General question for seasoned travellers
How many of you would say a trail bike is essential for North to South America..or in fact for other long routes...I see here that any bike will do comes up a lot but will you get stuck often or does using a road bike mean you just take different directions to get to the next town....
Is the ground clearance that important on a trailie or is it that the forks and shocks will absorb and cope much better with bad road conditions....
Trail bikes tend to be lighter I suppose but will being lower down on a road bike give you better control when you can put your feet down for stability...
Has anyone done a long trip and changed bike for the next trip and what were those bikes and reasons...
Lots of questions but my time is drawing nearer............................
