Mountain Bike Vs Road Bike Wheel. Purchasing road bikes is entirely dependent on what the rider wants to do with the bike. And they can reach speeds way higher than that of a mountain bike.
Depending on the type of riding you do, the weight of your bike may or may not be very important. While a modern mountain bike puts the rider in a position that more easily allows the maneuverability of those wheels: a higher front end and rearward weight distribution mean the front wheel is. Bikes with larger diameter wheels generally feel more stable and cover ground faster, as they hold their line over rough terrain and roll over obstacles with less effort.
We are talking about the wheel-diameter war.
Tires are as important a part of all these.
They are also cheaper and more readily available. Everybody knew that they shouldn't pedal while leaning sharply into a high-speed corner. Riding a mountain bike on the road may seem out of place, but it's actually quite common.
