Wanted: cheap 700C clincher gravel/cx tyres

Posted on
  • Looking for some knobbage for my old CX bike. This pic shows a 700x40mm road tyre. Knobbies will need to clear brake and fork so can't be to voluminouousousousous

    Don't need anything flash

  • If it can wait till next week l have XC Pros in here https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/387112/#comment17009427

  • Got some Vittoria Terreno 33-622 I bought on here but then didn't need. £30/pr, good used condition (some wear but plenty of life in 'em yet).

    Or if you're feeling flush how about a pair of René Herse STEILACOOM TC (700C X 38) in Endurance tan wall casing, brand new in sealed packets, £175/pr (that's 10% off SRP believe it or not). Their sizing includes the knobbules so should fit OK.

  • The "plan" for this bike is to ride it to pubs and maybe some London canal paths and whatever "gravel" shit I can find. It's definitely not getting £175 worth of tyres - that's more than my TT bike rubber!

  • Yeah that wasn't an offer expecting much take-up! How about the Terrenos for £25 to get them out of my way then? They are folders, or for the same money I have some new wired Vittoria Randonneur Trekking 35s, not knobbies per se but deffo canal path candidates...

  • Which sort of Terreno? Someone else has got some used things for cheaps so they're winning currently.

  • Terreno WET Tubeless Ready Graphene 2.0 apparently.
    One has a bit more wear than I recall although to be honest I already didn't need them anymore when they arrived so just chucked them in the tyre box of doom.
    Down to £20

  • Ok, go on then, what's another set of tyres in my ever-expanding waistline tyre collection.

  • Pair of gumwall gravelking sk 32mm. Probably hit 34mm depending on the rim.

    Reasonable tread left, maybe between 1/2 and 2/3.

    £20?

  • Thanks but I'm going to grab what @scultura and @retrodicorsa have for now and see what they're like. If anything, I'd like to try and go bigger than CX tyres but I'm not sure how likely that is yet.

  • Nice and chonky!
