Should a 270lb man get a mountain or road bike? |
any suggestions for a bike that would hold a heavier person easily? Either, depending on the intended type of riding. With the weight, you're not worried about the frame breaking. You should pay attention to some of the components. You should get "double walled rims" - they make them for mountain (26") and for road (700cc). you should also stay away from square tapered bottom brackets if you decide to go with a mountain bike. This means the spindle that the crank arms slide onto are square. You want something splined. good luck Source(s): work in a bike shop get what ever you fell is comfortable, it also depends why your riding like if your going mountain biking you would need a mountain bike a 270lb man should get a harley or mountain bike. a road bike would not hold him at all. A 270 lb man should first get a treadmill. Lose some weight and then go cycling. No offense, I'm pushing 300 lbs myself. And I know that any bike ride would be very uncomfortable. I prefer the couch. It depends on what kind of riding you want to do. You can get either type of bike with a sturdy frame and well built wheels. A well built road bike is a lot stronger than a poorly built mountain bike. As long as you stay away from the ultralight racing stuff, you'll be fine. Try sumthing with a motor, I recently saw a large man on a moped, he seemed to be moving good. |
