The new 'cross rig: Specialized Crux
September is upon us. The weather has suddenly turned beautiful and 'cross practices are well underway. I've put in a bit more "trail time" this year, trying to improve my off road handling skills that become so crucial when the weather turns nasty.
I'm excited to try out the Crux in actual race conditions. It steers a bit quicker and is more sure footed than the Tricross was, though it is a bit heavier. The main difference is the front end is very stout. The tapered head tube and steerer make it feel almost Tarmacian in its handling. And yes, that is a good thing.
A more detailed review after some racing!
(This is not the final spec for the bike. For one, those shorty 6's have got to go!)
