I have a Cannondale BadBoy 700. Which is basically a mountain bike frame with 700 road wheels and slicks. I use this on the road and on cycle paths / towpaths.
I am looking to try my hand at mountain biking once i have built my stamina up a bit more and was wondering what to do.
(1) Should I just got out and buy a mountain bike. OR
(2) Should I buy some front suspension forks (with a lockout for when i ride on the road) and a set of mountain bike wheels and tyres? So i can swap them around. (How easy is this on the rear wheel btw.)
I obv don't want to trash my bike and am worried about the ground clearance etc on my Cannondale Bad Boy. Any ideas, points of view appreciated.
Cheers.
James
