930 Singletrack

Discover the Trek 930 Singletrack, a classic 1990s American mountain bike. Renowned for its robust craftsmanship, this vintage gem offers a blend of comfort, durability, and reliable performance. Perfect for enthusiasts of traditional bike designs, it's a testament to the enduring quality of an era.

• Category: Bike, Hardtail
• Price: $225
• Frame: True Temper OX Comp triple butted Cro-moly;
• Fork: Rock Shox Quadra 10
• Hubs: Shimano STX - 135mm

• Classic 1990s American craftsmanship
• Durable and comfortable design
• Reliable gears and brakes
• Good tire tread life remaining
• Solid handling characteristics
• Tyres arent great offroad
• A little heavy and slow

The Trek 930 Singletrack, a vintage mountain bike from the 1990s, stands out for its classic American craftsmanship and robust design. This particular model, with its 26\" wheels and a 20.5\" frame, is well-suited for riders who appreciate the blend of comfort and durability offered by traditional bike designs. Its current condition reflects a history of use but also care; it has no breaks or dents, yet it shows the expected signs of wear such as scuffs, scratches, and some light rust.

Functionally, the bike remains reliable. The gears and brakes are in working order, which is crucial for both safety and performance. The tires, although showing signs of age with flaking gumwalls, still have a decent lifespan left. However, the back tire does have a slow leak, indicating a need for either a new inner tube or a patch, a minor setback in the grand scheme of things.

The bike's handling characteristics are described as very solid, an attribute that many riders look for in a mountain bike. Its weight, around 29 pounds, is fairly standard for bikes of its era and build, providing a stable and grounded riding experience. The missing plastic bottom of one gear shifter, while noted, does not affect the bike's functionality, demonstrating the robustness of its design.

For potential buyers, the seller's commitment to proper packing and shipping is reassuring, especially with the offer to refund any difference if the shipping cost is less than anticipated. However, the note about higher shipping costs to California, Alaska, or Hawaii, and shipping only on Wednesdays are logistical considerations to keep in mind.

1993 Trek 930 Singletrack SHX worth updating?

• Add to quote

So I'll be moving out of the city soon and hopefully able to get back into mountain biking. With 2 kids, job, etc...it's been hard to get and ride out living in the city. I used to race when I was younger and had taken very good care of my Trek and upgraded most of it. It's still at my parents house and I've been thinking of picking it up when we move. I know I need to to fix a few things, BB, shock elastomers, cables, lube etc. Just wondering if it's worth fixing or selling it and buying something new. I know I can fix the shocks from a vintage shock site that sells refresher kits. but the rest not sure on, for example anyone know what size BB this bike had? I know this needs to be replaced, brakes were cantilevers and since I'd be running all new cables was thinking of upgrading them as well as the wheels.  

Not worth a whole lot. Elastomers can be a *****. I'd do cables, lube. tires, etc and ride it for a while. If mountain biking takes, think about getting something newer then.  

If you don't have a bunch of cash to blow, that's a hard bike to beat. Double butted True Temper frame, STX components, it's a blue collar trail beast if ever there was one. If you have a bit of discretionary income, buy a better 100ish mm fork, replace what else doesn't work, put at least some V brakes on it, perhaps a disc on the new fork along with a new wheel, and beat the crap out of it. In a few years, you'll either want a new ride, and have saved for it, or you'll appreciate it for what it is, a great tool to relax and unwind, and say it's good enough. Too many folks out there thinking they need the latest thing to have fun......  

thanks for the info, I have a Manitu 3 on it now. would a 100mm fork work with the frame geometry? For $45 I can get new inserts for the shock as opposed to a few hundred for a new shock all together. thanks for the advice.

trailville said: I think 100mm would be too much for that bike. Click to expand...

Between the two, I'd say 80mm too, especially for a 93. And you are more likely to find a nicer fork used than a 100mm. Between the three, I'd go rigid and get some fat tires on it. Maybe even single speed.  

MendonCycleSmith said: Not being argumentative here, but I'd disagree. A 150? Sure. that's a big old lever, but it'd handle 100 fine. It's a well built, sturdy, good name tubeset, etc. If he were a bruiser who wanted to dirt jump it, I'd concede to your point. In reading your thoughts though, I was struck with another thought. Simply pick up a travel adjustable version, It'd be in the 115 to 85 range, so you could find just right. I mentioned the slightly slacker 100 fork initially, as it will make the bike a bit more capable of handling the higher potential speeds going down hill, made possible by a fork that actually works Click to expand...

I'll third the rigid fork and fat tires option.. I also agree with Mendon on the comment about not needing the latest thing to have fun. A frame of that caliber would cost a whole lot more if it were being produced now, enjoy the classics because they represent value and quality we won't see again.  

If you have a bit of discretionary income, buy a better 100ish mm fork, replace what else doesn't work, put at least some V brakes on it, perhaps a disc on the new fork along with a new wheel, and beat the crap out of it. Click to expand...

momosgarge said: What quality forks could he buy that have adjustable travel and can be set for 80mm? I am also curious because I am tied up in the same kind of project. Click to expand...

Does anyone out there know what year the frame design switched on these trek 930's? I have a 1991 single track version with the lugged tubes and I was told the rigid fork is made to stay on and I cannot put a suspension fork on. I have seen later models with just modern day steel look to them but what year did trek switch?  

Check here... http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/Default.aspx or here: http://www.mtb-kataloge.de/ Good luck! frog  

The only difference between the regular model and shx was the shx came with a suspension fork and 1994 looks like the frame changed. Could have been before that but it only shows back until 94'.  

I picked up what looks to be a stock 1993 Trek 930 SHX Singletrack at the flea market. After some online digging, I learned that this is a virtually bombproof bike, with solid Shimano Altus components. I'm a big fan of vintage bikes, especially lugged steel frames like this one has. Looks like the only real issue with this bike is the suspension fork. Not overly familiar with suspension forks (I'm originally a road bike rider), but looks like the fork is locked up. Any suggestions on how to proceed?  

PaulCoffeeFreak said: proceed? Click to expand...

It's the original Shockwave fork, and yes, the elastomers appear to be toasted. If I'm not mistaken, this fork only allowed 1.5 inches of absorption. How much room, and what kind of shock fork am I looking for? I don't plan to ride too aggressively, mainly tooling around with the kids, some singletrack, basically trying to get fit again. I've been out of the cycling loop for 5 years or so...what's a decent suspension fork for this bike run these days?  

like ameybrook said, rigid would be best.  

Go rigid....  

Yeah, that's the conclusion I'm coming to. Any suggestions on a rigid fork that will work with the brakes? I'm demonstrating my ignorance, but I think they're cantilever. It's the stock setup, because the triangular plate with the brake cable stop says TREK. Looks like it was made specifically for this fork. Ok, so...rigid. Next step?  

I see rigid 26" forks all the time at local shops that sell used bike stuff. There's also ebay and cl. TONS of forks out there. I really like the Ritchey Logic forks and those come up for a good price fairly often.  

The Ritchey Logic is a carbon fork, right? How well will they hold up under a Clydesdale? I'm not planning to do a bunch of jumping and real rough riding, but I see curbs and ditches in my future.  

I have the same bike. My understanding is that 94 was the first year with suspension corrected geometry. You will want a 395 MM fork with a 45 mm offset.  

Am I understanding you correctly that these measurements are for a rigid fork?  

No photo of your 930? A-la before & after.  

Soon as I can get them. I had to let the air out of the tires and remove the wheels, just to get it in the minivan. Didn't plan on buying a bike that day, don't you know. I haven't reassembled it yet, but plan to ASAP. Not really a fan of electric plum paint, but I couldn't ignore a solid Trek cro-moly lugged frame that was rideable. Especially not with the Rapidfire Altus shifters. Always liked those better than the gripshift.  

Ah, I understand now. No bike co-op that I know about, but 3 very solid reputable LBS nearby. I'm sure between the 3 of them, somebody's upgraded a stock bike, leaving the stock fork behind. I'll keep those numbers in mind, see what I can dig up. Hopefully this won't happen: If they try to talk me into a suspension fork that they've taken off something else, what do I want to avoid? Any sketchy suspension forks I need to know about?  

Pics coming as soon as I can get them uploaded!

Trek 930SHX Bike Bike 1998 or Older

Trek 930SHX

• USER REVIEWS

Bullet proof steel frame. After 13 years of some hard riding and some down time in the basement the bike is better than new with componet upgrades.

Entry level componets, The Rockshox Quadra 5 was great in 1994, but not to good in 2007. The shock still works though. 27 lbs. is heavy for a hard tail.

The Thudbuster Seatpost turns this hardtail into a short rear travel full suspension bike with better traction than most rear suspention bikes. I'll be riding these bikes for another 13 years and then some. If you can find these bikes on Ebay cheap they are a great deal. Trek stopped making the 930 steel frame a few years ago.

1996 model: Handling, fit, stability, much more comfortable than many aluminum hardtails I test rode.

Cheap pedals. Rock Shox fork could be upgraded.

I love my '96 TREK 930 SHX. It's a nice sturdy and most of all, comfortable bike and the metallic blue paint is beautiful. I look back and think that the $700 that I paid for it was a little steep, but bikes simply cost more back then. I will probably keep it unless I start riding a lot more this year.

Similarly priced hardtails.

This has been a very durable bike from day one. The only type of maintenance I have had is a couple of flat tires. I regularly have it for tune ups to make sure. This bike handles all terrain easily, it did make my trip from SC to Chicago a bit longer and harder with the big tires but not having a flat tire or any other problems during that trip definitely paid off.

The bike really doesn't have weaknesses for when I bought it, even with the steel frame it was still lighter than other bikes I browsed.

I am preparing for a 2000 mile ride and will definitely be taking this bike (930 shx series)for the trip. Its too bad they no longer sell the model.

Got a 95 model of this bike. Had some problems at first. I have a small frame (the bike and me) and it came set up for a woman (Terry seat, short stem). I have since changed these to a Crossbow and a Specialized Ti stem. I had the same problems most report, the forks and the tires. I put Speed Springs in and put on some Specialized tires (both mods very cheap thanks to mail order) and the bike handles like a dream now. I got rid of the Grip Shift for Rapidfire (only $30 ) also. I just recently made the most expensive mod yet--$80 for a Thudbuster. A great neutral handing steel bike for a good price, needing only a few very cheap upgrades.

My brother's seat tube from his 1996 model of the 930 welded itself to the frame. Apparently he rode it a bunch in the winter - kept it greased up & all, but somehow was mysteriously stuck in the frame. Trek gave him a '97 SH-Whatever, and besides being forced to upgrade to V-brakes (due to frame geometry and mounts) he beats it to death and it still stands tall. I also ride a '96 930, but am paranoid of an identical problem. Keep your parts properly greased and oiled!!!

For the price I paid for my '97 Trek 930SHX, (on sale at $599) this bike is THE BOMB!!!! If you are in the market for a middle of the road (in both price and componentry) THIS IS THE BIKE FOR YOU! I love mine!!!

I've had the bike for 2 months now and it has worked out great. On two trips to Moab, one to Durango and lots of riding around here, I've had few to no problems (bent the rear derailleur dropout once). Some people have complained about the shifting: I spent $15 to upgrade to Rapid Fire since I don't like Gripshift. Also, I weigh about 190, so I upgraded the Indy C springs ($20) to ones suited to my weight (has not made much difference). Overall, the bike is an awesome value: I would have had to spend $800+ to get a ride only a little better (I spent $575 before upgrades). Advice: if you ride one and like it, buy it.Adam

I recently sold my 96 930 and purchased a '97 for about $575. I love it, I think that the upgrades such as the Indy-C shock, the v-brakes, and the 24 speeds make it an excellent deal. I beat the hell out of my 96 and I personally think that Trek has an excellent bike with the 930. My only complaint is that the Tioga Phycho tires do kind of suck, especially when cornering in loose terrain. I also personally like the gripshift, and I plan on entering a few races when I go back to Texas A&M in the fall, as I feel that this is a great entry level race bike.

Bought a 930 non-SHX about two years ago. Love it! I've been beating on it at a fairly bumpy, technical singletrack at Caesar's Creek for the past couple years and it has yet to fail me. It even survived after dragging it on the highway at 60+ miles an hour!

My 95 930 has been a trooper. The solid, predictable feel of this bike is remarkable. The oversized tubing resonates with a give me more feeling on roots and rocks. I've upgraded the bike with bar ends, clipless pedals, and a Rock Shox Mag 21. Althought the STX rear shifter needs a tweak now and then, this bike is generally a point and shoot reliable-as-Lassie wonder. Beat me, it says (yes, my bike talks to me, often), I'm no titanium techno weanie mega buck boutique piece! The purple to green powder finish give this bike the rustic yet stylish look it deserves! Two muddy thumbs up, way up!

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.

Get connected, workers force funding for moscow metro.

By Boris Kagarlitsky and Renfrey Clarke

MOSCOW — During the Gorbachev years, the popular Russian journalist Alexander Kabakov published a science fiction story entitled The Non-Returnee, in which he described the horrors of life after perestroika. He depicted a Moscow in which normal life had disintegrated, there was shooting on the streets, and one part of the city was at war with another. The only thing that still worked properly was the city's underground rail system, the metro.

Residents of the Russian capital are simply incapable of imagining the metro shutting down. But it now seems that a continuation of neo-liberal "reforms" is fraught with just this danger.

In Soviet times, the building of metro systems — not just in Moscow, but throughout the country — was funded centrally. The necessary sums were simply not to be found in local budgets.

Now the metro systems have been handed over to local authorities. In Moscow there is one transport policy, another in St Petersburg, and in provincial centres yet another. The uniform fares and technical standards of former years are now things of the past. Every city tries to solve its own problems as best it can.

In the recently adopted federal budget, no provision was made for the centralised funding of urban underground rail systems. City treasury authorities also refused to finance work on building and maintaining metro lines.

The cost of these tasks has been put at 3.4 trillion roubles, close to US$1 billion dollars. An immense sum for an impoverished country, this is nevertheless somewhat less than the Russian government, according to heavily understated official figures, spent up to the end of January waging its war in Chechnya.

Meanwhile, the Moscow city authorities would not seem to be short of money either, when it comes to funding projects dear to the mayor and his acolytes. The Moscow administration is currently spending vast sums building a concrete replica of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, demolished in the 1930s. The city government is also outlaying a huge slice of its budget constructing an underground complex beneath the Manezh Square, and is now promising to erect the world's tallest skyscraper on the banks of the Moscow River.

Extremely dubious from the economic, architectural and environmental points of view, these projects have drawn numerous public protests. According to experts, none of them is likely to be fully realised. But none of them has encountered problems with finance.

If the funds needed for the Moscow metro were not found, commentators warned during January, all plans for developing the system further would have to be postponed. There would be no new lines or stations, and thousands of metro construction workers would lose their jobs. The cost of a metro journey, currently 400 roubles, would rise to 1800. There would be long intervals between trains, and one heavily used line would have to shut down entirely.

Executives of Metrostroy, the enterprise responsible for building and maintaining metro lines, warned that the escalators at many stations would have to be stopped, and that accidents underground would become a routine matter. For that matter, Muscovites would not be safe from accidents above ground either. Metro construction workers constantly pump water out of foundation pits and new tunnels. If this work were to cease, the soil would begin to subside and cave in.

At a conference in mid-January, the Metrostroy trade union resolved to call a strike for January 31 in protest against the disintegration of Moscow's underground rail transit system. The city authorities then declared that they would not allow the trade unions to force the redistribution of budget funds. It seemed that the prospect of the collapse of the Russian capital's transport system, and even the danger that people would be killed, troubled them much less than the need to observe "budget discipline".

Then the city authorities began to think again. Unlike most Russian workers, the people who build and run the Moscow metro are not without industrial muscle. The economy of the Russian capital depends on millions of workers being able to travel across the city each day by public transport. The cost to employers of even a brief metro stoppage would be enormous.

As they planned their action, the metro workers had a variety of effective tactics to choose from. If construction workers stopped pumping water from new tunnels, various existing lines would soon be flooded. Metro train drivers would not even have to strike; simply by following regulations and refusing to take out carriages with mechanical faults, they could cut the number of trains per hour to a handful.

The Moscow authorities had little reason to hope that the public would blame the workers rather than the city officials for the resulting chaos. Consequently, the prospect of strike action on the metro appears to have caused the city administration genuine alarm. This evidently penetrated to President Boris Yeltsin, for whom Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov has been a vital political ally. Late in January, Yeltsin ordered the Russian government to come up with the funds needed to continue metro construction in several Russian cities, including the capital.

The future of Russia's metro systems is far from assured. Notoriously, funds budgeted or otherwise promised by the government are delivered late, and rarely in full. Despite Yeltsin's instructions, the new allocations for construction and maintenance will fall immediately under the gaze of cost-cutting zealots in the Finance Ministry.

Defenders of public transport, however, have the perfect answer to the financial hatchet-wielders: just take the money from the funds assigned for fighting the war in Chechnya.
