Show us your cross bike!

It’s that time of year and I’ve yet to see a similar thread. Just taken mine out for its first ride. Bring on cross season!

Here’s mine:

In cross mode

Mines not cross, just a little upset.

Needs more better forks, will be putting a wtd in the classifieds soon.

Tried it around blue scar at afan.

29+ monstercross, such a hooligan and stonkigly fast

It does look fun Taz! Why have you kept the dangler on?

Here’s mine, couple of notches down on the monstrosity scale. Going to be losing the gears when the shoulder’s good again. Just a turbo bike at the moment. 🙁

It’s a cross bike, but didn’t get the memo as it’s still in road format…

My race bike before it got ridden in anger.

Some crackin’ bikes, it looks like discs are the popular choice.

Mine, although not used in anger yet 😳

Upgrades inc Schwalbe X-ones, tubeless, on hope hoops with a Carbon force 1 crank and a direct mount oval 40t ring.

Just swapped the tyre for Specialized Sawtooth.

So many nice bikes here! And I have never ridden cross in my life.

Not strictly a cross bike – but… heaps of fun & quicker than than me.

One of my pair just after it was built, with tubeless training wheels in:

In action last week, race wheels in:

That Crux is lovely, exactly what I’ve got in mind for a build.

Except the seatpost…

Except the seatpost…

Try one. They’re very good.

Oh, and skinwalls FTW!

I guessed they’re pretty good tbh, must have some positives!

What’s the thinking on thru axles, front only or rear as well if you can get it?

Fancy building something up soon but struggling to find a frame that ticks all the boxes…

Here it is on a long spin round the moor;

Here’s mine, used for commuting only really, doesn’t get to go off-road as CX bikes are shit on my local stuff. That crux is nice, but skin walls make me want to shit on a kitten.

Here is mine, built up the other month!

Blimey, you went for a small frame then?

Yes I did, was a bit unsure to start with, but fits really well, better than a XL frame sizes I have had before.

Here’s mine, into its 2nd season now

Have only had this a few weeks, have already picked up a second set of wheels for road tyres. Have also put some not so nice scuffs on the chains after a particularly muddy off road ride last week!

It might be a CX bike, but it doesn’t get used as such… It’s awesome fun on the local MTB trails!
