Rapidé’s LSL Frame Geometry: Long, Slack and Low
Rapidé’s Long Slack and Low geometry has many advantages including increased confidence riding steep terrain – even at high speeds.
Short Stems & Wide Bars
It’s all about bike control. Shorter stems center your weight and quicken the steering response. Wider bars give you more leverage and more control over the steering. A wider bar will shift more of your weight forward and the shorter stem will compensate for this.
Oval Chainrings?
Oval chainrings may not be a new invention, but coupled with the enhanced chain retention of a narrow-wide tooth profile, oval chainrings are more popular than ever.
1 x Part 2: Advantages of a 1 x Single Chainring Drivetrain
A single chainring drivetrain has a number of advantages: it’s lighter, simpler, faster changing and more efficient. It lowers the chance of a mechanical, and it requires less maintenance and cleaning.
1 x Part 1: Why convert to a 1 x Single Chainring Drivetrain?
Upgrading your drivetrain to a 1 × system is an innovative and easy way to drop weight, reduce the chance of mechanicals and create a clean, efficient drivetrain.
Single Speed? Part 3: Cost and Time Savings
Maintenance on a single speed bike in terms of both cost and time are so much lower than on a geared bike. With no derailleurs to tune and cables to clean, adjust and lubricate all you have to do is take care of your chain.
Single Speed? Part 2: A New Kind Of Riding Experience
Riding a single speeder on or off road is the same familiar bike riding feeling but with a whole new angle, challenges and benefits.
Single Speed? Part 1: A Bike Reborn
The beauty of a single speeder is that due to its simplicity you don’t have to worry about parts compatibility – whether the derailleur will work with a particular brand of shifter, or whether a 9/10/11 speed chain is compatible with your cassette. In fact the less color / brand / model co-ordinated the better. It’s not contrived, not hip or fashionable…it just is.
