So now I'm stuck in the vicinity of my family home, my dad wants to do some mountain biking when it gets too shit out for the road stuff.
He's got some awesome something-or-other already. But his old MTB was given to my uncle, and not sure if I can get it back...
So if I can't (or even if I did)...
I'm wondering about these fixed or ss options on mtb. I appreciate my limitations with fixed/ss on the road/track, but on mtb I'm lost, except that fixed must be great for technical stuff, which I doubt he's planning (more churning out the miles on bridleways...)
Could a fixed balloon bike work I wonder? What ratios are you lot using?
