BrakesMechanical Disk Brakes
Mechanical disks operate much the same way as hydraulic, but are actuated by a traditional cable. While they don't offer quite the same power, they are less expensive to purchase and maintain.
DrivetrainClipless Pedals
Clipless pedals allow you to attach your feet to your bike like ski bindings, giving you much more power and control over your bike.
Eccentric Bottom Bracket
By borrowing a little technology from tandems, we can use internally geared hubs with standard dropouts for user friendly wheel changes. The eccentric bottom bracket is also useful for tensioning the chain on single speeds, and avoids wheel slip.
Internally Geared Hub
By tucking all the gears INTO the hub, we eliminate the fragile drivetrain components that dangle from the frame. This makes for a durable, virtually maintenance free drivetrain. An added benefit is the ability to shift at a standstill, without pedalling.
FrameBi-Ovalised Downtube
By carefully shaping the frame tubing we are able to increase the stiffness of the frame without adding weight.
Butted Tubing
By thinning the walls of the frame tubing, you acheive lighter weight and better ride quality.
Full Rack and Fender Mounts
A full complement of specialised mounts allows for loading up your bike with all the necessary accessories for touring and commuting in comfort.
S-bend Seatstays
By carefully bending the seatstays, we are able to increase the ride quality of the bike. The curvy stays take a little bit of the sting out of road and trail imperfections.
Semi Integrated Headset
This style of headset allows for better bearing separation and longer headtubes with a larger weld surface, without the drawbacks of tight tolerances and potential damage of fully integrated headsets.
Sloping Top Tube
A Brodie trademark, the sloping top tube gives more clearance in emergency situations.
WheelsDT Swiss Spokes
DT Swiss make some of the most reliable, lightweight spokes in the world. This makes for a stronger wheel that stays true longer, with fewer broken spokes.
