Overview of components
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the T80 7-Speed Lowstep BLX bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
