GothicGhost Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I'm looking at getting this bike for country dirt paths and gravel paths. Would be this ok for that job?

GiantKiwi Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Not particularly no. Those are usually intended as a casual road rider. You will need something more MTB focused, mainly for the wider track tyre and more robust frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicGhost Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thanks. I bought this one in the end I think it will be ok I hope lol. https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Giant-Escape-3-2017-Hybrid-Sports-Bike_97557.htm Did not fancy a MTB as even a £350 hardtail forks did not look good in the reviews.

alex90 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 get some second hand forks and rebuild them what I did paid £30 for some Manitou minute pro's and spent about 30 on oil and seals and they some of the best forks iv owned and I do a fair bit of off-roading and jumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
