Changing my bike for different terrain
I live and ride in Phoenix, AZ. Lots of mountains to ride, and some nice, rough terrain. I ride an Ellsworth Id which I absolutely love.
I'm moving to Chicago next year, and most of my riding will be in forest preserves and such.
The Id is too much bike for that kind of terrain. I don't want to get rid of it though ... So how can I make it adapt better to the terrain I'll be riding?
- Riser bars, get rid of them?
- Go for a shorter travel fork
- less beefy wheelset?
Any ideas, suggestions?
