Dragu Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Hi hubbers, My son Kyle Britz is at the ETA College and decided to do his research project on the difference between doing the CTCT on a road vs mountain bike. Can we please ask your help to complete a short survey at this link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KSPZQ39 Its completely anonymous. Any other comments or feedback will be greatly appreciated!
xcd Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 It is a no brainer..... ROAD ! How can you even compare riding on a slick 23-25c tyre and a mtb tyre. ( surface area) Let alone - pumping a road tyre to 8 bar and a mtb to 2 bar. The weight and angles of the bike. I see your questions are more related to age and personal information but anybody on a road bike will do faster times. Old saying ! ( the less the friction the further you go ) Good luck with your survey but I think better marks would be got from a better topic.

Give said student a break. Words of encouragement may go a long way to getting this person through there studies, researching topics they enjoy vs crap you're usually forced to do.

It is his first indeed, sure he'll learn a lot from this and get much better.
Yusran Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Done. I know my dad prefers to ride the Argus on his MTB. he has done it on his roadie once, but as a recreational/weekend rider trying to ride fast, when the fatigue hits you the easier gears and upright and stable position on a MTB are your savior. Grinding up Suikerbossie on a road bike when you have nothing left in the tank is no fun. So for a not-serious cyclist like my dad, the MTB is weapon of choice. For me its roadie ALL day long no problems, so light, such speed, many hand positions. I love my bikes.

I've done it on both and totally agree, for racing there is only one option - road! But when i'm out to enjoy the day with full road closure and very little training, then the MTB is my best friend!
Dicky DQ Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Done, for me the cost of MTB tyres is just too much if used on the road.
Ferro Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Done. Dont know whether im much help though. I slapped a MTB cassette onto my road bike to make the climbs easier. Hope it doesnt mess with your data. Good luck with the survey. Cheers
