Seven in the evening. The same stretch of river path, five days a week. The footage is mixed together. Different mornings, different evenings, all from July, all on the same road at the same two hours. Nothing in it was planned. I wasn't riding out to find anything — I was goin… - [Trek Bicycle Korea — 2026 Mono Brand Excellence Award](https://www.platooncycles.com/trek-bicycle-korea-2026-mono-brand-excellence-award.md) - On August 3, Trek Bicycle Korea gave us the Mono Brand Excellence Award at the 2026 Best Dealer Awards. Being a mono-brand Trek store isn't only about the sign out front. It means the diagnostic tools, the service training, and the parts pipeline all come from one place. When something goes wrong w… - [The New Domane Has Arrived — But We Can't Show You Photos Until August 14](https://www.platooncycles.com/the-new-domane-has-arrived-but-we-cant-show-you-photos-until-august-14.md) - The new Trek Domane arrived at the shop this week. It's built up, it's on the floor, and you can look at it right now. What we can't do is put it on the internet. There's an embargo in place until August 14, which means no photos, no detail shots, no spec sheets from us until then. That's the deal… - [The New Domane: Where Your Size Went, and Why the Numbers Are Gone](https://www.platooncycles.com/the-new-domane-where-your-size-went-and-why-the-numbers-are-gone.md) - Trek's fifth-generation Domane arrives with six sizes instead of eight, labeled XS through XL instead of 47 through 62. The easy read is that Trek trimmed the lineup. That's part of it. But put the two geometry charts side by side and something more specific shows up: the frame didn't get simpler.… - [Trek Bikes: Korea vs. US Prices — The 10 Biggest Gaps (July 2026)](https://www.platooncycles.com/trek-bikes-korea-vs-us-prices-the-10-biggest-gaps-july-2026.md) - Every few months we run the same check: what does a Trek actually cost in Korea compared to the US? This month we pulled current list prices for the same models and trims in both markets and converted them at the mid-July exchange rate ($1 = ₩1,480). Then we ranked the gaps. The result: of the mode… - [Korea Cross-Country Route: Section Data & Free GPX](https://www.platooncycles.com/korea-cross-country-route-section-data-free-gpx.md) - The cross-country bicycle route (국토종주) runs about 600 km from the west coast at Incheon to Busan on the south coast, almost entirely on dedicated bike paths.

Trek hasn't announced anything officially, but a blacked-out bike that doesn't match any current model was spotted under Lidl-Trek riders in the team's Roubaix footage, and the usual rumors point to a lighter frame in SLR, SL, and ALR versions. If the pat… - [An All-New Trek Domane Is Coming — Here's How to Be First in Line](https://www.platooncycles.com/an-all-new-trek-domane-is-coming-heres-how-to-be-first-in-line.md) - There's a completely new generation of the Trek Domane arriving — Gen 5 — and it will be revealed on August 4.

Then the chainring bolts, the small details across the build — all pulled toward one quiet theme. We didn't start with the color. We started with a question: what does a gravel bike need to go faster and easier, wherever the ro… - [How to Read a Tire: The One Part That Tells You What a Bike Is For](https://www.platooncycles.com/how-to-read-a-tire-the-one-part-that-tells-you-what-a-bike-is-for.md) - A bike can't talk. But if it could introduce itself, it wouldn't start with its frame material or its geometry chart. It would point at its tires. Tires are the one part of a bike that openly states what it was built to do. Frame numbers, head angles, stack and reach — that's the engineering undern… - [Road, Gravel, or MTB? Choose It Like You'd Choose a Car](https://www.platooncycles.com/road-gravel-or-mtb-choose-it-like-youd-choose-a-car.md) - People usually choose a bike by category — road, gravel, mountain — but those words are the answer, not the question. They don't tell you which one is yours. The usual shortcuts don't help much either. "Pick by what you'll use it for" is too vague. And "pick the fastest one" falls apart immediately… - [When Shifting Goes Wrong: A Snapped Derailleur Hanger on a Cannondale Synapse](https://www.platooncycles.com/when-shifting-goes-wrong-a-snapped-derailleur-hanger-on-a-cannondale-synapse.md) - The Job A Cannondale Synapse 1 (aluminum frame, Shimano Tiagra 2×10) came into the workshop with a clear problem: the rear derailleur hanger had snapped clean through.

If you've never heard of a derailleur h… - [2026 Stage 4 - Tour Auvergne Rhone Alpes Race](https://www.platooncycles.com/2026-stage-4-tour-auvergne-rhone-alpes-race.md) - Quinn Simmons U.S. National Champion on Lidl- Trek Team win - [Before You Pump: The Two Tire Pressure Mistakes I See Most](https://www.platooncycles.com/before-you-pump-the-two-tire-pressure-mistakes-i-see-most.md) - Tire pressure is not complicated. But before talking about how to get it right, it is worth talking about what not to do — because not doing the wrong things comes before doing the right ones. After years of checking bikes in the shop, the pressure problems I see come in exactly two forms.

But the layout isn't really the point.… - [Trek Domane AL 2: A Road Bike That Quietly Does More](https://www.platooncycles.com/trek-domane-al-2-a-road-bike-that-quietly-does-more.md) - Most customers walk into the shop with a clear bucket in mind. "I want a road bike." "I want a gravel bike." "I want something for touring." The Trek Domane AL 2 is interesting because it sits a little outside those buckets — not loud about it, just quietly capable in a few directions at once. This… - [Pyeongtaek to Seoul by Bike — The 5-River Route from Platoon Cycles](https://www.platooncycles.com/pyeongtaek-to-seoul-by-bike-the-5-river-route-from-platoon-cycles.md) - http://5happy.net/archives/9551 - [Renting a Car in Jeju with a SOFA License — What Actually Works Online](https://www.platooncycles.com/renting-a-car-in-jeju-with-a-sofa-license-what-actually-works-online.md) - Most USFK members in Korea never convert their license to a Korean one. The SOFA license (USFK Form 134EK — the orange card) is what you drive on, and that's perfectly legal under the SOFA agreement. But when it comes to renting a car — especially booking online with a foreign-issued credit card —… - [700km Across Korea by Bike — A Vlog Worth Watching Before You Ride](https://www.platooncycles.com/700km-across-korea-by-bike-a-vlog-worth-watching-before-you-ride.md) - If you've been thinking about doing the 국토종주 — Korea's coast-to-coast bike route — this video is the best starting point I've seen in a while.

A customer ordered two Selle Italia SLR 3D Carbon saddles — one in the new Opal White, one in the standard black. Same saddle, same specs, just different colorways. When I had them side by side on the bench, I figured it was a good time to talk about Sell… - [The Health Benefits of Cycling — A Korean Restaurant-Inspired Guide](https://www.platooncycles.com/the-health-benefits-of-cycling-a-korean-restaurant-inspired-guide.md) - Every Food in Korea Is Good for You If you've ever eaten at a Korean restaurant — and I mean really looked around while waiting for your food — you've probably noticed something on the walls.
