A bicycle is not only a good exercise machine, but also a way to relax and relieve stress. In order for women to ride more comfortably, special frames were developed. Many modern companies produce such bicycles. Now we will talk about the Stels Miss 5000. What are its advantages and characteristics?
Short description of the model Stels Miss 5000
The Velomotors company is engaged in the production of these bicycles. A lot of components are ordered from China, and then assembled in factories. So bicycles become cheaper.
The Stels Miss 5000 is a mountain bike. It has good cross and is designed for cross-country skiing. This means that he will not be a hindrance to ride through the woods, bumps, sand or mud.
The Stels Miss 5000 bike itself is very simple. It has the cheapest entry-level components installed. Therefore it is so cheap. The average price for such a bike does not exceed 170 - 180 dollars. For a mountain bike, it is very cheap.
Frame
The Stels Miss 5000 model is made of steel. Now most bikes are made from a special aluminum alloy. Steel is used only in cheap models. Although it is durable, it is heavy. Therefore, the design weighs quite a lot. In addition, if you scratch the protective coating (varnish, paint and primer), then this material may begin to rust. Therefore, such bikes should be monitored and looked after. But steel frames are cheaper than aluminum.
Some design features are also immediately visible. Since this is a female bike, then the frame should be appropriate. Its upper bar is tilted and welded slightly lower. So it’s easier for women to sit in the saddle.
You can immediately notice the bends of the iron pipes. It may seem that this is done for beauty. But this is not so. Bends make the frame stronger, so it can withstand heavy loads.
As for the design, then everything is in order. You can choose any color that you like. Stealth Miss is available in the following color categories: white, red, pink, gray, purple.
Depreciation
This is a problem not only of "Stealth", but of all more or less cheap models. By the type of depreciation, this bike belongs to hardtail. He has a front fork, which, in theory, should soften the ride. But actually it is not.
Here is a very cheap spring-elastomeric fork. Its installation is a good marketing move. Unaware people see that there is shock absorption, a powerful frame, so the bike seems good. But no one thinks about the quality of the components.
In fact, the spring only works in cases where the bike jumps off the curb. That is, under heavy loads. But it's not right. Good cushioning should absorb any uneven terrain.
Wheels
An important part on which the run depends, that is, how the bike will ride. Since the manufacturer in the Stealth series constantly carries out various modifications, you need to pay attention to them. If the Stels Miss 5000 V 26 is written, then 26-inch wheels are installed on it. This is the standard option. But there are still 28-inch wheels. Then at the end of the name will be the corresponding figure.
Pleased with the presence of a double rim. The walls are specially reinforced, so they are more resistant to deformation. Thanks to this, the G8 does not appear on wheels after each trip through the highlands.
Wide tires give maximum grip. Therefore, you can not be afraid of primers and rocky roads.
Brake
It is also necessary to pay attention to it. On a Stels Miss 5000 V bike, front and rear are ordinary rim brakes. This is evidenced by the letter V at the end of the name. They are already outdated for this type of bike. Now it’s fashionable to put disc brakes.
If you ride on rough terrain, then you can drop into the mud. If it sticks to the rim, the brake will not work well.
Drives do not have such problems. Each owner can make a small improvement to their bike. There are special mountings on the frame that allow you to install a disc brake.
Transmission
Here, the company also saved on components. They are all very cheap, and their quality is appropriate. If we take into account that 3 stars are installed in front and 7 stars behind, then 21 speeds are obtained in total. Since this is far from a sports model, such a quantity is enough for ordinary skiing. Switching is due to levers. This is much more convenient than an old-fashioned twist handle.
