• Ok, so let’s go with regular tubed clinchers then. What should I be looking at for a set of reasonable tires for My First CX Race(tm)? Not too expensive, probably around 30-35c given the clearances I’ve got.

  • If you only have space / budget for one set of tyres then I'd go for a mud tread.

    See what you can find going cheapest out of Challenge Limus, Michelin Power Mud (not the old mud 2) and Schwalbe x-one bite. Maybe look at Specialized Terra (I didn't get on with these) and I'm sure @andyp will be along in a minute to spruik the Vittoria offerings!
