Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the GFR C/B (Lime Green/Black) bike is equipped with the 20″ aluminum model. The 20″ wheels are a good fit for folding bikes, BMX, or children bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Coaster brakes. These brakes are pretty efficient, and they’re not so pricey. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
