I have a '96 5200 which i am currently upgrading to DuraAce & new sheels. No problems with the decals, but the clearcoat has blemishes. Love the bike. It was recently in the shop and I had to ride my old steel frame. The ride was much harsher than the carbon Trek.psmalley said:I'm riding a 2001 5500, and have no issues with decals or anything else.
We just had the same problem with a Trek 5500 fram filling with water following a days ride in the rain. There was a full 8oz of water that drained out!DENNIS8075 said:After a 30 mile ride in the rain, my 5200 frame was filled with water. Is this normal? If not, what maintenance steps should be taken after rain rides (I live in Pittsburgh, So ther will be a lot of rain rides)?

Our diagnosis is that it is coming in through the headset, and the headset bearings were somewhat rusted.
I'm looking for solutions!

1) The decals on the top tube wrinkled up and started peeling off. The LBS that sold it to me said woops, looks like the clear coat happened to be UNDER the decals. They said I can get Trek to apply new decals if I want to go through sending it back to the factory. Pretty cheesy.
2) I, too, found what I think was, at a fair estimate, over a cup of water in my frame. How long it had been there, I don't know, but I had ridden a couple of weeks before in a 60-mile ride with a lot of light rain. I also drained it by removing the seatpost and turning it upside down, but that took a fair bit of shaking and tilting the frame around before water stopped coming out. It was a shock. Now that I think about it, I rode in the rain last week, and I bet there's more water in it. For anyone sweating over 200 grams and such, this was a heckuva lot more water than that. And yes, did it do anything to things like the headset or bottom bracket? And why isn't there a drainage system? Pretty far out - anyone with these Trek OCLV frames oughtta check them for water.
