Road
Used road bike gear on Cranxs covers complete bikes and frames through to components, wheels and tyres, shoes, protection and clothing. Because it's a marketplace where cyclists buy from each other, you'll find both new and pre-loved kit that suits your budget and your ride.
What's in the Road category?
The Road category groups everything that goes on a road bike or on the rider: road bikes, frames, components, wheels and tyres, shoes, protection and clothing. Every section carries a mix of new and used items listed by fellow riders, so the same page will often show a current-season part alongside a well-cared-for second-hand one.
Should I buy a complete bike or a frame?
A complete bike is the simpler route — a lightweight carbon fibre frame for racing or a comfortable endurance bike for long rides. If you'd rather build or upgrade, frames are sold on their own, from aerodynamic racing frames to sturdy endurance frames. Buying a used frame is a good way to get a high-end model at a fraction of the cost.
Which components are worth buying used?
Groupsets, front derailleurs and brakes all turn up regularly, so a drivetrain upgrade or a replacement for a worn-out part rarely means paying new prices. Buying direct from other cyclists is how high-quality used components stay affordable, and the workshop section covers the tools for fitting them.
How much do wheels and tyres change the ride?
Wheels and tyres dramatically affect ride quality, speed and comfort. A lightweight wheelset helps on climbs, durable tyres cope with winter conditions, and a tubeless setup adds puncture resistance — all available new and used from leading brands.
What kit do I need beyond the bike?
The right cycling shoes improve pedalling efficiency and comfort on long rides, from stiff-soled racing shoes to versatile clipless shoes for commuting. On the road you're sharing space with cars, so helmets, gloves and eyewear matter, and breathable jerseys and weatherproof jackets keep you comfortable and aerodynamic in any condition.
Why buy from other riders?
Cranxs is a community of cyclists selling gear directly to each other, which is where the deals on both new and used items come from. It also gives quality kit a second life, reducing waste as well as saving money.
