Tonkin demonstrated proper equipment selection winning the Bear
Springs XC last Sunday on a fully rigid mountain bike.

Rumor has it he was running 100psi and ate small forest creatures for
nutrition during the race.

I'm just saying.

It's bad enough trying to keep up with the hard tail vs full suspension

game. Some seem to be considering cross bikes as a reasonable addition


in the mix.

I just want to be sure that what comes to the line is there for the

duration, good, bad or indifferent.

IF I remember right you are allowed to switch during
endurance Mt Bike races only, NOT regular XC races.

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?
