GemmerKat Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Do anyone know what is the fastest time for the 94.7 with a mountain bike with normal mountain bike tyres ?

Sorry Gemmerk@t -hijack here I'm always amused by this bit on road race discussions -"mountain bike with normal mountain bike tyres ?" have seen mtb'ers replacing their front forks with rigid forks, removing shocks, completely replacing their chainrings, groupsets, putting on v-brakes - basically rebuilding their bikes for roadraces but F$%$^! don't touch those knobblies because then it is not a mtb anymore - one guy I know even imported featherlight paperthin knobblies from china that won't last a kilometer on an actual trail but at least it's knobblies!

Was just curious, as I took my mountain bike as I was using for mtb events for this year 94.7 race. Made no changes at all.

The lengths people go to to claim they scalped a Roadie. Must hold roadies in greater esteem than MTBers give them credit for
Long Wheel Base Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Do the ride 4 sight a few weeks before CTCT and see if you do a sub 3 there. Bar a mechanical or serious wind your times for those two races should be a few min apart.
