Are cheaper bikes better for us
Well, within reason of course and talking about stock equipment for bikes.
Why I ask if because more expensive bikes look to be designed to be lighter possibly decreasing the load they can take. The best example are probably wheels, in general when you get more expensive, you get less spokes. Other components are also lighter.
Me, I'm consider a new bike - well I always am and always have a wish list. But I'm someone who just wants to buy something that works off the shelf, I just want it to work. I don't mind replacing something if it breaks or I find it just doesn't work for me. But I'd rather not have to fiddle with components too much otherwise.
So, is it possible that cheaper stock bikes can actually be better?
Or would you put a weight limit of any stock bike, whether entry level or carbon feather?
