I rode a Cannondale f7 and a Trek 7.2FX. I like how easy the Trek was, but when turning I hit some sand and the back tire slid. On the Cannondale mountain bike I hit the same sand and was fine, but it is much harder to get the bike going. Just not sure what to buy.
I have a Giant Boulder SE 26inch mountain bike that I currently use ocassionally, however I would like to start using it on my 5 mile commute to college. Is it possible to make this bike more road friendly by changing it into a hybrid bike and if so how would I go about doing that?
Could you put hybrid wheels on a trek mountain bike? Would it have close to the same performance as a 7000 hybrid? How much would it cost to do it? Thanks.
