Incredible forethought went into its carbon design and production. The Fuji Gran Fondo 2.4 Disc road bike is such a bike. For such an event, you need a bike that can perform flawlessly, but provide the comfort and handling you need for a long haul. The routes are usually varied in mileage and provide beautiful scenery to riders of all abilities.

Gran Fondos are often long, arduous rides where rider camaraderie and comfort are pivotal to enjoyment. The Fuji Gran Fondo has made its name for the very ride that it was designed to tackle: the Gran Fondo. So that's why I'm worried about the long term reliability of these forks."Do you like precision? How about low weight and ergonomics? Good, we do too. I am planning on a new all-steel bike soon and I was thinking of giving the current bike to my daughter or her boyfriend. I think the carbon fork and the design of the rear stays helps a lot with that. I'd have to say that it absorbs bumps very well and I haven't had a problem with vibration transfer to the contact points often associated with 6061 alloy frames. I've done about 20,000 klm (12,000 miles) in 4 years which includes a lot of gravel and bumpy bike paths. Does anyone know of any long term issues with this fork? Any reports of breakages? I'm a fairly lightweight rider (55kg or 120 pounds) so I don't think I put a lot of stress on any of the components.

This has carbon blades joined to an alloy steerer. The Newest 2.0 came fitted with the FC-770. But I don't think I'm hijacking to put it in here.
#Fuji bikes performance series#
I was going to start a new thread about the FC series carbon-alloy forks after reading that long thread about carbon fatigue and breakages. That was a pretty low-end entry-level bike at the time. I've got a Newest 2.0 from about 2011 with a threaded BB. If you want to upgrade, just do the above and go from there.įuji's decision to put Press Fit bottom brackets on every bike they make must be fairly recent.

Fuji is part of a much larger corporation that did indeed cut many corners and costs on your bike but it's still fine to ride. There's nothing at all special about anything on your bike but it all works. Or you can just accept what you have and ride the hell out of it. Those are fine if they can handle 11-speed. Might want to get some nicer wheels, that's up to you. (in the upper right choose the USA and US dollars) This will give you the chance to pick your perfect gearing.
#Fuji bikes performance upgrade#
So you understand what I mean, a groupset is the following:Īka everything you need to upgrade all of your drivetrain and brakes.ĥ800 is the new 11-speed 105 level of components from Shimano You can buy the entire groupset for about or less then $400 and every single part of it will be a big upgrade to what you have. You can do yourself a HUGE favor by upgrading the entire groupset to Shimano 5800. It doesn't make it a bad bike, but I wouldn't be looking too closely at it. Everything that says Oval on it is a "house brand" low cost alternative to an established company's part. The brakes are pretty bad, the crank is cheap. It's a lower end road bike with cheap parts on it. Tires: Vittoria Zaffiro Slick - 700 x 23c Do some 327 wheelsets come stock with better hubs than this? Is this where they lowered costs? Hubs - Front and rear - Oval Concepts 300. But, now with some research, I've noticed that several bikes that are more expensive, have this wheelset. When I first bought the bike, I thought these were probably cheap and why the price is low. Wheelset - Oval Concepts 327 - This is one I'm very interested in. Seat - Oval Concepts 500 - this appears to be a better seat than is listed on the specs? (300 is listed) This is what some specs I found say - but several of those specs are wrong for my specific bike.īRAKES:Tektro R-320 dual pivot - Can't verify- this is what a spec sheet says

Do you know?īOTTOM BRACKET ress-Fit BB86 - don't know how to verify this. Not sure what the model is of the crankset. and Opraxis Works, Cold Forged, Levatime on the big Chainring.
