Thanks for the replies – all interesting to read. I was so annoyed (I was going to say cross but that’s just even more annoying) and to be honest it’s put me off racing cx a bit. I’ve been enjoying having races to train for and not having to spend all day at events like some other different bike discipline races I use to do (works well with having a young family). I think I’m going to have an almost constant paranoia of it happening again!

Anyway, I now have the fun evening of bending things back into some semblance of straightness…

An umbrella in the workstand is inspired. I like that.

That’s just showing off 😂

Wish I had the luxury! Can I hide under your tailgate?

Yeah, I’m thinking that might be the way forward! Unfortunately I can’t guarantee support when the weather turns 😂

Thanks Davros.

On the Wiggle Q&A there is a question about whether the xx1 crank BB30 will work in a PF30. The ‘staff’ answer said it would only work in a BB30 but other sources seem to suggest it will be fine. I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be compatible.

So here is the guidance:

I actually have the crank (bought as the BB30 option – doesn’t seem to be a standalone PF30 version) but haven’t offered it up yet. In the box there is the large spacer but the ones highlighted in green (in the above manual) don’t appear to be included. The bb shell width is approximately 7.4mm

I was actually considering the merits of swapping the bb for a Sram DUB bb and then go that way. Any thoughts on that? Cheers

Thanks for your reply. The PF30 I have certainly appears to be flush, ie not outboard. The xx1 crank seems to be sold for BB30 with no mention of PF30 that I can see. I wondered if the spindle would be long enough
