So, very new to this sport. Have been riding on the road for many years.
Keen to get into MTB and went to the Pushys sale this weekend to see what's around. Really liked the Giant Trance 2.
Haven't spent any time on a mountain bike and when I took a couple of bikes for a spin around the car park they felt really, really big. The front wheel was a loooong way out front and my centre of gravity felt really high - I guess compared to my roadie. The turning circle seemed really big too.
The sales person put me on a size large and I tried both a 29er and 27.5. The 27.5 felt more comfortable of the 2.
To ride a MTB, do I need to re-learn how to ride a bike? I feel like I might fall off on my first bumpy gravel ride.
