i have a cannondale v500 bike. it is a mountain bike (it has mountain wheels and tires on it) i would like use it as a road bike. that means putting road wheels and tires on it? can that be done?
Answer
While you can't put road wheels on it, you can do what many other have done. Putting a set of narrow 26" high pressure slick road tires. That is a simple and economical way to give your bike a big boost in speed for the road.
Your bike will never be as efficient as a road bike but a couple guys in my club do this and can stay in the pack on rides. If you will still ride off road it's best to get a nice light set of MTB wheels so you can switch out wheels quickly. I do this for tooling around town, riding with the kids etc. even though I have a road bike too.

Wheres a good shop that has cove bikes? If i cant find this bike what is a similar freeride hardtail thats good for all mountain?
Answer
@I: Are you thinking of some other brand? Cove is based in North Vancouver, B.C. In fact, I live almost within shouting distance of the shop! :-) It's just a couple hours drive north across the border from Seattle.
@mtb kid: Probably the easiest way to find an authorized dealer in Seattle is to phone or e-mail either Cove headquarters in B.C., or their U.S. distributor (Empyrean Distributors, based in Arizona). See the links below...
