IH8MUD Posted June 12, 2014 Share Surely the most efficient bike could/should be used?How will they define "MTB"?Take a Specialized Stumpjumper HT and put dropper bars and CX wheel set on . . .. its not a CX bike.If they say NO dropper bars . . . . take that NINER Gravel grinder and put a raiser bar on it.. . . sorted. Why have in issue with someone on a CX bike if nobody will object against someone on a downhill bike or a fat bike?

andydude Posted June 12, 2014 Share Not so sure about CX bikes, Alex Harris clearly stated bring a MTB. MTB is a very wide category. I'm sure I can argue that a CX bike is a subtype of MTB! I like that niner gravel grinder... even seems cool to commute and to jump on sidewalks, sidestep taxis, take shortcuts across parks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8MUD Posted June 12, 2014 Share IF you have the budget for the MUNGAMake the CX bike comfortable. Then take that Niner Gravel grinder or simmilar Fit the light Rockshox RS-1 and a comfy flat or raiser bar and light carbon CX wheelset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted June 12, 2014 Share As far as I know in UCI regs the only specifications for MTB races is that no traditional road bars or tri bars may be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Karma Posted June 12, 2014 Share As far as I know in UCI regs the only specifications for MTB races is that no traditional road bars or tri bars may be used. Wonder if the 36One race was UCI regulated? http://www.oudtshoorninfo.com/news.php?action=view_index_article&id=475 Clear use of tri bars on this 'Dale, I recall this was a category (relay men) winner as well.
