I've just bought a cyclocross bike on impulse (although it's been on my mind for a while).
It's totally new to me. Done a bit of research on the web and need to do more. But I would be interested to hear any opinions on the following........
・Fit
I've read that:
>saddle height should be similar to road bike height
>reach (saddle nose to handlebar centre) should be 1 to 2cm shorter
>drop (saddle height to handlebar height) should be 1 to 2cm shorter
・equipment
It seems CX looks to the MTB world in terms of foot / pedal interface.
Any recommendations on pedals and shoes?
・racing
I hope to do some CX on this bike in the off season.
Moreover, I'm interested in off road gravel type races.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Much appreciated!
Cheers, Andy
