[/QUOTE]No matter wath type of bike you have you should feel comfortable on it. If your MTB was horrible on the road for one hour it will be worst on the dirt for one hour. That's why you should select a proper bike geometry for you body and riding preference from the beggining. Then make fine adjustments to fit the bike properly.[/QUOTE]


Gotta disagree with ya there bud, at least in my case. On the road, with a MTB you don't move around much and I find it uncomfortable after about an hour.

Off road on the same MTB an hour is no problem, as i move around more, standing, sitting, leaning, frequent stops, etc.

Both my mtb bike and road bike (both Marinoni) are custom made, so they fit.

If you like a MTB on road, great! All my best, have fun, be careful, etc. If someone is finding neck and wrist problems then in my experience a road bike would be an option. Or try road bars on a mtb bike....?

Just MHO.
