F111 Posted September 6, 2013 Share I own a Scott spark 940 MTB and want to get a road bike because we also do a lot of road races. What will be the best carbon vs alloy? or must I carry on just riding with my MTB fitted with slicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazshell Posted September 6, 2013 Share Carbon if you've got the bucks or find a deal on The Hub. Just make sure the components are decent. Shimano 105 or equivalent or better. PS. Whatever you get you will upgrade before you can say Ultegra. Edited September 6, 2013 by Dazshell CASSIE1975 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmic Posted September 6, 2013 Share 29'er with slicks is a sin Nope, it's a few levels worse than a sin. If you have the cash, carbon... Does not only weigh less, but gives a smoother ride as well. (Less road vibration). Edited September 6, 2013 by jmic TK-Sp3cialiSt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madlight Posted September 6, 2013 Share The prophets of doom have said that after prolonged and hectic braking some carbon clincher rims can overheat and delaminate.... but carbon looks oh so cool..... who cares if it explodes when you go down Mt Ventoux?.... Carbon tubbies if budget isn't an issue I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted September 6, 2013 Share  Its better than feeling like a tool when you ride your knobblies on the tar Knobblies are like nipples, the bigger the better and you should never feel a tool when using them  Jewbacca, ChunkyMonkey, Mopkop and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted September 6, 2013 Share Knobblies are like nipples, the bigger the better and you should never feel a tool when using them Eish bro.... I like you analogy but hubcap size 'knobblies' are not cool. I prefer my 'knobblies' little and pert. OP, if your friends make you ride on the road get new friends.... mrbaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
