Mountain Bike vs Gravel Bike vs Cyclocross Bike
Hello,
I am thinking of buying a new bike for off-road use, mainly on a gravel pathway but thinking of maybe doing some cycling in some wooded areas that can be a bit muddy, especially this time of year.
Based on the above could you offer some advice as to what type of bike would be most suitable.
My budget would be between £500-£700
Thank you

Thank you all.
Just a case of doing some more training I think and building the stamina up.

Keto Diet and Cycling Fitness
Hello,
Has anyone tried the Keto diet which I believe is high fat, moderate protein and low carbohydrate and just wondered what impact this has had on fitness?
Thank you

<SNIP>
In terms of skill, I've done a few sportives in the past about 50-60 miles and one time trial. Other than that I do leisurely local rides that are about 15 miles long.

Re: Would new wheels really make a difference to my speed?
Thank you all very much for your advice.
I have Continental GP 4000 II tyres which I bought separately they didn't come with the bike.
I am 6' 2" and weigh 95KG.
Sounds like I just need to put the mileage in and then fitness and speed should naturally improve. Interesting what has been said about ride position and aerodynamics playing a big part in this. The engine is in for Winter maintenance at the moment
Do you tend to get lower back pain if you ride in a more aerodynamic position? I would say my current riding position is halfway between totally upright and completely flat.
Thank you

Would new wheels really make a difference to my speed?
Hello,
I have the bike shown on the following link:
https://www.giant-bicycles.com/gb/2014- ... ced-2-2014
Would it be worth my while paying for some new wheels if I would like to increase my average speed? I am considering joining a cycling club and might start doing a few time trials when the weather improves so just wanted to know if it is worth investing money.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
