I’ve posted on the xc racer site a few times.

yesterday I posted a sale ad in the sale section.

today it has been deleted – AS I DID’NT POST MY RACE HISTORY 🙄

I DON’T HAVE RACE HISTORY!

Apparently you have to have actually raced xc mountain bikes before being allowed to post in the classifieds????????????? 👿

they can go to hell now – I’ll not go or buy through that website again…in fact I’ll send an e-mail to the shop on there (I’ve spent a few hundred quid on) and explain to them why I wont be buying through them again too!!!

Admin reply sounds fair, bit more protection than you get on ST classifieds.

I reckon it’s a good idea. The buyer knows they are buying a real person that rides…..it is called xcracer though, so if you ain’t an xcracer then what’s your problem?

I reckon it would be good if posts on here were substantiated with race positions, miles ridden per week, or similar – it would be especially helpful when quantifying quality of advice.

This is the only thing you need to qualify your posts round these parts:

one of the reasons of buying an expensive kcnc product was there high resell value through the xc racers forum.

or maybe nob size in the case of some 🙄

I flipping love that dog…

Always been more of a spaniel man myself…

I have a spaniel for sale….you got any dog racing history though?

I tried dog racing once, needless to say the dog won!

either

a) check before making expensive purchases that rely on resale via free classifieds with a published set of rules there to protect buyers?

or

b) go and do a race?

Have you done a sportive 😉

Why not try an xc race op? you don’t have to win, just enter the easiest cat on offer, then race. It’s a crazy notion, and it involves riding a bike, but you might enjoy it. Then you will have a race history and can continue buying new parts based on their re-sale value to xc racers. Otherwise their forum, their rules.

What about that race you did in Utzikabania, I thought you came 3rd in your class?
What I’m saying is can’t you lie.

Dammit – oldgit beat me to it (but not in a race stylee)

Isn’t the point of the system the fact that you can check back on race results.. and see that the person actually registered and exists..?

I remember an infamous self-styled freeride superstar that came unstuck on here after his alledged race history was discovered to be fantasy..

I don’t excelent tell me more 🙂

I’ve watched that dog running for 5 minutes now – but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Is he still running when i scroll down the page and can’t see him, or does he take a breather? I’ve tried catching him out by popping back up quickly, but he’s still trotting along 😕

By six minutes in a TT stylee.

that should have been ‘self-proclaimed’ as well as self styled..

Was that pre hack?
