Overview of components
Fork material
Express has a steel fork, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
The wheels on Express are the 700c aluminum type. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Fairdale Express is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
Express comes in 2 sizes, that range from 157 cm – 182 cm (5.15 ft – 5.97 ft). In conclusion, it won’t take much to find one that’s right for you.
