They may be fine, but I would still prefer road shorts for alot of on off saddle climbing.

I use them for both mountain and road biking--they are not very baggy hence fairly aerodynamic for mountain bike shorts. I am still confused that some people think that they are undersized; I am 5 ft, 7 in tall and weigh 155 lb, wear a 32 in inch pant, and the smalls fit just fine.

would these tires be suitable for a mountain bike that I plan to ride only on the street?

Yes, they can be installed on mountain bikes. I think it'll be easier for them to be installed on mountain bikes compared to road bikes.

You probable won't to go with something that has more traction. This bike seems more designed for paved roads.

Most mountain bikes don't have the correct predrilled mounting holes for these fenders. Topeak Defenders would be a better option.

Yes, you should have no problems. The BVs are quite roomy. We ordered a couple of sets for a 350 mile bike tour from PA down to DC along the GAP and C&O.; They held up just fine hauling gear for a couple of Boy Scouts. Took a chance with the less expensive panniers, and thus far it has paid off.

I would not recommend that, it would be very awkward to start with and this bike was not built to stand up on. Handle bars would be far too low to be comfortable.You could try it but I think you would not like it.

It might be better to use one of shimanos models with a platform/sdp combo... If you don't get a good engagement on these there isn't much to pedal with.

For sure. Great metal pedals. Just make sue it is the correct size for the bike.

More than likely. I had a GIANT mountain bike and the pedals fit perfectly.

They will not work on a road bike unless it has wider tires say 700C X 28 and wider. For the mountain bike bike the tires would have to be narrow the widest there would 26" x 1.5" at the most. So some road bikes yes and some mountain bikes but not all of them. I hope this answer is helpful.

the tires on this bike are wide but they lack the deep treads like you would find on a mountain bike. I bought this bike for my mother who uses it strictly on the sidewalks and roads near our house, so i cant say for certain that it excels at tackling loose gravel.

Yes, I use the Viper for my two road bikes, one carbon frame and one steel frame. They both survived a trip across the country with no problems.

My feeling is that the ratiios are mediun and high. I use this bike for urban ride I'm very happy with the product.

I did but I think it would depend on the size of the bikes. It is tight with two.

Sorry I don't have a Trek. You might want to contact the manufacturer or your local bike shop. I can tell you it really rides nice and cushy!

That is the intended purpose of the mtn bike pedal. Although you could use them on almost any type of bike, as long as you have SPD compatible shoes.
