I’d like to keep both bikes if I can get them to where I can ride them without pain .
Im going to try reversing the seat post on the Roll .
The Rockhopper I bought because I love my old Hardrock and wanted an updated version and figured I could raise the bars and Swap out the tires for some Maxxis Hookworms and be set .
I wound up having to cut 2” off the seatpost to get The seat low enough my legs weren’t straight when at the low point peddling . With the 29” wheels it still feels like I’m having to climb up onto the bike .
I have a new set of 700 wheels I’d bought for the Schwinn that are disc compatible that I could mount some 700x40 tires and use on the Rockhopper. I think that should lower the height of the bike some , maybe enough to where I don’t feel like I’m sitting on a perch riding .
I hate to loose that much money on the bikes .
