Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels
The Gala 24 2019 bike is equipped with 24″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Raleigh Gala 24 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.
