Best cyclocross bike under £1000 and other CX chat

It would but there is no hole for it :(
Plus its kinda like ABS.
I never realized that riding a cross bike is so good fro your arms, after an evening mtb ride on it I had serious arm pump and on more than one occasion thought my fingers would break as i was pulling the levers so hard

Having to pull the levers that hard doesn't sound right. Sounds like a break change or setting them up differently is required there!

I can stop very quickly even on the hoods with very little pressure needed and in the drops (which is where I am 90% of the time off road) it requires even less effort.
