Product Description
The ubiquitous drop-bar road bike has been around for decades, and its design has seen little change aside from geometry trends and frame materials. This is due primarily to the UCI, the governing body that dictates and standardizes bicycles for competition. The Spot Brand Acme Bike - Belt Drive is a fresh break from the norm, and embodies everything those traditional, stuffy road bikes are not. A swept-back and ergonomic riser bar, progressive, upright geometry, hydraulic disc brakes, internally geared rear hub, and belt drive will all prevent the Acme from lining up at a ProTour race AAA but that doesn't mean this bike isn't fast. Spot uses its proprietary 7005 aluminum frame to give the Acme a distinctive and lively ride. It's shaped and butted (the tubing's thinner in the center), so the frame's light, stiff, and responsive, yet it will flex slightly over choppy pavement. This adds comfort to the long haul, and so does the carbon fork. But, this isn't any old carbon fork AAA it has been optimized for the loads powerful disc brakes place on it. Traditional carbon forks can't handle the braking forces of modern hydraulic brakes, Avid Elixir 1's in this case, because the forces twist the fork, and pull the wheel out of the dropout AAA not exactly safe. Thanks to Spot's thoroughness you won't have to worry about a haphazard, unsafe ride. Spot's attention to detail continues with the rest of the Acme's part specs. Most notable is Shimano's Alfine rear hub. This hub houses eleven gears, covering everything from a hill-climbing granny to a descent-blazing high ratio. The Alfine hub is highly regarded for its smooth operation and low maintenance. If you're of the 'set it and forget it' nature, you'll enjoy the Alfine's simple operation. That freedom from constant servicing and tuning continues with the Acme's advanced Gates Carbon Drive system. Spot has been a leader in the advent of belt drives for duty on the bicycle.
