Gear Talk / MTB tires

« on: August 10, 2008, 05:58:31 pm »

Hi All,

Need some advise on some tires for my MTB.  I'm looking to ride my MTB in some weekend charity events and some two to five day tours and want to get more of a road tire .  I still want to get off of the beaten path once and awhile but will mainly stick to the pavement.

Thanks

Gear Talk / MTB for touring

« on: June 09, 2008, 11:24:06 pm »

Hi all,

I'm 61 years old and a newbie to touring and bicycling in general.  I would like to do light touring such as two to seven day trips, I'm not a light weight and it has been suggested that I should consider a mountain bike frame.  I have acquired two older bikes and need to know which one would be worth the effort of turning into a bike I  can use for touring or maybe neither one being worth it. The bikes in question are an early 1990's Giant Iguana  and a middle 90's TREK 800 sport single trac series, both are in pretty good shape.  Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.  Thank You
