I build wheels for stuff like this, have done stuff like this, and your questions about doing this make me wonder how you define mountain biking as there is riding a mountain bike... and then there is RIDING a mountain bike.
If you look at my sons Mountain Bike wheels, those are bullet proof. I do not like taking my
my bike to a lame park where I'm just riding trails. I choose a Hybrid because there are
so many better spots close to my house, I am starting to like road riding though..
, Have
to ride like 5 miles to get to most places, then trail ride, ( and then push my Hybrid to much ).
I have been commuting to town, and then just plain road rides. I'm getting older, but can
not help the thrill of a 2 second drop, that gives you. And am loving doing 30 miles on the road. I would not even try it if I did not think it would be safe, the 6 foot would be a little
reckless, and thats why I settled for 4 and half. ( Safety ) We all know our skills. I knew I
could do it, just didn't want to bend the rims...
