Hi y'all
Recently I've been looking at adding a road bike to my collection, for the simple reason to clock up more K's during the week through 1 hour rides along the bike way and also commuting. Mainly for fitness and just the love of riding. I live 30 mins from the closest trail and by the time I head out there and back I would lose to much time in an arvo or morning (before/after) work.
I currently have a Santa Cruz v10 and also a Yeti SB6c, both being gravity/ enduro bikes they don't pedal as well on the road and therefore I lose interest in it.
My question is, what "Parts n Stuff" would make for easy mods to the Yeti to make it more road friendly. Its relatively light, has an air shock so I can lock that out, fox 36's which as easy enough to harden. Something along the lines of tyres, stem and bar combo (will putting weight over the front help?) gearing? (currently running XX1) any ideas much appreciated.
