Overview of components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the SunTour model. The travel on this model is 50mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the PreCaliber 20 model has 20″ aluminum wheels. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, they are great for flat ground or very easy trails.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek PreCaliber 20 is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
