6.5 Replacing the front fender
When replacing the front fender, be sure to apply some Loctite on the thread of the top bolt and to apply a serrated
washer at inner fender side as well.
6.6 Replacing the rear fender
Because the involved bicycles come in many size and light configurations, Trek has created an “universal” rear
fender as replacement part to fit to all configurations, without pre-drilled holes. This work instruction will be a guide
through drilling and mounting a new rear fender if the original fender is damaged.
Replacing the rear fender will imply drilling holes in the new fender to fit in place.
Note. This operation should only be performed by a qualified mechanic at an authorized dealer.
