I was thinking about hitting a couple MX races this year, I used to race it back in the day and had some good results... I was just wondering if there are bike setup rules? I'd be running my rigid single speed DS1, but it does have 2 brakes, do you think that'll fly? Oh it has dual 26" wheels too.
Mountaincross Rules (US and Canada)
- Thread starter How
- Start date
26", 3 working gears, 2 working brakes.
I don't think you'll have any problems...if anything some will say it puts you at a disadvantage...D
yeah but like many rules I have never seen them enforce the 3 working gears rule....D
You really want to use a rigid bike?

Just ride...they got enough problems to worry about than your lack of gears-I seriously would not worry about it. Only way you will get told something is if a competitor rats you out. Tell the UCI/NORBA Commissaire to go ride your bike, that it has an internal shifter that changes based on pedaling pressure...they will either be too old to actually ride it or too dumb to realize you are full of crap.

This is Mattiod, at ETSU last year...
24" rear wheel, singlespeed and one brake

The single speed will be a problem once you beat some prick and someone protest. If you just want to race, go for it.
that was last year thanks to Cowan he changed up the rules it is now MANDATORY
GSR hooligan, planet x bommer, kona, or K2 brass monkey?

Yep, i would be the first to get protested too !!
Screw it, i'm building my Haro Werks DSR tomorrow & was also continplating the same exact thing !
I'm going to have 4 gears, if i can trick my XTR derailer to do that ?

Well I still have my granny gear on my cranks so i'll just say that's number 2 and then i'll just carry around a spare cog with me and say that it's adjustable on the fly lol.
I want to race the rigid and see... I don't think it'll be that bad (a la X Games DH BMX), i'm sure i'll get some funny looks though, now if there was just more than 1 MX race within 200 miles of me lol.
