CX / Gravel Grinder Build

[spirometre]

any of the file treads will wear down ridden on the road. they are CX soft and designed to be ridden on grass/dirt not pavement.

+1

The rubber is really soft on CX race tyres and the tread will disappear in seconds on the road.

Grab another set of gravel/road tyres and it will be sweet. I am sure there will be plenty of recommendations.

$75 each? is that local? tubular or clincher? they are 42ish on ribble (clincher).

Sammy slick folding?
Vittoria XM Folding? ~$25ish- I have the XG’s I got off Nikcee, nice smooth riding tyre but I don’t think they would last long with much pavment action. (there are the XN’s too for a file tread)

I have read good things about the Clement X’plor USH and MSO… for mixed terrain tyres.

XGs have remarkable staying power on asphalt. clements continue to get good reviews in my reading.

Ok this is quite long ago but I’d love to see a pic of the complete built.

Red and not pink? Also like Marc said, any updates?

This never got built up by Dubrat. Was sold onto someone down south though.

Any other suggestions for tyres ? Can get the the Grifo’s for $75 each which seem reasonable

Not sure whether you found your tires but here’s my 2c. I’m trying grand Bois cypres 30 mm ATM and I’m totally in love. They would not be good for proper cx racing (they are slicks) but for gravel grinding they’re amazing. I just used them on a 200 ks ride over the weekend and they were great on tarmac, muddy forest roads and coarse gravel/rocky roads. Some of us had punctures during this ride but not the two of us rolling on grand Bois.

Also, they are very fast. I used them on bunch rides and didn’t feel that they slowed me down compared to my usual Rubinos or Shwalbe 25mm.

Not cheap ($75 postpaid from Commuter Cycles) but well worth it.

Too busy putting auto p0Rn on da 'gram.
