Bike Parts

Every regularly used bicycle will eventually need replacement bike parts. It’s just the nature of the beast. Items like wheels, tires and brake pads are usually the first items in need of replacements.

There are, however, some bike parts that are less likely to break, and more expensive to replace when they do. By far the most expensive part of a bike to replace is the frame, which can cost nearly as much as a new bike. Fortunately, the likelihood of breaking a frame is quite small, although it has been known to happen.

Bike parts aren’t always purchased for replacing broken pieces. Many people choose to upgrade the components of their bikes, for varying reasons. Switching solid forks to shocks, for example, is quite common.
