As for CX bikes... BC rules say no

2.0 THE BICYCLE

2.0.1 BC in no way wishes to stifle the natural evolution of
the mountain bike in any recognised discipline. To this
end there is only one requirement; that the bicycle is
solely human powered. Any bicycle used in
competition must be capable of safely and efficiently
completing the task and must, as a minimum, be
mechanically sound, have efficient brakes on all
wheels and all reasonable steps must be taken to
ensure the safety of the rider and others. As part of the
latter, bar plugs are compulsory.

2.0.2 If, in the opinion of a scrutineer and/or commissaire, a
bicycle fails to meet the above criteria the rider must
take immediate steps to ensure the necessary steps
are taken to remedy the shortcomings and ensure the
Scrutineer/Commissaires requests are met. Failure to
do so will result in exclusion from the competition.

2.0.3 For Four Cross an effective rear brake is required.

i'm not sure they do?

I remember Mark Thwaites smashing the West Yorkshire Summer Cross to bits on his Yeti ASR.

Likewise, Scott Forbes on a 26" Whippet blasted around our [url= http://www.spamwinterchallenge.co.uk/ ]SPAM Winter Challenge[/url] last year coming in with a good time-gap over a chasing pack of CX riders. That course with lots of gravel tracks and a fair bit of tarmac would be ideal for CX bikes I'd have thought.
