Overview of components
Fork material
Cross-Check Frameset has a steel fork, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the frame.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Surly Cross-Check Frameset is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
