Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

@Amey: I may have some file treads you can have.
Unless your buyer genes got activated.

@moog: IC is serious/not serious. You want to stay left for the hand ups.

@Amey what @andyp said.

For Incredibly Cross tonight chaps! Entry is either £2 or 4 beers. We will be passing the beers back to you during the race ;)

Poo about Hog Hill, ,,, Ive bought an old school crosslight 4t. , complete with frogslegs, twister tyres, extra handlebar brakes( very confusing) and 9 speed cassette guess i will just have to ride the mountain bike course up there,,,,

ah fuck, could've got them .. was on jury service all day so though I'd order before leaving from bike24 .. they were £16 each. Folding conti cyclo X king. Pray for me.

They're good for racing on.
I only punctured 4 times when I rode to Canterbury via the pilgrims way on them.

incredibly cross unfortunately not happening to due park busybodies

Using social media against us, how dare they..

I was surprised park wardens still existed in this age of austerity.

Thanks to those mysterious 'organisers' at Incredibly Cross for trying. I've no idea who they are though.

Well my Hilarious Plan of buying special brew for the handoffs has backfired a bit. What do I do with the stuff now?

Man up?

Chill it. Drink it over ice.

make beer cocktails at your next bbq/dinner party

I could tape them to the underside of park benches.

Why?
Drink it you fanny.

Take them to the next forum tramp beers. I think there's one on Wednesday next week.

[edit: London fields at 6pm]

Keep them cold and then bring them on this ride!

Just currently building a CX bike up, and was wondering what the best rear mech would be to go with DA shifters.. Ultegra good to use with just one ring up front? Or should I look into the Gevenalle BURD?

105

Rear mechs break in cx so go for something that is cheap to replace.

Can you use MTB rear mechs with road shifters?

If you're single ringing, I'd go for something with more tension (like the BURD).

MTB / Road not compatible for Shimano. No clutching mech option exists for shim road.

Some Shim road mechs can have the springs tightened up - someone else will know which ones!

not shimano. sram you can.

on a related note - do mtb mechs survive mud better than road mechs or does it not make any difference?
