I just bought this Iron Horse Sage bike. Is this a good bike?

It's called a Sage by Iron Horse. It has a Shimano shifter, and it has wheels that are flat in the center for road cycling. If I put mountain bike wheels on this, would it be acceptable for mountain biking?

Roger... Iron Horse has several current World Champions, so don't exactly know what you mean by being "watered down". Yes, they now offer MORE bikes, but the Sunday is still the premier DH of all time.





Anyway, the Sage is a comfort bike, so the components and frame are made for on road and groomed/paved trails. Putting MTB wheels and tires on it will not make it any more of an MTB but MIGHT make it weird to ride.





I would never recommend that this bike be used for off road riding outside what I mentioned above- it just won't take the abuse and the suspension isn't intended for MTB.
Reply:Yeah, I used to have the same one.


It's a great bike with a nice flexibility.





And yes you did a great job putting that, it should be acceptable i guess
Reply:It's ok... You probably could have found better buys. Over the years Iron Horse has gotten wattered down, they seem to be moving away from the real riders. But enjoy and ride.
