They may be fine, but I would still prefer road shorts for alot of on off saddle climbing.

I use them for both mountain and road biking--they are not very baggy hence fairly aerodynamic for mountain bike shorts. I am still confused that some people think that they are undersized; I am 5 ft, 7 in tall and weigh 155 lb, wear a 32 in inch pant, and the smalls fit just fine.

Hand Climber, look into Long Wolf or Ol'Man sit n climb if you want those. Takes a bit longer and generally weighs a bit more but if Sit n Climb is what you want, come up with $400, you can get them with a coupon on here for about that.

This wouldn't be a good rack for a road bike, its more on the lines of mountain, hybrid bikes. I don't think 2 inches would fit, unless u know how and can make modifications.

It's probably better suited for long distance riding than mountain, but if your going that far daily you might want to look for more of a road bike. I hope that helps.

It might be better to use one of shimanos models with a platform/sdp combo... If you don't get a good engagement on these there isn't much to pedal with.

If your riding in a pretty trash free environment you can expect over 2000 easy, but I ride in an area that usually forces me to retire a set due to cuts before they wear out. But they are smooth and good handling over all. Good for climbing, less to push with more pushing..

I bought a pair of 26 x 2.0 tires for a folding bike. They wud work on trails depending on the style u want.

Yes, but most people here would recommend changing out the treads for something flat. The mountain bike treads will add to the noise. It is already pretty loud, but it will become industrial machine loud.

No, these are made for mountain bikes so these would not be good choice for a road bike.

I run Michelin Commanders on my '02 Road king, front and back, on tubeless mag rims and love them. Bike handles great and get upwards of 10,000 miles on the rear and better than twice that on the front.

Poorly. That's what I bought them for. Mountain bikes are too heavy especially a downhill bike. They fall over easily. Good for a light road bike or kid's bike.

Most mountain bikes don't have the correct predrilled mounting holes for these fenders. Topeak Defenders would be a better option.

Yes. The difference between mountain and road pedals is in the shoes they are compatible with, not the bikes. Pedals are standard across all bike types.

would these tires be suitable for a mountain bike that I plan to ride only on the street?

You can do anything, but why would you want to put on rough riding MTB tires? And where would you ride a tandem mountain bike??

It depends entirely on the grade and your fitness level. I used to race bicycles for a living and I can hande short moderate grades on this bike. But I would not want this bike on a long steep climb. As always, your mileage may vary. If in doubt go for a bike with multiple gears. Going overgeard on a hill can put a lot of stress on your knees.
