Thanks :-D That's the only one I got, and it's a good one.
I love MTBs, their versatility is unmatching, but damn are they slow! I used to go 18km/h average on my old Merida, now I have Rose Count Solo 2 and I get some astounding 24km/h ๐
Is it the gear range that mainly affect the speed? Have to ask as the only bike i ever rode is 20inch wheel heavy as heck bmx and currently a folding bike ๐
The gear range, the tires and the weight.
