Dear Brain Trust:
I'm racing Bubble on Sunday, CAT 5. I've watched the videos and I know that there is a beach, some solid flats, grass and wooded areas. I'm on clinchers this season and I have to make my choices early according to what I'm seeing in the forecast. It looks like it will be dry. I know that files are very good for sand, but I'm still "green", so I don't feel good about LAS's front and back. As an experiment (and after a good google search) I put an MXP on the front and LAS on the rear and gave it a whirl at the park. It seemed fine. I even PR'd the gravel pit, which was inspiring. The only downside was unweighting the rear on a climb, which led to a spin session.
I understand that so much of this CX thing is experimenting and finding what works for you, but I have to ask, am I nutz or is this a viable practice?
thanks for reading,
