Carbon Road Wheels Disc Brake VS Rim Brake

图片
  Since disc brake bikes are allowed to be used in UCI racing, disc brake has been the mainstream in the market. Some riders may doubt, should I go for disc brake or stick with rim brake? To answer this question, let’s compare the advantage and disadvantage between   rim brake   and   disc brake carbon wheel . Generally, the main difference between disc brake and rim brake is where the force is applied. In disc brake system, disc rotors are mounted to the hub (either 6-bolt or center lock), and calipers are mounted to frame (on chainstay) and fork (near bottom). During braking, the force is transferred to the brake caliper and it squeezes rotor to stop the hub attached to it rotating. In rim brake system, brake calipers are normally mounted to the seat stay (or under bottom bracket) of frame, and near the top of fork. During braking, the force is transferred to the brake caliper and it squeezes brake track of the rim to stop its rotation. Advantages of disc brake: - More friendly to th

How to brake correctly for novices?

  How to properly brake on a bicycle is probably the most basic riding skill. Of course, you may think that just by squeezing the brake lever, the brake pads squeeze the rim (or disc brake discs in many cases), the bicycle slows down and stops. But if you have ever experienced fishtail braking, brake failure, skidding or turning, you will know that the meaning of braking is much more than that. In this article, let's talk: how to use the brakes correctly and how the brakes work. 1. The center of gravity shifts back When you brake, move your body's center of gravity back and keep your center of gravity on the rear wheels. This will balance the braking force. If you have to brake strongly at high speeds, this can also prevent you from a front flip. The faster you brake, the more your center of gravity should move back. When you put your butt behind the seat cushion and your belly is on the seat cushion, doing so will give you a huge improvement in braking power and car control. 2

Why We Choose Gravel Bike

Gravel bike is a drop bar bike that you can ride on many different surfaces.Dropping handlebars and road-like bike designs mean you can make good progress on the road. Gravel bikes can be used off-road, gravel road, dirt road, fire, and even monorail. Gravel bikes are suitable for all kinds of road and off-road vehicles. They are designed to be fast on asphalt,but also capable of handling technical off-road drops and narrow monorail. The versatility of gravel bikes makes them ideal for long-distance endurance cycling, varied terrain, and even bike packing. On a gravel bike, you can connect different surfaces, paths and routes in one ride. The gravel bike's drop bar and frame geometry make it fast on flat surfaces, including asphalt. The real advantage of gravel bikes is that you can change tyres and install bigger   gravel wheels   and tyres, allowing you to improve grip and comfort on the bumpiest tracks. In other words, you can turn it into a fat bike! Finally, gravel bikes can m
