Overview of components
Wheels
The wheels on LM500+ BLX are the 700c type. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The LM500+ BLX comes with Hydraulic Rim brakes. They are a bit expensive, and don’t deliver such a great performance. In short, you can look for a bike with disk or hydraulic disk brakes.
