Curious, and I realize that Chris, back then, was exaggerating to
make a point: but question to y'all: at what point do y'all draw the
line? I mean this in two ways:
1. Where do *you* draw the line between a "road" bike and a
"mountain" bike? What would an Atlantis be? A Sam Hill? Suspension?
Drop bars?
Knobby tires=dirt/mountain bike. Simple as that for me. I prefer "dirt
bike" to "mountain bike" since one can ride in mountains without
touching dirt or ride on dirt without being anywhere near a mountain.
2. And, more important, where -- what terrain and conditions -- do
you, personally, (y'all) leave the sub 28 mm tire'd, drop bar'd bike
at home and take out the other one?
You couldn't pay me to ride sub 28mm tires! My bikes generally have
the fattest tires that'll fit the frame. It's mostly a matter tread
pattern.
All paved: slick tires (Hetres, cypres)
Some dirt: I like a little tread (Trimline, col de la vie)
All dirt: break out the knobbies.
