Where do I put this on a road bike? 160-200 mm travel That's a lot of travel. Riding dirt is like skiing. It's just a f**kton ton of fun. You should try it sometime.

Where do I put this on a road bike? I think my explanation was very clear. I guess you could gravity ride with a road bike. Have someone drive you to the top of Mt. Washington and ride down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted December 9, 2018 Share #10 Posted December 9, 2018 Having been a roadie for 30+ years I thought all mountain bikes where basically the same. When I got into it I got a hard tail (front suspension only). It was a good but budget bike that was great for learning. As my stoke grew and I had a better understanding of how & where I wanted to ride I did a ton of research. The more I read up the more I realized the different riding styles equated to different types of bikes with different wheel sizes, tire types, drivetrain types, suspension types & set up... It can get overwhelming but I loved learning all about it. The one thing that really differentiates Road from mountain is "the stoke". I'll do a 40 mile road ride and pack up and go. I'll do a 1.5 hour mountain bike ride and finish with fist bumps, high 5's and a big smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
