Thank you so much for your advice and warnings.

My original LBS lowered the inner ring of the front cogs a little bit.

This helped some, but still occasionally derailed at the bottom of the hill. I now brought it to another LBS who checked out the problem and agreed that it derailed a little bit too easy. The second LBS said that they would either adjust the front derailleur or add a chain catcher/deflector.

Also, you are all correct that my hybrid does not handle mud or loose gravel well. However, most of my MTB will be on packed dirt and my hybrid seems ok on that.

Also, you all did help me confirm that MTB tires will rub on the back end of my hybrid and not fit well.

Thanks, thanks, thanks!
