Overview of components
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Ransom bike is equipped with the 29″ model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Felt Ransom has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
Felt Ransom 2014 is available in one size only. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
