Ge4orce Posted July 7, 2012 Share 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.

Dicky DQ Posted July 7, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted July 8, 2012 Share I was hoping to get some 28mm cyclo-cross tyres on but i don't have enough frame or fork clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ge4orce Posted July 8, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
