Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of steel, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels size
The wheels on Dublin Three BLX are the 700c type. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Dublin Three BLX has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
