Checked out a few Mountain Bikes but they feel sluggish compared to the thinner tires of my merida.
Advice on bikes to check out that can handle a bit of off road along with being quick on paths?
Looked at a Giant disc 2 along as well.
If your spokes keep breaking that is an indication of poorly built (by a robot) wheels. If you like the bike, why not just have a qualified person fix your wheels? It's probably just a matter of increasing and evening out the spoke tension.
