Just wondering really, pretty much all of my winter midweek riding is on the road, I just ride my normal hard tail scott fron forks locked. My logic says the extra drag etc. just helps to build fitness.
Is their any benefit to going faster over a longer distance for the same amount of time on a lighter road bike. Would still want relatively big road tyres as the small devon lanes can be a wash with leaves, sticks, mud gravel etc at this time of year.
I am not in a position to spend much on a second bike but could possible put together something cheap from second hand parts.
