This ensures that the Alloy CX is light enough to throw over your shoulder for the very toughest obstacles and tough enough to handle any terrain a Cyclocross event can throw at you.

If you prefer tyres that offer a little more comfort on your daily commutes or for added confidence when exploring off the beaten track the option to fit 35mm width tyres to this cross bike really does improve the ability to match the tyres to your needs. Wider tyres with reduced tyre pressure offer additional comfort. Or for those wishing to set a few Personal Bests on their commutes thinner tyres at higher pressures.
Whether you prefer the solitude of exploring the highways and byways on your own or prefer the camaraderie of your local club mates you can be assured that no more will you have to suffer from the wet derriere or even worse soaked feet. The reason for this is that we have thoughtfully added discreet mudguard mounts so even with the 35mm tyres full mudguards can be mounted. No more will you be relegated to the back of the group for splattering your club mates with spray from your wheels!

Ribble CX Customer Reviews
My only gripe would be that the crank was installed really tight and even when using the specific shimano Hollowtech II tool it took some engineering to get it twisted off to put a power meter on. But the rest of the bike was put together really professionally and out of the box it only took slightly over an hour to build it.
