Nompson Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Hi All, I am on the fence on purchasing a new bike and I can only choose one because of lack of $$. In the last couple of years I have been saving up for another bike and was leaning towards getting a road bike. This would be my first road bike. Currently my mountain bike front shock is not locking out and probably needs to be replaced. Since the price of a decent shock will cost the price of the value of the bike if not more, it would probably be better to just buy a new one. That being said I am curious to know which way I should go? Is it better to give road a try and begin saving for a new mountain bike, or continue to be curious and save for a road bike? I know this is MTBR and the answer might be obvious, but I am sure many of you ride both and was hopping to hear from those who do ride both.

Smithden Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Tough decision. I have both...and if you're going to ride road only...I'd get a road bike. In my area, we some good road riding right out the front door. Riding my MTB on the road just isn't the same. https://www.bikethesites.com/mountain-bike-vs-road-bike/ Edited March 10, 2023 by Smithden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
