• Just bought the Triban 520, mainly for a winter road bike, but will be using it off the road at weekends etc.. wanted to fit some 700 x 32's was going to just fit Gatorskins, but am now thinking of going tubeless with Schwalbe X-One Speed MicroSkins.. Haven't ever ridden them, is it worth the faff..

  • but will be using it off the road at weekends...

    The Triban 520 will clear 32mm with aplomb, however, the clearance is very tight for riding off the beaten path, I would advise against this, especially since the knob will stick out a bit further than a slick 33mm tyres.

    Maybe this Clement in 32mm might be a bit better as it's slightly lower profile, and a good combination for on and off road (with a tweak in tyres pressure)

    £21 too.

    Alternately the smaller Schwalbe CX Comp in 30mm is also a good shout and have enough knob but decent on the road, can be found for a tenner if you look around;
