They may be fine, but I would still prefer road shorts for alot of on off saddle climbing.

I use them for both mountain and road biking--they are not very baggy hence fairly aerodynamic for mountain bike shorts. I am still confused that some people think that they are undersized; I am 5 ft, 7 in tall and weigh 155 lb, wear a 32 in inch pant, and the smalls fit just fine.

I am very pleased with the hill climbing ability. This is in the pedal assist mode. I weigh 193 lbsVery very pleased with bike. Rm

Yes but i would prefer doing larger cycles with legs, the peddles being not long enough. I am not using much this bike anymore having recently bought a Diamondback bike which is better built.

If your riding in a pretty trash free environment you can expect over 2000 easy, but I ride in an area that usually forces me to retire a set due to cuts before they wear out. But they are smooth and good handling over all. Good for climbing, less to push with more pushing..

I run Michelin Commanders on my '02 Road king, front and back, on tubeless mag rims and love them. Bike handles great and get upwards of 10,000 miles on the rear and better than twice that on the front.

hello, i often ride 20-30 miles a day in good weather, i changed and customized my overdrive for my style of riding, a comfy seat, metal pedals, a more street friendly tire. A note though, if you plan on adding a rack and bag to the rear in in for a challenge as there are no braze on's to attach anything to. Fugi makes a nice 29er with 30 speeds, and Haro was my 1st choise but i didn't like the guy selling them.

You can do anything, but why would you want to put on rough riding MTB tires? And where would you ride a tandem mountain bike??

I found the cycle pro to be sturdy and well made. Additionally, I think the placement of the feet in the right way (level, solid ground ect) I think it would be right for a mountain bike.

Yes. I use these on my MTN bike. They are very nice pedals. I can run to the store or just take a ride and not have to clip in. If your counting grams then maybe you should be looking for something different.

No, these are made for mountain bikes so these would not be good choice for a road bike.

I bought a pair of 26 x 2.0 tires for a folding bike. They wud work on trails depending on the style u want.

Yes, I use the Viper for my two road bikes, one carbon frame and one steel frame. They both survived a trip across the country with no problems.

I'm not aware of any of the bikes you are referencing. The key points to this bike that some others don't feature are a thicker durable frame for rougher terrain, the amount of gears, the double suspension, and the full sized wheels.

For sure. Great metal pedals. Just make sue it is the correct size for the bike.

the tires on this bike are wide but they lack the deep treads like you would find on a mountain bike. I bought this bike for my mother who uses it strictly on the sidewalks and roads near our house, so i cant say for certain that it excels at tackling loose gravel.

It might be better to use one of shimanos models with a platform/sdp combo... If you don't get a good engagement on these there isn't much to pedal with.

This style and actual bike would be a good choice. It should be manageable in terms of weight versus size.
