Product Information

Full details

The Frog Gravel 67 is a 26-inch gravel bike designed for adventurous riders aged 10 to 13. It offers a stable and smooth ride on diverse off-road terrains, including dirt trails and gravel paths, thanks to its durable knobbly tyres and child-specific geometry. While it excels in versatility and encourages exploration, users should be aware that mechanical disc brakes, while reliable, may require more frequent adjustment than hydraulic systems.

FAQs

What is the recommended inside leg measurement for this bike?

The Frog Gravel 67 is suitable for riders with an inside leg measurement between 64cm and 86cm.

How do I adjust the saddle height?

The saddle height can be adjusted using the quick-release lever on the seat post. No tools are required for this adjustment, allowing for easy height changes as the rider grows.

Can I fit different tires to this bike?

Yes, the 26-inch wheels are compatible with various 26-inch tires, provided they fit within the rim's ETRTO/ISO 38-559 specification. However, the included knobbly tires are optimized for gravel use.

What type of brakes does this bike have?

The bike is equipped with Tektro Mira mechanical disc brakes, which provide reliable stopping power.

Is this bike suitable for commuting?

While primarily designed for off-road and gravel riding, the Frog Gravel 67 can be used for commuting. Its robust build and comfortable riding position make it capable, and the fork's accessory mounts allow for the addition of racks or mudguards if desired.

How much does the Frog Gravel 67 weigh?

The bike weighs approximately 9.9kg, making it relatively lightweight for its class and easy for young riders to handle.

What maintenance do the gear shifters require?

The Microshift shifters with FrogFit Technology® require basic maintenance such as keeping the mechanism clean and periodically lubricating the cable entry points. Regular gear adjustments may be needed to maintain optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Bike is making clicking or grinding noises.

Check the pedals, crankset, and bottom bracket for tightness. Listen to pinpoint the source of the noise. The chain may also need cleaning and lubrication.

Gears are not shifting smoothly.

Inspect the gear cables for damage or tension issues. The rear derailleur may need adjustment. Ensure the chain and cassette are clean.

Brakes are weak or rubbing.

Adjust the brake pad position and cable tension. Ensure the rotor is clean and not bent. For mechanical discs, ensure the calipers are properly aligned.

Tyre is going flat frequently.

Check the tyre for embedded objects (thorns, glass). Inspect the rim tape for damage that could be causing pinch flats. Ensure the tyre is properly seated on the rim.

Handlebars feel loose.

Tighten the stem bolts securing the handlebars and the steerer tube clamp. Ensure the headset is properly adjusted and tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Upon receiving the bike, ensure all components are present. Many bikes are shipped partially assembled.
  2. Attach the pedals to the crank arms. Note that left and right pedals are often marked.
  3. Install the seat post and saddle, adjusting to the rider's initial height.
  4. Check and adjust handlebar position and angle for comfort and control.
  5. Ensure tyres are inflated to the recommended pressure (usually indicated on the tyre sidewall).
  6. Verify brakes are functioning correctly and adjust as needed.

Compatibility:

  • Tires: The bike uses standard 26-inch wheels with an ETRTO/ISO of 38-559, allowing for potential tyre replacements within this size range, though the included Kenda K-1047 are specifically chosen for gravel performance.
  • Brakes: Compatible with standard mechanical disc brake rotors and calipers. Replacement parts should match the Tektro MD-C400 specifications.
  • Seat Post: Standard 31.6mm seat post diameter.
  • Stem: 1 1/8" steerer tube diameter.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the bike after riding in muddy or dusty conditions. Use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid high-pressure washers.
  • Lubrication: Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Apply bike-specific chain lubricant periodically.
  • Brake Adjustment: Mechanical disc brakes may require periodic adjustment as the brake pads wear. Check the cable tension and pad alignment.
  • Gear Tuning: Ensure smooth gear shifting. If gears skip or do not engage properly, the derailleur may need adjustment.
  • Storage: Store the bike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent component degradation.
