Codham is part of the nationals this year - so not part of mud sweat & gears, but if you have a licence you can obviously 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

So I'm planning on having a go at this :wtf:

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?
