Conway MS 329

The "MS 329" model from Conway, released in 2021, is a versatile bicycle that impresses with its solid specifications and attractive value for money. The frame is made of aluminium, which gives the bike a good balance between stability and weight. The maximum load capacity is 130 kg, making it suitable for a wide range of riders.

The bike is fitted with TEKTRO “AL855” V-brakes, which offer reliable braking performance. The brake levers are from SHIMANO, model “ST-EF41”, and are well-matched to the brakes. The derailleur is also from SHIMANO – specifically the “RD-TX800” model – which enables 7-speed shifting. Together with the SHIMANO “Altus FD-M313” front derailleur and the “ST-EF41” shift levers, the MS 329 offers a total of 21 gears, suitable for a wide variety of terrains.

The bike’s fork is the SUNTOUR “XCE” with 100 mm of travel, which provides extra comfort on uneven terrain. The pedals are one-piece Welgo “C280DU” models, which ensure a secure footing. The bottom bracket is the SHIMANO “BB-UN100”, combined with an “FC-TY301” crankset, which features three chainrings (24/34/42 teeth) and has a length of 175 mm. The SHIMANO “TZ500” cassette offers a range of 14–34 teeth, which, in combination with the KMC “HV500” drivetrain, enables efficient power transfer.

The handlebars are CONWAY risers with a diameter of 31.8 mm and a width of 720 mm, fitted with CONWAY “Sport” grips. The stem also measures 31.8 mm and ensures a stable connection between the handlebars and the frame. The headset consists of ZS44 / ZS56 components.

The rims are CONWAY hollow-chamber models, fitted with IMPAC “Ridgepac” tyres in size 54-622 at both the front and rear. The hubs are made of aluminium and feature a quick-release (QR) mechanism, whilst the spokes are made of black steel. The saddle, the Conway “3378 light” model, is mounted on a CONWAY patented seatpost with a diameter of 31.6 mm.

Overall, the Conway MS 329 offers a well-thought-out package at a price of 419 EUR, suitable for both beginners and experienced cyclists looking for a reliable and functional bike.
