Field Test: Trek Fuel EX - Evolution Underlined
I was thinking the same thing. My wife had a 2014 Fuel EX and it had a reach shorter than the chainstays, a 71 degree head angle and a sketchy 120mm CTD fork. People gripe about how heavy new bikes are, but I think forget how sketchy stuff used to be!

Opinion: What Are You Too Picky About?
I've found that I'm really particular about control setup, and apparently prefer a rather unique arrangement since I've virtually never hopped on someone else's bike and liked it. Brakes far enough inboard to juuust catch the hook with a single finger and the shifter/dropper lever far enough inboard that they don't overlap the grip at all.

Yep, the Rock N Roll Gold instructions are right up my alley: hose the chain down in lube, wipe it off, go ride.
