Don't ride it enough to keep it around unfortunately for me
Go have fun and enjoy it, great bike geometry and options to keep you rolling for a long time!!!
Could also set up with a belt drive if you wanted to go extra maintenance free - since the chain stays are routed around the crank
Here's a review -
Stache, its that its a wicked fun bike. Trek went out of their way to make sure that the new 2016 Stache retained all the features about the previous generation Stache that people were stoked on, that being the bigger travel on the front end (110mm) and the super short chainstays. Then they mixed in the one thing that makes the Stache a real head turner, crazy wide 29er, 3 inch wide tires
Running such big tires means that with the Stache you’ll also be running a pretty low tire pressure, somewhere between 10 and 13psi is where I keep mine at. This means that the bike soaks up a lot of the roots and trail feedback that you might get, making the bike feel a bit more like full suspension light, rather than a traditional hardtail. Between the rollover capabilities that you get with a 29er and that extra absorption from the tires, I get why some reviewers and commenters from people who’ve actually ridden the bike say that the Stache can take place of a full suspension bike if what you’re used to riding is lighter trails, singletrack, and cross country riding.
