I am just contemplating this option of commuting in September.
My MTB is a Trax Front sus from Halfords. I got it in order to use as a Hybrid but I felt that it would be too heavy and I wouldnt be able to keep a good speed on it (I currently average about 14/13mph when I need to get about 16/17).
The main thing I would have to change are the tires (current cheap nobbly ones) to something which is more smooth. But what else would I have to change? I have a mudguard set on, and a computer. I have the possibility of attaching a pannier to the back.
Is a MTB really suitable for travelling 17 miles in one hour in all weather?
