TL;DR what do I get for all year-round cycling to work (medium ammount of snow / ice in winter time) MTB or FAT bike? Hello, I am comparatively new to cycling, and have close to no knowledge about different types of bikes. However I would like to buy a bike that I could use to go to work and back all year round, so that I wouldnt need to drive my car as the distance is only 5km one way. (save gas, burn a couple extra calories as well). And I was considering getting myself a FAT type bike to ride in the winter months, however a consulting in a bikeshop got me thinking whether it would be more efficient to buy an MTB bike an swap out the tires each season, or should I stick with the FAT type bike purchase and ride it, all year round. So I would like to ask you, the people with more expertiese on cycling, insight on what should I get for myself, maybe give a list of pros and cons for each type of bike.

I saw used Btwin 700 carbon shoes being sold for a very low price(around 30$) in good condition and i got tempted and picked them up but they have MTB cleats and I’m wondering if it was a good purchase and I should buy MTB pedals like M520? Or I shouldn’t invest in that system and try to sell the shoes again and get something with SPD-SL system? I’m not planning on racing but i want to ride fast and maybe long rides, it’s also my first clipless experience, I’m worried about what some people mentioned here about the hotspot but maybe it won’t be bad with a stiff carbon shoes? My budget is limited and I didn’t see any good shoes in that price range where i live.

I currently own a road, gravel and mtb and love them all. Am considering getting an emtb too for recovery days and just messing around on but am worried it’ll be so fun (and easy) that I won’t want to ride my regular mtb anymore. Anyone have any experience or advice related to this?!

Hi all, I recently started biking to get around town and I'm enjoying it a lot. Right now I'm riding an old Trek 3500 mtb and thinking about getting a hybrid bike. Would a hybrid bike in the $600-700 range be a noticeable improvement for city biking? Would either a hybrid or mtb be suitable for biking around in a Wisconsin winter? If I do move forward with getting a new bike, are there any specific recommendations at around my price range? Should I try to buy used? I don't really want to get too deep into components, but is there anything in particular I should be looking for? Thanks!

Based on everyone's recommendation around me, I took an MTB as my first bike. While I guess I'll work hard to get fit with an MTB on road. I do want to move to an easier tyre in the future. My current bike has 29x2.20 tyres, what should I be replacing them with without looking too ridiculous. All the tyre sizes are so confusing to me.

I recently picked up an ebike for a bargain, knew the bike had some miles on it and the tyre might need replacing soon. Well it’s happened today, I’m looking to do a fair bit gravel riding (think unpaved British country side), along side with my city commute. So I’m strongly considering getting gravel tyres, since I’m want my bike to be dead reliable. My question is, does gravel and mtb tyres provide extra puncture resistance, or is the difference all about grip level? In other words, can I expect to see less punctures if I got my bike with gravel or mtb tyres?

Hello guys, I am in the middle of decision making for my new MTB. Basically I have picture of what I want, just need maybe a little advice. For the context, I have been riding for a year and few months, I like riding in nature, off-road, forest paths, etc... Right now I have 1.5K km this year and counting. So I am looking for XC Bike. Also, I would like to try some MTB marathons in the future, so keep that in mind. Frame: I would like to try carbon frame on new bike. But I am not really sure about this, it's like I want to try, have money for that but little afraid that I can damage it or do I really need it? On the other hand, I can repair that, aluminium probably not (maybe yes? idk). Also, I don' really want rear shock due to one more component to take care of + full-suspension carbon bikes are little too pricy. Fork: Don't really care if it is Fox or Rockshox, just want something decent, something middle ground (not SID Select SL or some lower end class fork). But I want air fork. Maybe forks by Giant are good? For other components like groupset I have clear mind that Shimano is way to go for me. I am trying to avoid SRAM SX/NX ... Wheels: aaaah, idk here. To me, wheels are kind of more important that groupset that I can buy and replace for less than good set of wheels. But most of brand offer better wheels (e. g. DT Swiss) on higher-end bikes. ​ I would really appreciate your opinions, maybe your experience with your bikes

I am looking for entry level MTB bike. Most of the time I will use it on mild gravel and forest paths, occasionally to the bikepacking and rarely to the MTB races (not looking for high places, just for participation and experience). Currently, I am interested in Rose Count Solo 3. From the first glance the specifications are at high end at this price point and everything else seems perfect (maybe, except external cable routing from aesthetics point of view). Maybe someone has this bike and could share insights? Or maybe someone else has some thought about this bike or suggestions about alternatives?

Hey guys, I would like to know your option on what are you doing with bikes, that you are not riding anymore. I bought last year my first bike ever, it's 29" hardtail MTB for like 500€, in that time it was with 3x8. I rode it for 200km, upgraded drivetrain to 1x10 for 200€, rode it more. Then I bought second-hand gravel. MTB showed me nice paths, got me into riding in nature, forests, unpaved roads, single trails BUT gravel can do that too - with some small limitations. Now, I have bike, that I am not riding that much, need some updgrades (default cheap tires from factory), need some maintenance on brakes. Not really sure if I want to spend money on bike, that is not really good (that fork is not really good one, retail price is like 60€, SR Suntour XCT30) and that I am not really riding too much. Updrading fork on 500€ bike is crazy, even cheaper air fork would cost me 250€ at least. Selling it is option for me (got some emotional bond with that bike but whatever) but at what price? Bike was 500, drivetrain was 200, some minor things like bottle cages, grips, etc... Edit: sometimes I feel like I want to ride it, go on trails, go to harder terrain that gravel can't do. Gimme some friendly advice, please.

I bought a MTB 2 weeks ago and it is OK. Was £300 and is quite heavy at 16kg. I've really enjoyed going on adventures on it but all I ride are bridleways..country lanes and forest paths. And im wondering if I would be better with a hybrid bike and pay a bit more...around the £600 mark...they seem to come with hydraulic discs and around 10-11kg The brakes on my MTB are terrible cable disc brakes that hardly work. I can't take the bike back because storing the bike has scratched the frame slightly (doh).....wondering people's thoughts on whether a hybrid would be more suitable for me as I never plan on 'sending it' and just like to explore. I don't want a gravel bike as I don't like the drop bars. Thabk you all.

I've been using Shimano XC901s for road, mtb and gravel and they've been great. I'm also riding on the velodrome much more lately and my older Lake road shoes just don't feel comfortable like they used to (need road pedals for stiffer and secure retention) I've seen several great deals on lightly used or closeout road rc901s, I'm just hoping to get confirmation that the fit is *exactly* the same between the road and MTB versions of equivalent model in the same size. TIA

Hey, I'd really like to purchase a bike I could use for both urban and mountain rides (eventually). I'm thinking about whether an MTB is a good choice for me. The reason why I think an MTB is a good choice is that it allows me to do both of these terrains. At the same time, I'm thinking about if it's going to be unnecessarily harder driving a mountain bike in urban areas. Do you have any words of advice and potentially brands I might be interested in checking out? Thanks.

I ride an endurance road bike and I've been absolutely loving riding clipless for a year now. My first pair of entry level shoes have served me reasonably well but they have stretched out and no longer fit too well. I'd like to upgrade to something that fits better, has better adjustment, possibly a stiffer sole and I'm wondering if road shoes are the answer. 95% of my rides are on the road although I do enjoy the freedom of movement mtb shoes offer (in terms of the occasional bit of exploration / hike-a-bike / cafe stop without waddling around like bambi on ice with massive cleats etc). **Does anyone have any good recommendations for road orientated mtb shoes?** **Or, Should I just take the plunge and get some proper road shoes?** Is the extra stability, stiffness and power that people report with road shoes worth the trade off? (current pair are Specialized Recon 1.0) What are your thoughts? Thanks very much :)

Hello, I've been riding my 29" MTB with 700C35 tires (BH Peak 2014 or so), and I believe it's pretty decent. But I've always wondered how a road (or gravel) bike would be. My question is, how much better is it? Is it worth it to buy a low end road bike? Can't afford much more right now. The bike I've seen that seems to be best is the nuroad pro (a gravel bike, but the gearing seems good for me), but is already quite expensive. One bike that I've seen that seems to fit the budget is the Triban RC120, but I'm unsure that I can go uphill with that gearing, since I'm used to my MTB. What do you think? Does it make sense to buy another bike? I ride 90% road, 9% gravel, 1% worse than gravel. I do get in and out of sidewalks quite often. Not sure if that's a big no for road bikes.

Hi, Does anyone know what are the dimensions of the freehub body for the MTB vs Road 11-speed freehub body? Specifically the width of the spline section? Every single source I've found says you need a 1.85mm spacer for the road hub to fit a 8/9/11 speed MTB cassette, but no one ever mentioned how to distinguish between the 2. They just assume somehow everyone has 2 freehubs to compare, or that the markings on a 11-speed road hub won't get rubbed off. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I ride a 26 inch Kron Xc500 MTB, yesterday I did 145 km training and my average is 23 km/h. I can't buy a road bike because my financial situation is not enough, if I went the same way on a road bike, I could go with an average of how many km per hour, I weigh 73 kg. I don't know that you can't give a clear number, but can you tell me an average number, thank you.

Hello. I'm planing to go on an adventure involving 300kms riding a bike. I have two options: 1) Mountain-bike - Rockrider Expl 520 - a 29er, a bit heavy, 11V, hydraulic brakes 2) Road bike - Coluer Carbon Invicta - carbon frame, look spd pedals, nice material overall I don't know which one I should take. The MTB is very comfortable, but I will have to deal with some hills. The tires will allow me to go "off-road". The road bike is light and fast, but I just started riding it, and sometimes I get back pain. Anyway, I will have to apply a support on the back to take around 6kg with me. The trip is inside Portugal: from Lisbon to Faro. Cheers

Hi. I bought an MTB Marlin 6 Gen 2 6 months ago. After a while, I realized that it was better for me to use the paved trails between cities but the Drivetrain relationship is not enough to get good speed. These are the specs of my Drivetrain: \- Crank: Prowheel C10Y-NW, 30T steel narrow-wide ring, 170mm length \- Cassette: Shimano Deore M4100, 11-46, 10 speed \- Rear derailleur Shimano Deore M5120, long cage Can I change the Crank for one a little bit bigger? Could you let me know what you recommend?

Planning a ride with family on Virginia creeper trail this weekend 34miles up and 34 down (parents are renting a gravel bike or mtb as they only have road bikes) and I think I’m likely going to take my 27.5+ hardtail. Obviously my 2.8 in dhf/dhr are a no go. Option 1. Use my oem 2.8 wtb rangers. They are significantly faster rolling than the minions. Option 2. Buy an inexpensive set of skinnier tires. I’m limited by i30 rims so I assume 2.3in ish is the smallest I can go? Also rather stay in the 50-75$ range for the set. If I go option 2 does anyone have any good recommendations?

I recently bought a used silver frame Cannondale F400 26er MTB at $136. When buying I was just attracted by the look and the functionality of the bike during the test ride. It felt great. But with a very short experience in cycling, I didn't know whether the bike was worth the price or not. Neither did I know whether it's a vintage bike. I have now discovered that Handmade in USA Cannondale F400s are vintage bikes from probably the 90s. I am looking for a valuation opinion(post-purchase). Did I overpay for an old bike?

The title says it all. It was my first time on a group ride (15 ish people), but it wasn't really a group ride because the group was either very fast or very slow. So I was in the middle basically solo riding the whole time. During a descend, everyone was going down so fast, even the ones who were slow during a climb. Aaaand the last person was on a MTB, so I think I was the slowest one tbh... I know that the more I ride, the faster I'll get, but this group ride just killed my confidence lol. Everyone on the road just passes by me and the only people I pass by are the big, old men on flat bars going 5 mph 🤣🤣 Please tell me that I'll get better and faster 😭

Same old question which we get here twice a day. But maybe I will get a watershed moment on choosing the right bike. Returning to cycling and I need a new bike. But the problem is that my budget is limited and with that I can get a very good hardtail with Shimano XT equipment, Rock Shox Reba fork and hydraulic brakes or a gravel bike usually with Sora gear, mechanical disc brakes, noname wheels and hubs. And I can't stand mechanical disc brakes. For a gravel bike the leap to the next price range I'd like is about 300 euros more and closer to 1k. Instead of 500-600 euros I could spend on great MTB. I know the gravel bike would be more practical for me but I just can't justify spending now 1/3 more just because 'everyone rides them and everyone loves them'. But I haven't really ridden it or tried because I have no shop close to me or a friend who has a gravel bike which would fit my size. Wallet says hardtail, heart says gravel.

I have always been big into cycling, i have a scott 770 mtb and use it to cycle around the county (merseyside) but like to do longer range trips. i don’t really get tired but i know if i get a hybrid i could probably go much further at a faster pace. i use a lot of trails and often ride along the transpenine trail. would be open to more road cycling with a better bike. is it a worthwhile investment? update: the general consensus seems to be gravel bike. so i think i’ve made up my mind! thanks guy! much appreciated

I got a professional bike fit on a ReTul machine to help in purchasing my gravel bike (Aspero) and I'm very, very happy with the fit. Are the stack and reach numbers (to the handlebars) a good place to start for setting up my MTB? Should it be exactly the same? Is it generally a bit shorter/closer or higher/further? If it matters, I'm on a short-travel 29er and a hard tail and I'm generally riding trail / all-mountain type terrain, not an XC racer or enduro rider. Experienced intermediate, but this was my first pro bike fitting.

If I didn't already own a bike I would just get a gravel bike since it's very versatile and decent performer on both roads and light forest trails, however I already own a hardtail mountain bike - which I mostly use for short forest trails (feels too heavy and slow to do long rides) so I'm unsure what to do. I'd like to start doing some longer distances on the road and my mtb is out of question, so I either try to sell it for a low price and get a gravel, or I keep it and get an endurance one for longer road rides. Any suggestions? In case you wonder, I prefer the relaxed geometry and comfort of endurance bikes, especially for long rides cause I dislike the aggressive posture and fatigue road bikes give me.

Hey guys, newbie user and newbie rider, I've ridden for most of my young life, on and off road, for fun and commuting before cars and motorcycles were an option. I stopped right about the time I got my license, and the most cardio I've done since then is through my 9-5 job, I've had some demanding jobs, but am now in a pretty chill position, still walking at least 8000+ steps a day and doing weight lifting a few times a week. About 2 months ago I decided I should give my rust filled MTB that I bought about 15 years ago (I'm now 32) a half decent wash and some chain lube, and ride it a bit. I've been riding consistently and loving every minute of it, even the hard ones, and am beginning to see results in my cardiovascular and muscular performance/endurance (wich shouldn't be surprising considering my 10+year hiatus) and have officially been bitten by the cycling bug. Considering progressing to a road bike but not willing to pay more than 750$. I'm from Portugal and the used market on low budget bikes isn't full of opportunities, small country and all, so I've been considering either going to something like a brand new Triban RC 120 / 500 / 520 that range from 450 to 700$ roughly, or, going the even cheaper route of getting a BTWIN / older Triban used for 250 to 400$. Giving my journey what would be your suggestions? Any suggestions will be appreciated 👌 Sorry for rambling on for days.

Weekend warrior with a 15+kg/33lbs+ mtb here. Have read lots of differing opinions about the effect of a few kg/lbs on speed, including the much greater influence of cyclist position on it. I drop a number of possibly fellow weekend warriors of similar stature on their roadies half the time, get dropped by much more experienced roadies the other half, including one who wasn't in aero or cycling gear. From the looks of it it must have been a steel frames road bike too, so I'm wondering if a mere 4kg would make such a difference, since position is the most important. I wouldn't get a roadie just to get quick, i wanna get quick with my current setup and push my limits and find out how far i can get Tldr: does a 4-7kg bike weight differential make you that 10% faster despite upright riding position?

Hi all, Could you please explain me what should I consider when choosing a road bike? They all look similar after I apply all my filters. Let me explain. Currently I have cheap XC and enduro 160/160 full sus. I'd like to buy a road bike for \- everyday commute \- weekend short and long ( > 100km/60mi) trips. Short trips are doable on my cheap XC but I'd like to increase my avg speed and distances for \- travel between cities and long-long travels (\~300km/180mi) \- KOMs \- uphills \~ 4000 Euro / 4500$ full carbon, Di2 or etap doesn't matter... ...and then I stuck, they all look similar. What should be the selecting algorithm? **Geometry**. Should I go to bikefit first or are there some general numbers (as mtb has)? **Spare parts**. Should I google and compare all and everything like crankset, stem, tape, handlebars etc **Tires**. I heard that I need to have a fork for more than 28mm tires, but wider tires decrease avg speed... probably. Is it important in real life? How could I understand if I need wider tires? There are no plans for gravel rides. I have my XC and prefer single trails instead. So asphalt-only rides are expected. Sometimes it is a bit challenging to find max possible tire size for the fork. For example, TREK Émonda SL 6 Di2 and Specialized Aethos Comp - Shimano 105 Di2 look completely the same to me. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks ​

Hi everyone, I found a somewhat old Cannondale MTB recently in a garage of a friend which has been unused several years. I think it might be a M400, I know it still has the US flag stamped on but this is all I got, unfortunately didn’t take any pictures. In a few days I’m going to pick it up and will give it a try to see if it’s still worth repairing. Can you help me a bit on what I need to check? Some info: 1) It’s been hanging on the wall of the garage for over 10 years and hasn’t been moved outside. There’s no visible rust, even on the chain. Do I still need to replace it or is there a chance it’s ok? 2) Do tires get bad over the years? They still got good profiles but I’m worried the rubber might be useless by now. Felt okayish though, they are just flat so I’d get some new tubes for sure 3) It has hydraulic rim brakes. Is it enough to just check if they work by breaking hard a few times and eventually get rid of air in the system or does the breaking fluid need to be replaced after some time? Thanks in advance

I have an old MTB with 559-21 rim. Stock tires are 26"x1.95. I want to get thinner and lighter tires so I was thinking 26x1.0 or 26x1.25. What do you recommend? Plan to use mostly on roads and I want to convert my energy to distance as much as I can. Is 26x1.0 too narrow? I've read an article where it says 25 or 28 is ideal for 21 rim.

Doing a 50 mile MTB event in a week through some gnarly terrain with a goal to do it in 8 hrs (probably 6-7 of those hours on the bike, 1 hour in breaks at aid stations). This will be the longest ride I've ever done, but have been training and preparing for it. Wanted to get some opinions on the nutrition/hydration strategy. I'm using the 60g per hour guideline to pack a minimum of 420g of carbs in the following items: * Tailwind * Thinking I can do about half the nutrition with this, so 4-5 bottles with 2 scoops * Fig newtons * Stroop waffles * Sour patch kids * PB&J wrap I'll have SAG support every hour or so at checkpoints, so I can pack as much as I want really and resupply as the event goes on. I'm planning to do more of the solid food around lunch time, so maybe a few tailwind bottles in the morning, eat some solids mid-ride particularly the PB&J, and tailwind at the end. I've tried all these items in training/shorter events and have no stomach issues to date. Hydration wise, carrying a 2L camelback of plain water plus the Tailwind bottles. Just sip/drink every 20 minutes is the strategy, I'll be carrying plenty and refill as needed. Does this all seem realistic? Electrolytes is one thing I'm not entirely sure about, Tailwind will cover some of it but if I start eating more solids I may need to carry a salt stick capsule or something to supplement?
