2021-2022 Trek Domane AL 2 | A Fast, Lightweight, and Affordable Road Bike
#NewBikeDay!
This is my first ever road bike: The 2021 Trek Domane AL 2. It's Trek's most affordable roadie with a 2x8 full Shimano Claris group set, aluminum frame, carbon fork, 700x25c tires, a comfortable geometry together with lightweight profile that's perfect for beginners.
FROM TREK'S WEBSITE:
Domane AL 2 is the perfect gateway to comfortable road biking. It's stable, light, easy to accessorize, and fun to ride-all of which makes it the ideal choice for anyone looking for a great first experience with a real road bike.
It's right for you if...
You're a value-minded rider testing the waters of road cycling, and want a drop-bar bike that's an upgrade in feel, speed, and efficiency over a flat-bar hybrid or mountain bike. Domane AL 2 is a great choice if you're new to the road and want a quality road bike you won't immediately outgrow.
The tech you get
Lightweight aluminum frame with mounts for fenders and a carbon fork-features that are not typically available in road bikes at this price point. The Shimano drivetrain has 16 speeds, with shifters that are integrated into the brake levers so your hands never have to leave the bars. The wide range of gears makes it easier to ride terrain that varies in elevation. Plus, sturdy Bontrager wheels, puncture-resistant tires, and rim brakes.
The final word
Domane AL 2 is an ideal, comfort-first introduction to road riding. It's made for a great fit that's fast but not as aggressive as what you might see in the Tour de France. Plus, it's backed by our lifetime warranty.

3:02 Competitive commuter. Nice! Got my Domane AL2 last year. Came with disk brakes and 700X32mm Bontrager tyres stock. Replaced them with Panaracer GK SK 38mm on the stock rims. With the new rims now 38h x 35w x 22.5 InDiameter, The Panaracers now measures to a witdh of 40mm, with room to spare. Also upgraded to 105 drive train, 11-34cogs. Replaced the inefficient Tektro with Juintech hydraulic brakes. I find that the cable actuated hydrolic brakes easier to maintain and is a ton less money that I could afford to get the 105s full hydros.
Oh new bike!!! Nice!!! :)

Great video. Last year, I bought this bike and had fallen in love with it. It's a great bike, but one downside is the square-tapered cranksets. It flexes a lot when pushing the pedal hard.

Maraming salamat! Yes sir. Ako mismo first road bike ko siya, and I felt at home thanks to the comfortable geometry. Since I ride mostly sa Clark where the roads are great, wala ako masyado problema. But if you ride sa city and want to explore a bit offroad, I would recommend the disc brake version with its wider tire clearance. Mejo mas mahal nga lang ng around 10-15k.
How are you doing today with the Domane at 2? Is it possible to change the entire transmission to Shimano Tiagra 4700? Thank you

Good question! Atin lang parehung pros and cons. Ita ping sinabi mu, itang keng MTB dakal ka gearing options and mas maragul ya cogs, so good ya for beginners. Itang metung a advantage na pang akakit ku keng MTB, itang wide handlebar reach. Uling mas maka buklat ka gamat keng MTB, mas makabuklat ka salu, and breathing becomes easier. Pero ini, uling misane naku ukyatan plus mayan ya, agyu kuneng ukyat keng Lily Hill a eko man gagamitan ngan detang gears ku gulut (last time ku minukyat, atin ku pa yatang 3-4 gears a mitatagan). Plus, uling mayan ya, mas atin kung control keng bike, so eku mengapa-zigzag keng ukyat. Which means mas efficient and mas mabilis ing climbing. Sanayan murin. Dati eku man makatalakad to grind, pero ngeni uling misane naku kening RB, makatalakad naku, so apag-ukyatan kuneng masalese. Try ke kanyan Banal.

Not really. I think it's actually great for climbs because of the compact crank and the overall weight. But I still think that the rider's fitness, weight, and experience with climbs would play more of a role rather than the group set itself.
