BrakesMechanical Disc BrakesMechanical discs 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.
DrivetrainMicro GearingWe've borrowed a little trick from our BMX friends, and used a smaller cog and chainring while maintaining the same ratio. This gives better clearance for grinds and tricks, all while dropping weight.Mid-Type BB / Campy Style HeadsetEasy bearing removal for servicing and replacing. No need for tools.
Fork20mm Through AxleA large diameter axle, ends firmly piched by the fork legs, greatly increase the stiffness and steering response of the fork.
Frame4130 Cromo TubingChromoly steel frames can be much stronger than aluminum. This is particularly important for street bikes, which are abused and crashed regularly. Also, the properties of steel give it a nicer, more supple ride than aluminum or carbon.Butted TubingBy thinning the walls of the frame tubing, you achieve lighter weight and better ride quality.S-bend SeatstaysBy 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.Sliding DropoutsThe rear wheel dropouts slide horizontally to adjust chainstay length, and allow you to even run your bike as a single speed. They are also Rohloff ready, should you choose to use an internally geared 14 speed hub.Sloping Top TubeA Brodie trademark, the sloping top tube gives more clearance in emergency situations.
WheelsBolt On Rear HubBy eliminating the rear quick realease we've stiffened the rear triangle of the bikes for better tracking.
