Mountain Biking Bc
What upgrades can i add for my V2100 Genesis Mountain Bike?
Im in the young 20′s 5″11 or 6’00 weigh 210-223 ride 8miles coming too wrk going to wrk i take the city bus. to the point i feel that the bike itself is not as fast pace as i wanted to be so what upgrades or changes can i add to make the speed of my bike go faster threw black pavement (roads,streets, rockcs potholes, robbers, and side bumps)???
Thanks bc, i feel like returing the bike
Thanks SoccerRef your answer helped me very much. I see in that case, ill use my road bike then but, im going threw pave roads and bumpby roads but, i get your points however. Thanks for the best informative detail..
You stated – “Thanks bc, i feel like returning the bike.”
If it was me, that’s exactly what I would do. If the bike is still within the exchange or return policy of Wally World – take it BACK — NOW! Get a full refund. Terrible commuter bike. Sorry to be blunt. Just stating the obvious. See 1st link down & the bad reviews. I’ll just number things…
#1) A real full squish (full suspension) bike starts at about $1,500. 2nd link.
#2) The extra suspension parts alone weigh the bike down. A heavier bike takes more effort than a lighter bike.
#3) Suspension parts also eat away or detract from the rider’s efforts. With every turn of the pedals, part of YOUR energy is absorbed into the bike & into the suspension parts instead of going to the rear wheel. This is why a pure road bike & most performance hybrids have no suspension.
#4) On a cheap full suspension bike – you bounce down the road more than ride down the road.
#5) As soccerref pointed out – knobby tires vs. smooth tread tires.
I could go on & on…
At your height & weight, if you want a bike with suspension, I would suggest the Marin San Rafael Hybrid Bike on R.E.I.’s outlet web site. Got one of their stores in your area? MUCH better ‘commuter’ bike. Wally World does not sell real bikes. If other R.E.I. stores are like the one closest to me – excellent shop & service.
