UCI Published the World Cup calendar finally. There are no US dates for the first time since 2015. Another nail in the coffin for cross in the US I'm afraid. https://www.uci.org/pressrelease/the-uci-publishes-the-calendar-for-the-2024-2025-uci-cyclo-cross-world-cup/7nI2itfBU4tvbcVl1AJx4n submitted by /u/rounder720 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I know it's a CX bike but I was wondering would this bike be comfortable for longer rides, gravel rides and bikepacking? There's one in my local used market for a fair price and looking to buy it for my GF to upgrade her from her hibrid bike. submitted by /u/kike_flea [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Race in texas, Drone shots from the course So my question is what tires that 40-50mm are cyclocross cable an can allow more flexibility with the bike? Thr last two years I've raced on a set of specialized sworks terra 33mm. Great grip on turns an off camber, but way to much tread for dry grassy course. No mud, only 10 meter sandpit, but the course is defined by it location. Raced at outdoor velodrome the key technical feature is punchy climbs that preceded by speed stealing off camber switch backs. It was great to learn on to gain confidence. Want to have more flexibility with my bike dur ..read more

Has anyone made a cheap city bike converted to SS CX? I have zero budget, and keep seeing Retrospect, SKU, State 4130, etc. used on CL/FB for $100-200. Throwing on drops and brake levers, and 33c CX tires.. Is this an option? I know there's lots of variables that have to align to make this work, like SS dropouts and enough clearance for brakes & tires.. Am I wasting my time? Or is this a thing? Or should I look towards Motobacane Uno? I rarely see anything used under $700. Located in Philly area - I know availability varies by location. I haven't considered anything that needs shipping si ..read more

I work in a bike shop, and this carbon 2017 Boone with carbon wheels, cranks, fork, and seatpost came through for a consignment sale/swap event and got posted for $600. It didn't make its way into storage before I'd purchased it. 1x11 sram rival, TRP cantis. submitted by /u/Sara5A [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

After checked the rim & brake on last post. I use the bikegeocal to measure the bike size and fitting. And I find the old CX frame has slightly lower stack than the endurance road bike I have. The frame is size XL in 58 seat tube size and if I added 5*10mm spacer on, there is still about 38 or 33 mm lower on handlebar position. The endurance road bike has also 50 mm spacer and 15 mm from the stack of upper cup. I always use the 70 or 80 stem, a bit shorter than default. The inseam and standover is okay, 40 mm higher than upper tube. Is it normal? Or I'm just short arm. LOL Do I need t ..read more

So I’ve recently gotten into cyclocross but I cannot figure out how to train. Do you train in empty fields? How do you have obstacles, do you make your own or do you have a track near you? All I have are empty flat fields with no variation, so how do you train hopping barriers, shouldering and doing a run up, remounting on hills, etc. Where do you train and how. What do you train? Do you train anywhere else or any general environments that you recommend for training? I find that doing basic things are very boring on level fields. How do you solve this? I can’t find any clubs near me but that ..read more

I just bought a canti brake CX frame from the flea market last month. I plan to fit 33 or 35 mm tires on the frame, and maybe 1x build. Could you kindly guys give some suggestions about the rim brake wheelset or the rims? What inner width rim do I need to fit 35c tires? I prefer the alloy rim, and I can find the sunringle venus or the alexrim on LBS, Any others recommendations are very welcome.
