Hybrids

[Ge4orce]

I would like to know if there are any other cyclists on the hub who ride a hybrid. Please give your specs,post some photos or just anything you have to say about hybrids. I personally ride a hybrid as I have problems with my wrist after an operation so I have pain when I ride a normal road cycle because of the bend of the bars.

I don't but there are quite a few that do. I know Geddan Rudock had a good long run with one and put a lot of roadies to shame in road races. If it works for you, keep with it. The pain is not worth the image.

I rode an Avalanche Mistral Hybrid for a few years, deore set up with 28c wheels, for weekend rides it was great. Our club has a few guys that ride them.

I have a Trek 7200 FX, good bike. i still want to make a special project of this bike, ten speed, light wheels and some carbon goodies.

I built mine up to ride in traffic with,i get very nervous riding between buses and trucks.

Weight is 7.9 kg's and it handles very well even at 70km/h on the down hills.

Well worth highlighting.

What pain?

[Ge4orce]

What pain?

He is referring to me when I said that my wrist pains too much when I am riding with normal handlebars.

Just figured out how to post a picture properly so I added my photo again so that it displays correctly. Mine is not as nice as Gummibears' hybrid but it still rides quite nice

I was just wondering.

What shifters are you using?

[Ge4orce]

The shifters are deore and the rear derailleur is deore LX

I was hoping to get some 28mm cyclo-cross tyres on but i don't have enough frame or fork clearance.

[Ge4orce]

That's a pity. I am also thinking about getting cyclocross wheels as where I currently live I cannot train on my hybrid and my MTB sucks so I do not enjoy riding that very much.
