FUNCTION
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title size=”20″ font_family=”none”]
The best part of ordering a custom bike is the endless possibilities for your dream bike. The hardest part is navigating through all of the options.
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]“Function” refers to what your Waterford must do to perform properly. At first, the answer sounds simple as in, “I want a road bike.” No longer must you limit yourself to the offerings on the sales floor.
The first place to start is to determine how the bike will be used? Racing? Club rides? Credit card touring? Trails? This is the best time to clarify how you want to use your new Waterford. Then we can develop a design that anticipates your use, component selection, and other attributes.
How will you use your bike? In a few words, please summarize how you will use your bike. Then allocate your percentage of use to different kinds of riding. This helps us understand your “big picture” vision.[/mk_fancy_title][mk_padding_divider size=”30″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1537387625907{background-color: #dd8282 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
STARTING POINT
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]Knowing what kind of bike you want to ride is a great starting point in designing your custom bike. With all of the options available to the rider, it can be a bit intimidating to navigate through it all. Having the following in mind can help narrow down what is available to you when hammering out the details.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
DRIVETRAIN
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]Drivetrains are constantly evolving an require different configurations to achieve a smooth set up and the shift to electric and 1x drivetrains have created different needs and opportunities in frame design. The popularity of beltdrive has created a need for a special dropout which we can certainly provide if we know that is the end goal. Having your drivetrain in mind will be important in guiding many other decisions regarding handlebar choice and shift routing.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
HANDLEBAR
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]The choice of shifting system can determine your handlebar choices. If you are dedicated to a road group, it may require the use of a drop bar. An internally geared hub might require a flat bar to mount a required shifter. Knowing the handlebar shape and width can insure a ideal design for comfort and performance.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
WHEELS
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]Most road bikes use 700c wheels unless otherwise specified. Proper fit and safety may dictate an alternative size. When frames are required to be small, 650c or 26” wheels are typically used. These smaller wheels offer better stability and acceleration for some riders. Keep in mind that gearing should be adjusted to compensate for smaller wheels.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
TIRES
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]List the maximum tire size (width) you would like to use on your new bike. This affects frame construction, braking system choices, fit, tube selection, and a number of other decisions about your bike’s design.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
BRAKES
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]Your brake choice is linked directly to your desired maximum tire size. Also, if you wish to mount fenders, you will need to choose a brake that provides the additional clearance needed to do so.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
LOAD CAPACITY
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]Having in mind how much you want to carry when you ride will be important in figuring out rack braze ons and eyelet selection. If you want a dedicated race bike, think about watter bottle placement and if you want to carry a pump or a small frame bag. If you want to carry a ton of weight or want a specific rack style, make sure you get the correct rack mount dimensions.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1537387874628{background-color: #e8e8e8 !important;}”][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column border_color=”#000000″ width=”1/3″][mk_fancy_title margin_top=”20″ font_family=”none”]

[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]Brakes: Your wheel diameter, tire and fender clearance requirements will determine the available brake styles.

They are functional for a wide range of good weather road riding.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][mk_fancy_title margin_bottom=”5″ font_family=”none”]In recent years, good quality brakes have appeared on the market that provide the style of a road brake while providing more room for bigger tires plus fenders.

It’s better to have a frame over-designed for every day riding than it is to be under-designed for unsupported touring. An under-designed frame is more subject to high speed wobble and may be harder to control, especially on descents.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]We recommend front, as well as rear racks for loads over 20 pounds (10kg). If you plan to use a front rack please list the brand and model as the mounts are not standardized. We have a selection of front rack mount options that cover 80% of racks available. Mounting other racks may incur additional charges.
Light duty racks can mount off the brake bridge, avoiding the need for rack mounts. This can be desirable if you enjoy the clean look of a frame with a minimum amount of braze-ons.
For randonneurs, we offer standard mounts for Mark’s Rack from Rivendell. This rack is designed to support a light handlebar bag.[/mk_fancy_title][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]
An external chromoly rear rack mount option is included with your frame order. On stainless steel frames, Waterford rack mounts take the form of threaded bosses drilled into the seatstays (with a 2mm alignment tolerance).
