I'm only 22 btw, so can take a bit of punishment.
am I right in thinking perhaps the tyres being softer are going to hinder my ability to keep up with road bike users? The only reason I ask is this tourer going to be better compared to a mountain bike (with no shock)
ie. is the tourer going to be nearer the performance of a road bike, than that of a mountain bike?
I'm just worried that I might not be able to keep up with some of friends on road bikes? or find it a lot harder work? or is the difference not that great? (assuming generic bikes)
Thought I'd ask u guys as you know best from experience? also handles? with the dawes they have both types, which do you advise?
Thanks for help so far
