Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
The Opie 24 2008 bike is equipped with 24″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Gary Fisher Opie 24 has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
