So I got into cycling to work on a foldable bike now I want to try mountain biking in my spare time can't decide between these entry bikes: Trek Marlin 5 Gen 2 Cannondale Trail 8 Specialized Rockhopper Gaint ATX Which one have you tried if any?
29" would be preferred as it has the least rolling resistance/ crazy speed urban biking. Always been a front suspension fork person, hardtail. But as I get older I find full suspension more appealing.
I did this and rode the heavy bmx thing for a few months, then rode my buddies 27 inch road bike ....and it just flew, it was just so so light now he's got a motor and batteries for it and he's getting fat ....lol cheers
So y'all prefer hardtail or full suspension bikes? I definitely am going with hydraulic disc brakes tho. Never had them before. However about the forks? How important is having full suspension? I plan to go lightweight bike camping up a local mountain and really just want a good bike for off road adventuring and, getting fit.
I used to bike like really often but after knee injury I am okay with gym only and swimming in the pool. To say that I am upset, yeah a little but swimming also a good thing to do. Moreover u will always be fit because the amount of calories which are burning during 1 mile of swimming ( read here more about that ) are fire for sure.
