Overview of components
Wheels
The 3500 Disc 2013 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. 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. Trek 3500 Disc has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
