SSCX bike regulations?
My apologies if this isn't the right forum, but I haven't found an answer elsewhere. Are there any rules governing bikes and tires for SSCX, or is it pretty much anything goes? For example, can I run a 43mm 650b wheelset? Could I run a SSMTB? Thanks!

Technically its limited to 33mm. But the races I do are pretty laid back, and people just run whatever they have (including mountain bikes). Maybe if you are taking podium in a UCI race, someone might protest - but most of the time CX people just want to have fun.
Ultimately that is a question for the race organizers.

What chas58 said. I'd check with the organizers to be sure, there are usually rules about having 2 brakes and no forward-facing extensions, but I would bet that they're going to be fine with whatever you show up on. My local race series will even let you ride a geared bike with zip-tied shifters in the SS race.
