Overview of components
Fork material

Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Café 1 W bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. 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. Felt Café 1 W has Coaster brakes installed. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, they have flaws, especially if the chain falls off.
