Marin Roughride advice
handful
Posts: 920
I'm getting roped in to riding in this in June but don't know whether I'm going to regret it!
My concerns are mainly around my fitness and ability although I feel better about that after doing both loops at Penmachno on the weekend in strong wind and rain, and my bike, GT I-Drive ID5 :shock:
Would I be biting off more than I could chew trying to do such a long event on what many would describe as a 'chunky full sus? Don't get me wrong, I love the bike and it was fantastic at Penmachno but obviously pretty different type of terrain on the Roughride. Would a change of tyres from the fitted Ignitors help much? If so any suggestions that would work with the I'Drive would be much appreciated.
