Wheels
The 5500 2004 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes

Sizes
This bike is available in 7 sizes. They vary from 157 cm – 195 cm (5.15 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
