Made my first "100 km ride" last Monday! Kinda proud, so I wanna share ๐Ÿ˜Š. 112 km, 5.5 hours total, cumulative elevation gain 3800 m.

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 ๐Ÿ˜„

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 ๐Ÿ˜…

I'd say wheels might be the most important of all, you can even improve your speed significantly without putting in any money just by increasing their pressure
