I don't know the one you mean but am curious now!

I think I know the one you mean and fancy watching it again, so +1 for that link.

Lovely, thanks 🙂

Great vid that, really makes you want to get out & ride (like all the best ones do!)
Love the soundtrack too. A bold choice.

Still one of my all-time faves.

I was expecting the Cotic 'late for work' advert but this is pretty cool also.
Love the green X... I have one of those parked just outside waiting for escape time... 😉

love it! Especially the interested dog.

thanks

my favourite cx video;

I like that..

Very tranquil with added skillz, enjoyed that thanks for sharing

Do they actually tweak the rules in cross country mountain biking to stop people showing up on cross bikes (and winning everything)?

Sometimes, they run xc races on actual mountain bike compatible routes, rather than just riding round fields 😉

I do like this one...

But you cant beat..

3 minutes of my life I won't get back...

It's quite fun but... It's a Morvelo advert, what are the odds of anyone watching it and think "Yeah I want to dress like those two fannies"?

3 minutes of my life I won't get back.

yup all i could think about was how much of an arse & time that must have been to make that vid in the first place

I thought it was going to be this one 😀

DBW and dickboy, I'm sure that's how people feel when they've spent three minutes with you.

Thanks for the link Surfer, a well spent three minutes. Most MTB events do mention no cyclocross bikes in the rules 🙁 but not all do, and now with 29ers it's possible to stick cross tyres on your 29er, which begs the question when does a cross bike stop becoming a cross bike, or when does a mountain bike stop being a mountain bike?

Thanks for that vimeo video! Just thought I'd got over the wanting a 'cross bike' and then you post this!

I've got 35mm cross tyres for my 26" mountain bike. to be fair, i don't find it any faster on a mountain bike course than with proper tyres on, most obvious difference/advantage over 2"+ tyres is on tarmac/concrete and wet grass. I even beat a few people on proper cross bikes last time i used them (grassy damp but not really muddy cross race) 8)

I did a couple of laps of the Bristol bike fest on my CX bike this year. it was about 1-2 mins a lap slower so it really depends on the course.

I've always thought the opposite- would a mountain bike be quicker than a cx bike on a cx race? I have no basis for that opinion 😉

First guy I've seen that needs a dropper for a cx bike
