Hey all,
I am currently using my old hardtail with Nimbus (26x1.5) tires. But the bike is in need of serious rebuild and i am instead thinking of getting a new ride. While i was first thinking of a touring style bike, i really like the idea of the long bike. Like the Kona Ute. My only concern is with how efficient it is on 1-2hr rides.
My commute is from clairmont to downtown San Diego, 11miles. there are only a few hills, with the biggest leading to my house (500ft vert over 0.5 mile). It currently takes about an hour for my to commute, and since starting it again 2 months ago i already feel much easier.
Thanks for any input!
