matt~black Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I have a few questions but didn't think it worth a whole new topic on the matter I've recently started cycling to work and have a circa £250 mountain bike which i have since put road tyres and a smaller rear chainset i now average between 14-15mph over my 26miles a day commute i took it into t bike shop a while ago to have a spoke sorted and he said once you start getting over 30kph (which i do alot of the time it's mainly big hills that slow down my average) i should start thinking about some more aero dynamic handlebars so i've ordered some of these but my question is how much faster can i go with this bike is there anything else i can do to it or should i just save up for a decent road bike does a road bike make that big a difference if i do go for one it'll be the best i can afford as i had a £400 one about 7 or so years ago and it broke everytime i rode it up until the day a car ran me over on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
