Overview of components
Wheels
The wheels on T700+ BLX are the 700c aluminum type. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek T700+ BLX is equipped 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.
