Road race on XC bike?

So i live in a small village far from anything bike race related but there is actually one bike race each summer, unfortunately it’s a road race but I’m thinking of signing up for it anyway just for fun. Would be even more fun to not get last place!

I only have the XC bike though. So to prepare, what can i do besides lock out suspension and higher tire pressure. 36T crankset? Aero bars?

Would love any tips 😂

XC Bike fit/riding position

I’d like to start by saying that i should have worn my bike kit for the video to make it easier to judge, but i’m away for the weekend and i can’t ride it, but also can’t stop thinking about my new bike and obsessing over every detail.

Is there anything you can tell me off this video, does it look ok?

Video is in 50% speed

Hello, i’ve just ordered a Merida Ninety-Six 400 a few days ago.

It’s arriving on 2.25” Maxxis Rekon Race tires but i have a feeling i’ll want to get wider tires ASAP.

Are 2.4” ok to run on rims with 25mm inner width?

Also would like some tips on what tires to put on. I want to be fast of course but will only be racing against myself on mountain/forest trails.

Thanks!
