Hi all,
I recently upgraded my hybrid to a Trek 7.6. I cycle on roads but they are mostly country lanes so there are lots of pot holes/rubbish tarmac hence me going for a hybrid not a true roadie. I also wanted to be able to ride the cycle paths with my other half so wanted to keep my options open. However, I currently still ride my old mtb with her on them because I'm just scared that my new Trek and it's skinny tires will be too delicate.
Am I being over-protective or rightly cautious?
We wouldn't be doing any mounting biking or serious downhill stuff just lesiurely trails, a bit of gravel, a bit of dirt - Taff Trail type of thing, if anyone is in South Wales for a reference. Can anyone give me any advice?
Cheers.
