Hi,

Just brought an Trek Fuel EX8.

Do anyone know what the two hex bolts are for underneath the frame towards the chainset?

I thought it might be for some kinda bolt on protection guard...

Cheers

    Bottle cage or crudcatcher.

    For the bottom part of the of the frame near the BB?

    They're pretty far down the tube so can't be for a crudcatcher must be for a bottle cage.

    That attach the lower falange for the virtual pivot.



    p.s. that is made up just in case you get worried
    Why would I care about 150g of bike weight, I just ate 400g of cookies while reading this?

    I had these on my old Trek Liquid frame. Think it was for a bottle cage as a mud catch would foul on the cranks I think. Seems like the stupidest place to put a bottle though as it will jsut get covered in mud!

    Yep, they're for a bottle cage.
