hayleyearth Posted September 27, 2013 Share I have never done an XCM/XCO race (and don't think I will), I prefer to challenge myself with the much longer XC races (which require a bit more comfort anyway). Hmm, perhaps a change is in order then. but but but some xcm races are like 85km and xcum's are like 120km.... how much "longer" do you want them to be?

TopFuel Posted September 27, 2013 Share but but but some xcm races are like 85km and xcum's are like 120km.... how much "longer" do you want them to be? My mate and I like to do events that are >150km. Suckers for punishment I guess. I didn't realise there was a catergory of Ultra Marathon. I though marathons were +- 60km. And I don't like to ride those. Cool, my point still stands. Thanks for the advice guys, and gal.

Flowta Posted October 1, 2013 Share "Stock" it will look like this Yellow must go. Maybe use some plasti-dip spray so you can just peel it off when you sell it again, because with your track record it won't be long. Those the wheels you'll be running???

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 1, 2013 Share Also you going 26" or 650B? He's going 650b in 130mm guise with the pike up front. But. He has a monarch to switch it out with for France. Correct, crowtjie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe use some plasti-dip spray so you can just peel it off when you sell it again, because with your track record it won't be long. Those the wheels you'll be running???Still debating the wheels. Fan of I9, but am yet to make up my mind.Also you going 26" or 650B?650b. Will go 26" with limbo chips and my Monarch Plus for Morzine to bump travel to 160mm.
