Capitola components
Fork
Gary Fisher Capitola 2006 bike is equipped with the RST CAPA fork, and has 63mm travel. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Capitola bike is equipped with the 26″ aluminum model. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Gary Fisher Capitola has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
This bike is available in 7 sizes. They vary from 158 cm – 189 cm (5.18 ft – 6.2 ft). In conclusion, it won’t take much to find one that’s right for you.
