I had the newsletter today looks good might not book them all after last years misfortune

Hmmmm good stuff.....

Will enter afew of these

No Thanks

When I asked, From BR

I'll enter some of them, too.

If the Codham park is part of MSG series then we can race their.... No!!!

Or am I reading this above wrong???

I reckon we can race we usually race around the national points set up don't we ?

The way it reads you'll need a BC license to race there:(

Yep we did this year I'm sure. I think it works like the points here are counted towards the nationals and not the MSG total...

Think the hadleigh race was one

HI.
Not a problem I HAVE A LICENCE . Ha ha Ha ...
But that is all I got.
There is a story for why I got one but that is for another day.
They are is to get .

So I'm planning on having a go at this

I've got a bit of a noob bike question... not that I think what bike I'm on is going to make that much ( if any ) difference but I thought I might as well ask

I've got three options...

456 evo

Or my much heavier Hardrock 29er, I'm just waiting on some new wheels for it so that should help it a bit.

But I've got 2 options for the forks on the 29r... stock Suntours with 80mm of travel that really only seem to show about 25mm of travel anywhere but Wales.

Or a set of rigid carbon forks.... these would be 2kg lighter than the Suntours......


TLDR:

MSG, 29er, rigid forks... really stupid and will I die ?

PS... the reason I don't want to buy Rebas or similar is that I need a straight steerer for the Hardrock and these cost more than the tapered steerer that the next 29er frame I buy will probably take...

Out of interest, what does MSG stand for?

Are those all racing events?

Mud sweat and gears
All Xc races normally 4-6 mile laps

Ahh i see. Cool name

I like the sound of that. Thing is i cant drive and they are all far away.
