Wheels

Tyres
"We chose very wide tyres (45mm) so that you can ride comfortably in town: a smooth rolling bike that can easily drive over small obstacles along the way. Not even cobblestones, sewer drains, potholes, or tramway rails can make you lose your balance!Inner tubes are equipped with car valves: you can inflate your tires at a service station. To avoid flat tires, we recommend keeping your tyres at a constant pressure between 3.5 and 4.5 bars (depending on your weight)
Wheels
The Elops 520 has 28-inch wheels with a single-wall rim and raw aluminium spokes. To protect your spokes and avoid flat tyres, we recommend inflating your tyres to a pressure between 3.5 and 4.5 bars. And to prevent the risk of theft during your activities in town, the wheel is attached with a locknut hub.

Brakes

Brakes
For efficient, safe braking, we have equipped your bike with aluminium front and rear calliper V-brakes.

Components

Handlebar
"The Elops 500 is equipped with a steering spring in addition to steel handlebars with ergonomic geometry and an aluminium damper stem (for lighter weight).The result? You are more comfortable while riding and the handlebars do not swing to the side once you lean the bike on the stand."
Seatpost
"The steel seat post further absorbs vibrations and the screw-in seat clamp collar limits the risk of theft. And the seat? This is our favourite part: after numerous tests, we chose this wide saddle whose foam padding has variable hardness to adapt to the pressure of your body in the saddle.Why this one? Because it is by far the most comfortable!"
