Can you race cross in the lower categories with disc brakes?
Hi.
I'm thinking about getting a commuter bike. I'm thinking maybe a cyclocross bike, so I could try out some of the local trails and maybe even give cyclocross racing a whirl. Now I know the UCI has banned disc brakes, but I kind of thought the ban applies only to the more elite levels. So that's the question: can a newb show up with discs and race in some sort of Novice or Beginner or Cat 5 class?
thanks!
