Mountain Bike on the Road?

[margo49]

Right on ladies!
If you're out there riding you're one of us - that really sums it up.

The other thing I always telepath to people who I think are laughing at me or my Trek 820 is this: You obviously don't know what I have done and been through and overcome to get to this point; because if I told you would fall off that oh so smart machine with embarrassment and get those fancy clothes all dirty!!
I think that a lot of cyclists who you see on the road have had a long hard ride to get to the moment that you see them; and to paraphrase Lance "It's not *only* about the bike"

However, the idea of changing tires, etc...wouldn't it be easier (if not cheap) to have entire wheels to change out instead of just the tires? Or is that what y'all mean when you say change the tires?

That would be the ideal! It was more complicated in my case as I had disk brakes and would have needed extra rotors and disc hubs which at the time were much more expensive than rim brake wheels. Two sets of wheels would give you the best of both worlds.
