My experience with putting slicks on mountain bikes is that you wind up with a pretty nice riding bike, but the gear ratios are a bit low.

as to whether you should, people have been putting slicks on mountain bikes to make commuter and utility bikes for 40 years now. It’s a better trick on a Hardtail than it is on a full suspension. Hard tails, especially general-use ones that don’t cost too much, have a lot of friendly features like rack mounts, fender mounts, extra bottle mounts, and other places to put things. Full suspension bikes are usually awkward with no mounts for anything, no space for frame bags, and front shifting kind of a mess. They are only really good at being mountain bikes. There are some that are better than others depending on their suspension design and overall things have gotten a lot better in the last 10 years but that’s still generally true.

i’m kind of confused about your bike because so far as google knows, the last time Cannondale made a F2 was in 2010, not 2020
