Hey guys, so a bit of background on me. I am an experienced roadie: put in on average 10,000 km per year, take part in sportives such as Haute Route, & place top 10%. My current road bike is a 2015 S Works Tarmac which I ride fully slammed.
I lived in Geneva 2011-2015 & returned to London last Sept…..only to confirm that I didn’t like it here as much as Geneva & I am heading back there to live permanently in 2 weeks time!
When I lived before in Geneva I always regretted not doing more MTB riding. I did it once (forest, fire roads) in Czech Rep with the family & really liked it.
So now that I am heading back I decided to take advantage of a sale on in Evans Cycles & bought a Trek Fuel Ex 9.8 (2016). Bike looks great. Position feels good & is comfortable to ride (with a huge amount of seat post showing). However, I am thinking that as I probably would like to do events like this http://www.eigerbike.ch I got a bike that is a bit on the “downhill” side. Should I try to take it back for a different bike?
Many thanks!
