Is it better to convert a road bike or a mountain bike into a commuter bike?
I want a bike that I can actually use for transportation. My road bike is very light and 3-4 mph faster, but my mountain bike already has flat handlebars, sturdier, and has disk brakes. ...but converting the mountain bike makes it worthless in the dirt since switching out rims is not easy with my bike (Cannondale Lefty Fork).
Additionally, I would like to keep the mountain bike ready for daily dirt riding w/o switching out tires constantly.
No bad answers here. I think you are the one that knows your commute better than us. If your roads are in good shape for your commute, you can put on some heavier and a little wider tires, making sure they will fit on the road bike. You don't have to have flat bars and it is costly to convert to them. You could buy a shorter riser stem to get the bar up and closer to you. If you have really nice wheels on you road bike, you may what to opt for studier, cheaper and wider rims.
If your roads are in poor shape, the MTB would suit you better. Changing out the tires is one option. I change my wheels out on my MTB for this type of riding. Since I don't know what it takes to change a wheel on a Lefty I can't say it's easy. But is it that hard? If you really want your MTB ready to go changing tires takes time too. Just commuting on your knobbies will wear them quickly. I'd still go with a 2nd set of wheels with 1.5 slicks on them.
