Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Trek Domane SL 6 Gen 3 below.

How do I remove rust from my Trek bicycle?

1. Soak the rusty part in vinegar until completely soaked through. 2. Let the vinegar work on the rust for 24 hours. 3. Remove the rust with a wire brush or aluminium foil.

How much should I exercise as an adult per week?

As an adult, it is recommended to do moderately intensive exercise for at least 2.5 hours per week. Preferably spread over several days.

How do I properly adjust the saddle height on my Trek Domane SL 6 Gen 3?

A proper saddle height is crucial for a comfortable and efficient ride. Start by loosening the seatpost binder bolt, then adjust the height so that your heel can just touch the pedal in the bottom position. Finally, tighten the binder bolt securely.

My gears keep skipping while cycling, what should I do?

Gear skipping can be caused by various factors. Try adjusting the barrel adjuster on the rear derailleur to fine-tune the shifting. If the issue persists, it might be time to have a professional inspect your chain, cassette, and derailleur hanger for wear or damage.

How do I change a flat tire on my Trek Domane SL 6 Gen 3?

Flat tires are a common occurrence, but you can easily handle it. Firstly, shift to the smallest chainring and rear cog to loosen the tension on the chain. Use a tire lever to remove one side of the tire bead, then carefully remove the inner tube. After checking for the cause of the flat, install the new tube, partially inflate it, and reseat the tire. Finally, inflate the tire to the recommended pressure.

What should I do if the brakes on my Trek Domane SL 6 Gen 3 feel too weak?

Insufficient brake power can be resolved by adjusting the brake cable tension. Locate the barrel adjuster on the brake caliper, turn it counterclockwise to increase tension, and test the brakes. If this doesn't improve the performance, ensure your brake pads are not excessively worn and check if the brake caliper needs cleaning or realignment.

How can I optimize my riding position on the Trek Domane SL 6 Gen 3?

Achieving a comfortable and efficient riding position is essential. Start by adjusting the saddle fore/aft position to align your knee over the pedal spindle. Next, fine-tune the handlebar height and reach using the stem spacers and the stem length accordingly. Experiment with these adjustments to find the most comfortable riding position for you.

When new bike day turns bad! Trek Domane SL5 seatpost has slipped out of range :(

So I just bought a new Trek Domane SL5 on Friday hoping to get back into road cycling after a long time away from it. On my first ride out after about ten minutes I noticed the seat height was a bit low. I went to lift it, but found that the adjuster bolt had slipped below the cut out allowing access to said bolt. After another 15 minutes of futile pulling and cursing it, I called my wife for a lift home since I didn’t want to make it worse by sitting on it more.

It’s now back in at the store, where three of us tried unsuccessfully to pull the seat post up (it may have also spent some time hanging from my squat rack with my body weight pulling on the seat) and waiting for the mechanics to come into work next week. Has anyone had a similar issue with a trek seatpost? I’m quite heavy (over 100kgs) at the moment so thats probably part of it

That really sucks! I have the same bike as you and Im 92 KG. No issues with it but to be honest I am in a 54 frame and the seat post is almost all the way down. It might be raised one mm. Turns out I should have been in a 52. Bike just fits although trek is nicely sending me a 1 cm shorter stem.

I had a seat post slip way down on me. I was able to get it back in place. It happened again and I took it to the lbs. They seat it need anti slip compound. It is a common problem with carbon fiber seat posts.

I had the exact same issue with my 2020 Domane SL. I hit a bump on a gravel descent and landed on my saddle with some force, which pushed the seatpost bolt out of the adjustment window. My LBS was able to get it out with no damage to the frame or seatpost (not sure how exactly), so chances are good you should be able to get it fixed easily.

And I’m sorted! LBS fixed it, their theory was they hadn’t put enough carbon paste in, so it slipped until it found some…

Apparently two guys pulling on it was all it needed

I’m having the same issue with my BRAND NEW Trek Domane SL6 eTap. The seat post will slip down until it will finally bottom out. Pulling the seat post out, it seems to me that there is too much slop between seat post and seat post tube. Not a snug fit. The bike shop that I purchased it from (1.5 hr drive) is going through a remodel and will be closed until Nov. 20th, just my luck. I have carbon fiber grip gel on order and will give that a try. Please comment if you are having the same problem and if a solution for this problem has been found. I’ve never had a Trek bike but I guess I’ll find out if they stand behind their product.

Totally gutted 10 miles in and Mike just done the same. Totally slipped. Stopped and just can’t pull it out. Had three Trek bikes and never had this problem before. Waiting for wife and totally not happy as was enjoying my pedal out.

I guess I am very lucky with my domane. I went from a 54 specialized roubaix to a 54 trek domane. Seems I needed a 52 domane. I have a thin riser between my cleats and shoes and have the seat down all the way on the domane. The seat cant go down any further at all.

My SL6 Domane has the seat post problem, slips down even with paste. Shop has tried 3 times to fix and still failing. Shop suggests there is a design problem that Trek have not yet admitted to!

Trek does know about it. There is a service bulletin. The final fix is tape. I believe it is 8mm. So far mine is holding up with the tape. I went to a Trek corporate store to get it fixed. Good luck.

I called the Trek shop where I normally get my Domane+ serviced about this problem. I asked if there was a service bulletin. The mechanic I talked to never heard of it. He told me to bring it in so they could look at it. I’ll bring it in, but his response wasn’t reassuring.

I have a 2022 Domane SL7. Yes, there is a frame issue. I travel a lot and always have my bike. I use the Trek store in MA. They did the work. I’ve also have used the Trek store in Tallahassee FL and a Trek dealer in Appleton WI. They all knew about the service bulletin.

I have the same problem with my 2023 Domane - LBS overcranked the torque - it’s at least 7.3nM per my check. I’m a heavy rider (110kg). There was some paste INSIDE the lumen of the bottom end of the seatpost. Presuming that was supposed to be slapped onto the seatpost before they sold it to me… I’ve ordered some of that CF SuperGrip Park compound from Amazon and hope it’ll allow me to lower the clamp force the shop put on there.

I have a 2023 Domane SL7 with same problem. Have 60 miles on it as it’s brand new. Took to LBS where purchased today and they cranked it down to >7.3nM and on the short 1 mile ride home, all seemed well. Purchased the CF goop from Amazon hoping to lower the torque on it going forward. Can’t believe the engineer designed it and the boss signed off on it…

Yes, just got a Trek Domane SL6 in May and been having the same problem with the seat post, it won’t hold and the problem is getting worse. I going to take it back to the shop later this week. I think it’s a design issue.

Reports of the demise of this Web site are greatly exaggerated! We at sheldonbrown.com thank Harris Cyclery for its support over the years. Harris Cyclery has closed, but we keep going. Keep visiting the site for new and updated articles, and news about possible new affilations.

This page describes how to measure bicycle seat tubes and seatposts, and lists various bicycles, and the seatpost diameters that fit them.

Sheldon brown started compiling a list, and realizing that it was too large a project for one person, he solicited information from readers. john allen and harriet fell have received more reader-provided information but we will no longer update this file, except to correct errors. we recommend measuring, both because it is more reliable and because we can't possibly have information on every make and model of bicycle. so this article also describes how to take measurements, even if you don't have the "right" tools..

The size is usually stamped on the seatpost near the bottom. It will be near the minimum-insertion mark, not visible when the seatpost is installed on a bicycle.

On a related topic, we have an article (by Sheldon Brown, updated by John Allen) on Stuck Seatposts which may be of use to you.

National and Historical Trends

Most steel bicycle frames have tubing of standard outside diameter. Frames made to British or Italian standards will typically have 1 1/8" (28.6 mm) seat tubes . Older French bicycles used 28 mm. Old American style, commonly used on BMX bicycles and other bicycles that use one-piece-cranks , uses a 1" seat tube. Standard outside diameter accommodates standard lugs and clamp-on parts such as front derailers, pulleys and other cable guides, pump pegs, etc.

High-performance bicycles are made of thinner-walled tubing, so the hole will be larger if the outside diameter is kept the same.

As a result, a larger seatpost size is often a sign of a higher-quality bicycle. This has resulted in a de facto standard of 27.2mm for high-quality bicycles that have 1 1/8" O.D. seat tubes. Since high-quality seatposts are widely available in 27.2, most high-end aluminum and carbon-fiber road bicycles also use 27.2.

A recent trend to oversized tubing has resulted in the introduction of oversized seatposts (anything over 27.4 would be considered oversized.) These are more commonly seen on mountain bikes, where the longer seatposts can use the extra strength. Common diameters arey 30.9mm and 31.6mm.

Diameter is not the only factor affecting compatibility. Using a carbon-fiber seatpost in a metal frame, or vice versa, invites problems. Metal should be greased, but carbon fiber should not be. The seatpost clamps of metal frames easily damage carbon-fiber seatposts.

Most of the size information on the list below was provided by people like you. We have no way to check the accuracy of the data. It should be noted that frames can be reamed out to take a larger-sized seatpost, and sometimes a replacement seatpost may be a slightly different size than the original.

Measuring is better than guessing. Most better bicycle shops will have a set of seatpost-sizing rods like this:

Alternately, you could check the diameter of a seatpost that fits. The diameter is stamped on many seatposts (usually on the part that is fits inside the bicycle's seat tube and gets scratched up and covered with grease, *sigh*). You also could measure the diameter of the seatpost and of the hole in the seat tube using a dial indicator or vernier caliper.

Dial indicator caliper

Vernier caliper

You don't even need a caliper to compare seatposts. A large adjustable wrench, set to just slip over a seatpost, is fine that purpose. -- see our article about trick measurement techniques .

Sheldon collected seatpost-size dimensions to place in the table below. I (John Allen) rpeat: I have dropped this task, for two reasons: it is tiresome, and measuring is far more reliable. As the saying goes, a comparison is better than a measurement. But also, a measurement is better than looking up a measurement of a different seatpost or seat tube. There is no guaranteee that it will be correct just because the bicycle make and model match those in the table. Compare, or measure!

That said, here are links to the measuurements we have.

Continued at https://www.sheldonbrown.com/seatpost-sizes-m-z.html...

Sheldon was previously listing people who had contributed data points to this list, but doing so more than doubles the time it takes to enter data, so he stopped doing it, and we hope everybody will forgive us for discontinuing this..
