SDW on a CX bike, rather you than me. I did it on a front suspension hardtail and my arms were shot at Alfriston.

good luck all

if you use frog legs type cx brakes as i did your arms and hands get the most pain as you can't get enough leverage to stay in control on some of the very step downhills and pick a good line. It can also get quite rutted in places and again lack of suspension is pretty tiring. That said it is perfectly doable on cx - i have ridden several times cx ss and I'm no athlete.

Define true? The wheel is doing well with well over 100kg on it, but I do need to get her sorted onto something else though as she is at or just over the weight limit for the seat. The trail gator and/or the ute beckon...

I found a proper trail-a-bike really good - very stable and my daughter got to pedal bit on the hills to help out.
