No questions about the build...more importatntly...how are you feeling? With your results I'd say you're feeling well. To what things do you attribute your success so far? I love your attitude about the injury and know it was very difficult. Go, man, GO!
Its not about the bike...sure having a nice bike is great but with everyone else riding top tier bikes as well, we all know that it comes down to the rider. Without a good starting position in the start grid, you've done really well so far. It all comes down to physical talent, skill, drive & heart. How one goes forth in life in the face of adversity is the true marker of the person. Well done Cameron & have faith. Always believe & you will succeed.
Cameron, I can't wait till you post a video. Congratulations on the big win at Dendermonde. Every Scot must be proud! Keep up the great work, a win on the world's course (which I believe suits your abilities perfectly) is a real possibility. Good luck, Jay.
Hope you get a chance to see this before you race Sunday. You got this (besancon) course, corners and climbing, two things you do exceptionally well. Give it a go, I'll be cheering from all the way over here in Massachusetts. Keep the Scottish end in the saddle and the rubber side down.
Something I've always wondered about cross bikes: how often do you do clean your bearings or replace brake pads and chains? On my mtb it feels like there's permanently dirt in my headset because of all the mud during winter, and the chain gets a mud bath pretty much every week, so was wondering if it's something similar for your bikes
Nice to see a CX bike check; GCN don't seem to bother anymore......Question on tyre choice - would you ever go for a mix? Grip on the front, and speed for the rear?
Just remember this is cross not the road. An average rider, one without Cameron's skill set, is giving away a lot of bike handling by going narrow up front. Not an upgrade unless you have the skills - and few do.
Hi Cam, thanks for the video. Why do you run tubulars rather than tubeless? Is that common for CX? Looking for tips for the Clarions Santa CX on the 5th ;-)
Yes most run tubular for cyclocross. Be the tire is glued to the rim you can run really low pressure for the good grip while also having some stability. Tubeless is a great option too but at low pressure there is a risk of the tire coming off the rim.
I’m really curious about the geometry - wasn’t it lengthened and slacked out a bit? I’ve had a few Cruxes and loved them but if anything I think a shorter wheelbase and steeper next bike might be nice
I haven’t noticed much of a difference in handling. If anything is is more suited to modern cx which is a bit higher speeds and also still technical. The bike handles just fine in the tight stuff
@@cameronmason you’re a better bike handler than me for sure so that’s a good vote of confidence. My local series is rarely slow conditions too, which I imagine is common for most amateurs.
On the power train, at the front you mentioned 42T and 44T chainrings. Do you know what is the max chainring this bike can handle on single speed SRAM 1x?
Why do you ride your hoods tucked in since this season? Do you have better grip like this? and how do you set up them, that they all have the same position ?
The bars we are riding this season are naturally a bit flared so that makes the shifter like this also. It is quite subtle I think but I am liking the different position. A bit more comfortable and natural. To make them all in the same position is just a lot of measuring from different places. But it is difficult
@@cameronmason I also tried it for this season but for me it was a bit to unstable while out of the saddle. But yeah i also can understand your struggle to put them into the same Position ;)
@@majesticcmike I agree. People who do it on the road mostly ride in the saddle I think. Big with my bars they are only flared a bit and I am still happy out of the saddle
@cameronmason I just got 54cm crux comp 2024 and I'm 180.5 cm, felt like I could go either way 54 or 56, chose the smaller bike to be more nimble. We'll see how it goes hehe

Sorry about the audio being rubbish in this. Will try harder next time 🙏
Don't be too hard on yourself. It's super cool that you make videos at all!!

I’m all good. Not much has changed in how I train and race. A mixture of patience, quality work and skills are helping me achieve these things.
Great bike Cameron!

With your incredible fitness and such an awesome bike, this is your year! Woo hoo!
lovely bike 'n audio was fine.......cheers!
Great video, thanks Cam. Go Cammie Go!
Love the tech vids Cameron. It's good to see whats on the front row👍
Cool video. Always rooting for you in the races, keep up the good work!
Always enjoy your videos, the bike looks awesome 🔥
Absolutely loved the vid! Good luck in Kortrijk and Besancon! Hope you ride them both 🙌

Thanks. I won’t be racing though. I am taking a break for training now.
Nice bike Cameron!! 🔥
Was this recorded in Hofstade because I think i recognise it.
Yes 👍
Nice bike !
Solid!
Im 6' what size bike should i get?

They get changed when they wear out but after a super muddy race the bikes are stripped and cleaned to make sure the mud is out.
Nice to see a CX bike check; GCN don't seem to bother anymore......Question on tyre choice - would you ever go for a mix? Grip on the front, and speed for the rear?
Maybe a baby Limus and a full limus. But normally when you want grip for the front you also need it in the back so you can put the power down.
Again pls, how can we win one? 😜
Bike lit. Bike check 👍
I am 6'1" which size should I buy?
pretty narrow bars. few weeks ago swapped from 440 to 400 and thats a huge step up

@@cameronmason Thanks, yeah that makes total sense.
@@cameronmason hi Cameron how much pressure on Tubular ? ( Weight too :)) thx

How much better is it compared to your old giant tcx with the heavy Rival HRD?
Quite a lot better!
On the power train, at the front you mentioned 42T and 44T chainrings. Do you know what is the max chainring this bike can handle on single speed SRAM 1x?
I am interested in using 46t to 48t mostly in flat terrain
Yeah you’ll be able to get a 48t in as the bike can also be run with a double chain set
What Chain oil do you use? Do you use wax instead in the sand? Thx
Just a standard sram chain. In the sand we degrees it then don’t use any oil
Are you recent or do you prefer the red team edition challenge or the normal ones?
I don’t notice a massive difference but in super muddy races the red Linus at low pressure works really wel
Why do you still ride on the older model Zipp wheels?
Not sure if they bake the new ones in tubular
Hey Cameron, which chainguard do you run ?
It’s a custom 3D printed one

@@cameronmason thank you for your time cam. Real human behaviour. Hyped to See you in the next races :)
Do you use a power meter during racing?
I have it on one bike so it depends on the course if I have data or not because of bike changes.
How tall are you? My saddle height is as well 75cm and I am 181cm tall. I ride a 56cm frame. Very nice bike btw
I am 175cm tall
@@cameronmason did you say your saddle was 70.5cm?
@@rockycycling2102 71.5cm
😳🤩
What tire width are you usually running?
Always 33mm
Your height for 54cm crux?
176cm
