|   Speed difference between a mountain bike and a road bike.... | kylebike
Sep 13, 2002 1:23 PM | | I am currently training with a mountain bike on the road and have not yet purchased a road bike. I plan on entering some races in the fall.
My question is.....how much faster can I go using a road bike?? Would it put on an extra 5km/hr? 10km/hr??? more??
Thanks |
