General Urban bikes average price

General Urban bikes average weight

Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels
The Indie Two 2010 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Norco Indie Two has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
