SSCX Only!

Marathon supreme are also great for that kind of thing

Agree, definitely don't need knobbly tyres for compressed dirt and gravel. And even if you do use knobbly tyres the effect of tiny knobs on a relativaly small 27c tyre are not likely to make any difference. The main difference will be they make the road riding part of your ride worse.

60% of my riding is on compacted dirt/gravel using 25c tyres with little tread and I fly by people on MTBs (until I get to anything remotely technical)

I've been riding my paselas on such surfaces and they do great.

They also roll well on the road.

ive gone for the paselas^

mixed reviews but they look nice too..

^Wouldn't want to take that offroad with that spokecount...

the hoods looking really long and the saddle to bar-drop is quite huge for cx. but it looks fast and stealthy! after a couple of crashes i would never ride a carbon frame for cx.

Anyone interested in a 58cm Specialized tricross ss?
Its just not for me and I want something fixed for the road

Built for one purpose ... Speed !! Yes I'm flexible for a vet ;)

No crashing planned but chinese carbon cheap to replace :)

youve only had it 5 minutes ! Give it time / wait for it to get muddy again . Or at least keep and buy a cheap fixie for the road . They are fucking everywhere so shouldnt be hard .

I know, if I could keep it and get something else I would but I've just moved flat and money is really tight and I need something for getting to work quicker. I don't go off road nearly enough to warrant the bike and I'd rather someone get some use out of it. I would only need to throw money at it trying to make it a langster when it isn't.
But to buy a road fixed I need to sell this and use the money. Needs must.

Looks similar to my favourite riding place. Swedish forests are so fun.

anyone ever fitted a cyclocross knobbie tire in an alpina track fork? mission impossible?

Apparently they fit 28C so if you find a particularly skinny cross tyre maybe

think this might work? Schwalbe CX Pro tyre 30c

I think it depends more on the height than the width.

Yes - the CX Pro tyre is mighty tall - the Alpina Track isn't.

thanks guys, then i'll go for something else!

Crap. I'll try that again.
