Wyatt Earp Posted October 5, 2010 Share It should be allowed as they put you on the back foot in any case :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimano 105 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Only allowed to race either a 29er or 26"Not a combination of the two.Apparently it confuses other riders and they do not know what they are up against.It unsettles them,when they have to race and do not know whether it is a 26 or 29 inch. :D :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretorim Posted October 5, 2010 Share From CSA's Website - SA-MTB Race Regulations:Section 1.9 dealing with Equipment:" 1.9.2 Bicycles must use a wheel on both front and back for all disiplines of Mountain Bike competition that is no bigger than 26 inches. Mountain bikes using two 29” wheels may now also be used." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No indication that both wheels have to be the same size. And, assuming you have c'd and p'd, CSA have spelt "discipline" wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edition 507 Posted October 6, 2010 Share I think a 69er is only legal between two consenting adults, although some countries up north still have laws against it particularly if your team mate is of the same gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted October 6, 2010 Share ag please, who's gonna stop you. MAYBE if you are a pro they will at you funny. There are no 26" or 29" racing categories so the statement "Apparently it confuses other riders and they do not know what they are up against" can not be made.
