Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 just asking why flats on a Rockhopper HT. I ride flats myself (purely because riding with flats improves your skill), but a Rockhopper HT is a very very very forward geometry bike. Unless you have crazy skills already, its going to be a tough ask to hop that bike with flats. IMO, if you have flats and can't hop and manual, then it kinda defeats the purpose...Lol. Read your first and last paragraph again... this is the very reason he should learn on flats. To learn how to hop and such.
rudi-h Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Lol. Read your first and last paragraph again... this is the very reason he should learn on flats. To learn how to hop and such.To hop with flats you need to be able to lift your front wheel with straight arms and without pedalling ... On a aggressive racing geometry bike, this is difficult because need to pull super hard on your bars to lift the wheel off the ground. Because you need to pull real hard, you have less control, which means that a lot of skill is a prerequisite... So what I meant is that if you don't have mad skills (can bunnyhop really high) already, it is going to be very hard to learn it on a Rock hopper HT. If you are not trying to improve skills, why would you want to ride flats? Hence, if you want to put flats on a bike, IMO you should put it on a bike that allows you to master the skill. Maybe a Cotic or an OnOne rather than a Specialized Rockhopper. Hope this makes more sense.
