Luke Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Good on you! I do XC mtb every Sunday. About 20-35 miles depending on time and conditions. When it's as wet as it's been it is really hard out on the wilds. Where is the event and how long is it. Do you do alot of mtb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHA Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think my build will be close to 10 as well, but the pedals have to be added to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've found not much difference between 10 and 11kg bikes. Strength in your legs and endurance are what counts Just don't go balls out in your first race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strength in your legs and endurance are what counts Just don't go balls out in your first race! Yeah I suspect at that weight it won't be much of a differential. The endurance is the current issue, but all being well September will be a breeze (and if it's too hard I can stop halfway as it runs past my house!)
