I'm trying to get my son interested in cycling and against my advise he insisted on buying a mountain bike. Not unexpectedly, he can't keep up with me on the road, particularly going up hill. Even down hill, he's peddling while I'm having to freewheel/brake to keep to keep from overtaking. His bike is reasonably light weight for a mountain bike (it’s a Claude Butler Stone River), there's a good range of gears and his saddle is set right, so my assumption is that the wide wheels/tyres are the only thing holding him back. Would it be a good idea to get him a set of road wheels/tyres for the bike? and if so, would this make a significant difference?
Thanks,
Shaun.
