yes you're right, for cross country, he uses Romain's 26 with disc and not rim brake

Yeah, the results format could be better, like one overall list and then the different age groups.

For completeness, it's a KH. (Powdercoated by Darren Bedford).

Cool idea for a thread. I just got back to Oz from Europe so I can add to the list a little bit. I know Seisuke Kobayashi was riding a custom 26" disc brake muni with 150s, and what looked like a UST (tubeless) compatible rim/ tyre. Ken Looi's geared muni had 150mm cranks and a lightweight 2.2" tyre. I was one of the only riders in the top handful of people who competed with the exact same setup for all the muni events- and to be honest, i think apart from the muni obstacles comp (which lots of people treated like another trials comp and rode smaller wheels for it which was kinda cheating) i don't think my results suffered from it. It is nice to only have to take one uni and be able to compete at a high level in all the Muni events.

And one of the worst 2.3" tyres I've ever ridden. But it was light.

scotthue · 2012-08-20, 11:22 PM

Yeah, the tire was pretty awful.

Zzagg · 2012-08-21, 07:48 AM

I made the greatest expert downhill time:
2 hours and a half.
KH 24 (2004 edition) brakeless.
Needless to say I "walked" (or crawled) through 80% of the race

jogi · 2012-08-21, 11:00 AM

two hours more fun than most of the other riders

Zzagg · 2012-08-21, 11:34 AM

and 2 weeks of really painfull legs, then.

jaco_flans · 2012-08-21, 12:49 PM

OMG! I didn't even know I was fifth place in XC!

That's... CRAZY!

As Hugo said, I was riding a Geared 24"x3" for the XC race with a rim brake. My brake kept breaking during my trip, I repaired it with ShoeGoo for the XC race. It worked, but I was scared to use it too hard so I waited for the second lap to use it properly.
