Tips for buying your used road bike

First, you should think about what kind of road bike would suit you. Before you start your search, you should have a clear idea of your dream bike. Are you looking for a women's, men's or unisex road bike? Are you already a professional racing cyclist and therefore looking for a professional racing bike? Or do you want to enter the world of road cycling for the first time and are therefore looking for a road bike that is particularly suitable for beginners? With us, you will definitely find what you are looking for among many well-known brands such as BMC or KTM! We are happy to assist you in the entire process and advise you on your purchase.

`

Why a used and not a new road bike?

On the one hand, for environmental reasons: If you buy a used bike, then no new resources have to be used for the production. So you contribute not only by cycling, but already by the purchase of something to the preservation of the environment! On the other hand, a used racing bike is in no way inferior to a new one: neither in its functionality nor in its price! All our used road bikes still work perfectly, especially after they have been inspected and overhauled by us in our in-house master workshop. But used bikes at velio have even more advantages for you! The price of our used road bikes is significantly lower than the price of new bikes, even though most of them are less than three years old. So you can easily save your money and get a road bike of the same quality for a lower price. In addition, you get a warranty on the wheels purchased from us, with which you are certainly on the right side.

What should you look for in your search?

The right frame size and weight

The right frame size is just as important for you as the right frame material - because both should be perfectly matched to you and your needs. To make your search easier, you will find a Bike Finder on our website that shows you exact information about your future road bike - and all other bikes that catch your eye. We will tell you what material was used, how heavy the road bike is and what frame size the bike has, and give you all the other information you need.

`

Not everyone knows his correct frame size. But don't worry - we can help you. With our frame calculator in the Bike Finder, we can easily determine for you, based on your body size, which road bike is made for you! If you are not 100% sure about your body size, that's no problem either. For each bike, we also give a size range.

`

Price - How much does your used road bike cost you?

Just as broad as our range, are also the corresponding prices. So there should also be the right offer for your budget - no matter whether you are looking for a beginner or professional road bike. To make your search as easy as possible, you should have thought about what requirements you have for your road bike beforehand - because your ideas also influence the price range in which you are looking. You can find your dream road bike at velio for less than €2.000. In our offer, you will find road bikes at ideal prices!

`

The right equipment for your road bike

The purchase of your used road bike should be well considered, because there are many components that you should consider before you decide on your road bike. Are you looking for a classic road bike, an aero road bike, or an all-round road bike? Or are you looking for a road bike in the gravel category? You should also find out what material - carbon or aluminum - your bike should be made of and what kind of brakes it should have. In addition, the saddle of the bike plays an important role for you.

`

Aluminum or carbon?

Whether to choose a bike made of aluminum or carbon occupies many before buying their bike. Both aluminum and carbon frames bring special properties and advantages and disadvantages.

`

On the market, especially the carbon frames enjoy popularity. They allow the bikes to have an exclusive appearance with a light weight. Another advantage of carbon is its ability to spring. This means that the material is capable of absorbing shocks - thus providing extra comfort on jerky tracks. Almost every bike today has a fork made of carbon.

`

But aluminum frames should not be disregarded from the outset. Aluminum wheels are usually priced below carbon wheels. They are a popular choice, especially for beginners, because they can also offer them good riding characteristics. Aluminum frames can also be made that are similar to carbon wheels in terms of weight. However, carbon frames are often slightly lighter.

`

Disc or rim brake?

The question of the type of brakes on road bikes is also an important - and frequently discussed - question. At velio, we focus on bikes with disc brakes in our range.

`

Disc brakes have the advantage that they have a higher braking force than rim brakes. So if you have to brake abruptly on your way, the disc brakes are here clearly ahead of the rim brakes. In addition, their braking force can be precisely dosed. Unlike rim brakes, the braking distance of disc brakes remains short even in wet conditions, which is particularly advantageous off-road. In addition, the rims are worn less quickly, because only the brake disc wears out during braking - so there are fewer follow-up costs for you.

`

Your digital bike pass

You will receive a velio bike passport with your bike, which can help you in insurance and theft cases. In your bike passport you will find all important documents and data quickly and at a glance. This way, you can easily prove that the bike belongs to you.

`

With velio MyBike you always have your bike in your pocket and have all specifications and components of your bike digitally at hand. With the checkbook function, you can easily enter all repairs and modifications that have been made to your bike.
