Subject: [OBRA Chat] Bike change during MTB events?

Since cross bikes are legal for MTB events I was just wondering what the
OBRA rules say about changing bikes during an MTB race. Say the first
bike has a "mechanical" during the course of the event and the rider
"happens" to have a spare located nearby.
Can the rider finish the race on the second bike?
