Speed or comfort ?

Post by ton »

200 tough miles to ride
2 bikes to choose from
Both comfy as heck over long distance
1 has narrower tyres and is a bit faster
Other is comfier all round. Wider bars and tyres.

The younger me would have said pick the fastest bike but nowadays, comfort wins :-bd

If the bike is comfortable and you’re siting comfortable, (I personally believe) you’ll go quicker

Always comfort. The older I get, the less of a hurry I am in to get anywhere.
I'm just going outside ...

If they're both comfy enough, then I'd let terrain dictate.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Comfort for sure as per what others have said. YD roads, particularly the single trackers, can be pretty rough.
