Used hardtail mountain bike with good front suspension. Swap tires to 1.25. Add a sprung saddle instead of a stupid seatpost for comfy cruising. And learn how to use the general next time.

You can ride 23c tires on shit roads with a fucking steel frame with no issues and have a comfier ride than a low end walmart full suspension bike that hit your spine every bump.

But this is /n/ and people will say 90s mtb from ebay.

Can someone explain me this? Like, how thin must a steel frame be to bend in a way that allows more comfortable rides, or a 90s tbm frame would already suffice?

I ride a Trek Checkpoint ALR 4 with 28c tires wherever you can go. 2 years ago I even rode a Btwin Triban 500 with 25c tires wherever and also in winter.

You'll gain more comfort by having your bike fitted to you with a great saddle than putting on suspensions everywhere.

Signed in just to post that OP is a retard but then I saw this retard too >>1331448 >>1331728

Obviously he knows nothing. Riding 23 mm tires at harsh conditions is just retard. Even shitty front suspension makes riding curbs or pot holes >9000 times better experience than any fairy dust coated steel frame with some silk casing. You'd average about 30 km/h with good and comfy hybrid bike while on road bike that would be 31,132 km/h. And anything over 30 km/h is pretty much illegal on bike paths with any traffic.

So don't listen to these autist faggots OP, they're more retard than you are.

Sure, call me retarded.
I'm just saying you don't need suspension on your bike or huge tires to make your ride extremely comfy. Most people buy whatever bike they can find with suspension on thinking it will make the ride better and then ride it and keep getting back pain, neck and wrist issues.
Everytime I bring up road tires in the same post as being comfy theres a backlash. People brake 'around the world' records on 25-28c tire steel frames all the time.

you are right. All types of bikes have been getting wider tires in the last 10yrs. Wider tires have 4 benefits that apply to both mountain and road bikes.

1. Wider tires take out road vibration without adding much weight/cost. This will make any bike feel higher quality and reduce fatigue.

2. Lower psi in the tires. This gives you better control over rough trails/roads. This also means less pressure is lost overnight/between rides. Even new road bikes are moving to 35c to even up to 45c.

3. Wider tires have been known to have less rolling resistance than thin tires for 100yrs. It's only now that bikes are being made with this in mind.

4. Stronger rims/tubeless. Since the tires are wider the rim/wheels dont have to absorb as much vibration. This will make your rims stay true longer as they don't have to account for vibration/comfort. Wider rims and tires on road bikes can also be converted to tubeless. No more pinch flats.

If you are uncomfortable riding your bike start with the seat, then look new wheel option(tires or completely new wheels), then go work on the bars/stem/pedals.

marketing is a dangerous drug anon

never let them take over product design

in all seriousness the downtube primarily holds the fork close to the seatpost, so in theory you save a lot of weight replacing it with a cable

Wider rims and tires are better in nearly every way. Why would you be upset over the industry moving towards better tech?

Gravel bikes aren't road bikes

Only when using the same pressure. And if you run the wider tires at the same pressure you lose the comfiness benefits everyone raves about. Also wider tires are not as aero.

There are 2 or 3 main factors at work here.
1. suspension doesn't improve comfort. it's there to improve traction or prevent you from going otb if you hit an obstacle
2. walmart suspension doesn't work at all
3. steel frames (and forks) soak in vibration. they won't help if you choose to ride over potholes, but they're great at absorbing regular road chatter. if you ride a rigid fork over small bumps, you can look down and see the front axle move relative to the steerer/handlebars - this is the material "working"*, taking up the vibration instead of transferring it to your wrists and ass
* not applicable to aluminium

what this guy says, wider tyres only have less rolling resistance IF you run them at the same pressure as slimmer tyres. But if you do that they actually ride harsher (tested it myself) than slim tyres so it takes away the main benefit of actually running wide tyres and thus making them pointless.
