Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

I liked the barrier with the stairs included. I found it hard to run from the barriers to the stairs without putting my bike down, but it slowed me down too much if I put my bike down between the two so had to push myself to do it on every lap. Was a nice challenge imo. If I'd had bunnyhops down it would have been a massive advantage too...

Disc 'cross frames with 142 x 12 rear spacing and 15mm fork spacing. Any recommendations? Budget around £1000 ideally.

that for frameset only? sounds a bit niche, maybe a Kinesis frame with a separate fork..
e.g.

Is that where CX is going? My MTB just jumped to 145mm at last upgrade, I think. So road is still 135mm, MTB is 145mm and CX is now 142mm? Are the axles all 12mm?

That's how my road bike is and ideally i'd like to be able to swap the wheels if need be

Road disc spacing is standardising on 142 mm, with 12 mm thru axles. CX spacing follows that.

Woah there, did you just suggest common standards. C’mon sunshine, you’re not that green, you should know better than that.

So that is who you slutted off with! Harumph!

He has a habit of turning up...

Ooooof.

jesus, not long now!

I know rite

Oh! And I suppose he is faster than me too!

He had a hangover.

Hungover and still faster :-)

He had a hangover

Dan always has a hangover.

Frylands anyone?

yup

I really wanted to give this a bash

Very annoyed I missed the 1st round which was kinda close to anywhere remotely close to London, all the other rounds seem to be closer to Brighton.....

Herne Hill is closer to central London than Leyton. I’d think there’s not much in it between Beckenham Place Park and Leyton too.

I'm supposed to be going. Will be late at this rate :/

Beckenham Palace Park looks just about doable.

Are you home yet?

as of about 15 mins ago. Sorry for holding you up :(
