test1. What is the difference between an endurance and performance road bike?
Endurance road bikes prioritise compliance and comfort over speed, but by no means are they a slow bike. Designed for long days in the saddle, resulting in a bike that absorbs all the small road bumps and causing less fatigue to the rider. Another benefit of an endurance bike is the ability to run wider tyres with frames typically being designed for up to 32c compatibility. A road performance bike on the other hand is designed for maximum speed but does sacrifice some rider comfort. Generally speaking a performance bike geometry puts the rider in a low and aero dynamic position resulting in a faster ride, but does require a level of core strength to maintain position and avoid back pain. The other large difference is frame stiffness, which results in a faster more responsive bike, but takes away those damping properties an endurance bike provides. For more information about getting the perfect road bike for you, contact your local My Ride stores.
2. Should I buy a dropbar or flatbar bike?
Flat bars provide you with a generally more upright and more comfortable riding position. By creating a more relaxed position on the bike making flat bars perfect for a road or hybrid as a commuter option. One drawback that comes with flat bars is the lack of positions. A drop bar provides you with multiple hand positions. You can ride on the bars, the hoods, or in the drops. The ability to change hand positions provides relief on longer rides. As well as comfort drop bars also have a better speed advantage by putting you in a more aerodynamic position and are better suited for tucked positions. However, this advantage only really comes into play when riding above 25kmph, which is something to consider. Whether it is a commuter or a road race bike, contact your local My Ride stores to find the perfect bike for you.
3. Should I buy an alloy or carbon bike?
4. How high should I have my saddle?
Saddle height is very important to ensure that your comfortable and to prevent injuries when you're riding your bike. The general rule is that your leg should be almost completely extended, with a small bend in your knee. When purchasing your new bike, your local My Ride dealer will be able to ensure that your saddle is setup to the correct height.
