I’ve raced 1.5hr xc races, Brighton big dog (6hr) as a team and solo, and strathpuffer (24hr) as a quad and as a pair.
They’re all miserable.

Problem with having an xc bike is that it makes you also want an enduro bike.

Only slightly less awkward than a 20 quid qr seat clamp

It’s impossible to get one that was suitable for my bike, they only come in relatively short lengths with 125mm drop and I need a 400m seat post, otherwise yes a crotch grabber would have been ideal
-
I think axs is the only way to go for a dropper on an xc bike. I had a ks lev integra on my Scott scale briefly and between the dropper cable, remote lockout, brakes, and gear cable it was a birds nest of cables at the front end. I wanted a dropper post less than I wanted a tidy handlebar.
I’ve since ordere a carbon hope seatpost and in true lfgss fashion, will build an enduro bike around my dropper post.

Yeh just something a bit nicer than the plonk that comes on a €1800 bike. Hope would be nice but a bit less clear on availability than hunt.

Probably not, I usually opt for a citrus degreaser when I have the option, but you could weigh it up that any degreaser that prolongs the life of your chain/cassette/chainrings has a lower environmental impact than replacing chain/cassette/chainrings more regularly
-
Any recommendations for a decent set of xc wheels that aren’t ludicrously expensive. 29er boost fitment. Hunt the best bet?

And tragically bad for the environment
Haha no he no longer travels south of London so Brighton was out of the question.
