How to choose the frame of the bicycle?

The main reasons for choosing a bicycle are: first, whether it is a good frame, second, whether it is composed of good parts, and third, whether the assembly technology is good. Only when these three factors are scientifically combined can it be regarded as a good bicycle.

1. What is the frame? 

The frame is equivalent to the human skeleton, and only with the frame can various bicycle parts be installed. The frame is composed of iron, aluminum alloy, and other materials, and the angle formed by the length of the pipe affects the characteristics of the overall bicycle. For example, bicycles that ride better in a straight line, bicycles that are easy to turn, bicycles that ride comfortably, etc. Many of these factors come from the frame.

2. What makes a good frame? 

Lightness, firmness, and good elasticity are one of the goals pursued by the frame. In order to achieve this goal, it depends on the craftsmanship of each frame manufacturer. For example, whether the designed frame is designed according to the strength and characteristics of the material, and whether the welding process is mature. These all directly affect the appearance, strength, and elasticity of the frame. The more important thing is to spray paint. A good frame is evenly sprayed and sprayed with 3-4 layers of paint. Don't underestimate the spray paint, a good spray paint can make the bicycle easy to maintain and not easy to rust. Using a frame that doesn't meet the above requirements can result in a bike that doesn't ride in a straight line or doesn't turn easily or a bike that breaks down quickly.

3. What materials is the frame made of?

 Most of them are iron frames. However, iron frames are also divided into chrome-molybdenum steel, high-strength steel, ordinary steel, and other frames with other components added to iron. After adding these other components, they can be made into thinner pipes, for example, Making the overall frame lighter. Recently, frames using materials other than iron, such as aluminum alloys, have appeared without reducing the strength. In bicycle competitions, there are frames made of titanium and carbon fiber materials.

Trifox has many different types of carbon fiber frames, road frames, full-suspension frames, and mountain frames, as well as a lot of accessories for bicycles, if you are looking to build a bicycle recently, you may wish to take a look.
