Ryanpmb Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Ta muchly, Ryan! One question - aren't 700c the same diameter as 29"? Or at least the same ERD? Or am I a confused roadie!Correct. I stated 700C as they'd more than likely have rim brake services. Traditional 29r wheels will commonly be disc based.
Fat Boab Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Correct. I stated 700C as they'd more than likely have rim brake services. Traditional 29r wheels will commonly be disc based. Again, many thanks. Of course, you need somewhere for the brakes to cantilever on to! Doh.....
the nerd Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Can you use a CX bike for mtb races?? Not if it has drops... Flat bar that baby and go go go
Ryanpmb Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Can you use a CX bike for mtb races??I have a few mates that ride their CXs in our more 'dirt roadie' type races. Not sure what the rules/ placing/ points situation is. They're not really worried about that.

NotSoBigBen Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Not allowed drops on a mtb race... stupid rule.Is that a new rule? I only ask as a well known local Howteng rider rode the Walkerville Classic on his CX bike 2 or 3 years ago ......
Ryanpmb Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Is that a new rule? I only ask as a well known local Howteng rider rode the Walkerville Classic on his CX bike 2 or 3 years ago ......Yeah and Matt de Jongh rode his Cotic on Sani2c...

NotSoBigBen Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Having said that selective application of 'rules' would also not surprise me [emoji36]
the nerd Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Yep, its in the book apparently.. that being said the amount of tri-bars at 947 is enough to make you wonder about these rules...
Ryanpmb Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Having said that selective application of 'rules' would also not surprise me [emoji36]Or guys just ride and forego an official time. Would be interested to know if it's a recently implemented rule.
Monark Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I love my x! Was just sitting admiring it this weekend
gummibear Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Having said that selective application of 'rules' would also not surprise me [emoji36]Seems like it's up to race organisers to allow or not.
