380Lb Beginner!
Hey - I’ve been browsing on here quite a bit and have decided to start riding bikes. A friend who is an avid cyclist has explained that a decent mid level beginner hardtail mtb will probably work well for paved trail riding until i can shed some weight. I am looking at a Trek Marlin 6 and wanted to see if anyone else started on one? Im well aware i will probably pop a spoke in the back of the wheel sooner than later but hoping it is still a good choice, and i can spend the money to have a heavier duty rear wheel made. Thanks for your help.
