It is wonderful at it.<BR/><BR/>I meant a <I>hardtail</I> mountain bike for experiencing the trails a little differently and putting the Xtracycle on. The Heckler is great, but it would not work at all for an XC. Suspension is their enemy.<BR/><BR/>I actually got passed by a guy riding a Cross Check with flat bars and CX tires today. Those are sweet bikes--almost got one instead of the LHT.Lazy Bike Commuterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186544907063119814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678184048449773605.post-31061563216281696322008-05-26T20:27:00.000-04:002008-05-26T20:27:00.000-04:00You "have" a mountain bike...get some cyclocross t...You "have" a mountain bike...get some cyclocross tires and put them on the LHT! It would probably be fairly decent for windy single track...not really ideal but you could do it. Could probably even handle some mild rocky stuff :-)<BR/><BR/>If I go grocery shopping I try to break it up into multiple chunks...but there are a couple of stores on my way home from work. So rather than letting things build up, if I need something I get it that day...lots of small trips rather than one large one.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work...and ya, you need to get some pictures on here! Let's see that LHT loaded down!Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254658915863334705noreply@blogger.com
