Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of steel, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
The Faye Womens 3-SP 2017 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, you will need increased suspension than in the case of 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Felt Faye Womens 3-SP is equipped with Coaster brakes. These brakes are pretty efficient, and they’re not so pricey. However, they have flaws, especially if the chain falls off.
