you'd put it in the XC frame thread when you can see it's specced with a piggyback shock. Bit of a clue as to intentions there :wink:

Probably goes to show how little I know about MTBs in general, but that down tube and BB area looks nothing like an E-Bike to me. Looking at Trek's current portfolio, this looks almost exactly like the Top Fuel, and nothing like their current E-MTBs.
But again, my untrained eyes.

Current Top Fuel frame is only 9 months old, so it ain't another one of those. I might have misunderstood something and it's a new analog Fuel Ex. If it is a new e-bike platform it makes sense for it to look different because 2023 Bosch motors and batteries have a bunch of new mounting options. You're not right, the downtube does look a bit skinnny for that though.

Actually yeah, I prob saw something with a typo and it's the new Fuel Ex. So a human powered trail bike.

Nope, I was right the first time. Yes it's a trail e-bike, yes it is very different to their current e-MTBs.

Alex Wilde who is a specialized factory racer won the Tahoe 100 this weekend on an unreleased specialized XC bike. Was anyone able to snap a picture?
