Locally this is true, there are quite a few MTBers out there, and they might have an advantage on the very muddiest course, but even there there's enough run-up and roadway to set the MTBers back. I exploited the rules to build a "mud-proof" bike with 29er CX tires, an 8-speed gearhub, disc brakes, and a flat bar (drop-bar ends are in the mail). The performance results were inconclusive (rider was fat), but the bike has proven quite enjoyable to ride CX on, and has convinced me that cable discs, resin pads, and bad weather do not mix. I'm planning to upgrade to metallic pads and hopefully hydralic calipers. But your mudracing plus fours were a big fashion and practical success.

We may call each other Dumbass, but it's actually much more civil here than it used to be.

Is that French for circle jerk ? |
