Overview of components

Wheels size

The wheels on Jack 1 are the 26″ aluminum type. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, you will need increased suspension than in the case of 29″ wheels.

Brakes

When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Jack 1 has Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
