Prior to Covid ‘mountain biking’ was the only form of cycling I ever did for enjoyment and have a big squishy bike which is the perfect tool for the job and was out about 3 times a week.
However, I also have one of those steel singlespeed ‘track’ bikes that were real trendy in about 2010 with hipsters which I commute on. However, I’ve started pulling it out for some quick road rides as I’m not able to do my other social activities and turns out there is too much mtb if its the only sport your doing. It’s good fun on short full effort blasts but would really want some proper gears for full day road activities.
I enjoy the excercise but not the biggest fan of roads and theres loads of gravel/dirt/easy-mtb-trail-but-too-much-road-in-between-to-bother-doing/back roads where the mtb would be way overkill which I’d love to explore. However, It has 23cc tires…. Will fit up to 32cc – is it as simple as smashing some on there or will be geomotry be awful for it and it would be a waste of money? Some times the wrong tool for the job can be fun but maybe this would be a step too far
