3. Braking system

Brake Currently, there are 2 main types of brake: disc brake and rim brake. In disc brakes, the two quick divisions are the mechanical disc brake and the oil disc brake.

With oil disc brakes, the price is 2 3 times more expensive than mechanical brakes, because the oil brake works more stably, the pressure on the brake disc is more even because there are two brake pads pressed against the disc. When the mechanical brake is squeezed on one side of the brake pad on the outside, it will press the disc close to the inner brake pad, so it is easy to wear the disc and the durability of the disc is not high.

Note: When replacing the brake, people often replace the brake unit, not individually, for example, brake pads or brake discs.

4. Suspensions
